Stenciled Tag Challenge

I created this tag for a upcoming swap at a Yahoo Group I belong with.  The swap challenge is to use a stencil in your design.  The stencil I chose to use was the Clock stencil by Tim Holtz.  I layered the stencil over a tag that was coloured with several different distressed inks.   To highlight the design I outlined the image with a white gell pen. 

I added several time and railway stamped images that were stamped on a gelli print paper. To complete the tag I added a fabric ribbon. Thank you for stopping by.

Deck the Halls

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges is having a "Deck the Halls" challenge this week and this is my card for the challenge.

I used one of our sponsor The Stamping Boutique's image for this card.  The image is called Princess Jennifer Latte Decorating the Tree image.  You can find the image I used here.

I decided to use non-traditional Christmas colours for my card.  I thought they suited the princess.  I coloured my card with Copics and a silver pen  and then added some Diamond Glaze to give the Christmas balls some texture and shine. To add some  sparkle to the tree and her little black party dress I added silver  and black glitter.

Thank you for stopping by and have a very creative day.

Road Trip Tag

I made this tag and envelope for a tag swap at Inky Fun Stampers this week.    The swap was to create a tag with numbers in the background.   My numbered background was a embossing folder with ruler markings on it. I first added distress inks to the tag and spritz them with a little water.  Next I put the tag in the embossing folder. Once I had the tag embossed I ran a walnut distress ink pad over the numbers to highlight them. 

To complete my tag I added some gears, brads, fabric bow, stamp, embossed bus ticket and a sentiment.   The envelope for the tag was made with my envelop punch. 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look at my project.  Have a creative day.

Birthday Card for My Husband

I just finished this birthday card for my husband's birthday this week.  I am sure he will not see it since he never looks at my blog.   I had fun making the card.  The background was made by putting distressed inks in the embossing folder and spritzing it with water and the putting the folder with the paper in it through the Sizzix. 

The owl image is a stamp from Stampendous that I just love. He was coloured with Copics and I added diamond glaze to his watch.   The sentiment was a saying I found on the internet at Barb's World of Whimcees. She has a get list of sentiments for Owl cards.
