I love Paris

I created this tag for an upcoming swap which required a key in the design of the tag.  I had fun layering the tag.  I used the following to create the tag.  

• Background - several colours of metallic Inka Gold
• Background - stamped with jigsaw puzzle stamp from my stash
• Keys - were die cuts that were layered with several layers of embossing powder to give them a metal look
• Washi tape with a Paris theme and one with a key theme
• Love sentiment stamp from my stash
• Alphabet stamp from my stash
• Tim Holtz Eiffel Tower stamp 
• Heart stamp from my stash 

Hope my swap partner enjoys the tag.  Thank you for stopping by.

Christmas Ornament Challenge

My turn the chose the challenge this week at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges and I chose the theme to be Christmas ornaments, either an actual ornament or a card or tag with an ornament on it. 

I chose to make this bird cage ornament using two different Tim Holtz's dies along with two dies for Dee's Distinctively. I coloured my bird with several shades of Inka Gold then I polished the bird to make it shine.  The bird cage was embossed and copper colour embossing powder was added and textured to give the cage an aged effect. 

The branches were stippled with Dimensional Pearls and then I added the brown pearls to the cage.  The snow was added using Liquid Applique and heating it up to puff it up to make it look more like snow. 

Hope you will join us this week at Holly Jolly.  Pop over to our blog and see the other creations the design team members have made to inspire you.

Inka Gold and Fabric Experiment

For an upcoming tag swap with the theme of fabric on a tag I decided to play with my Inka Gold and some upholstery fabric. I painted my fabric with gold, green and purple Inka Gold. After the first layer of  Inka Gold had dried I used a stencil and added a few small circles of Inka Gold.
 

Once everything was dried I stamped the fabric with a rubber stamp called Flying Stars by Penny Black using Black Stazon Ink, then I added a sentiment and a die cut gold butterfly. To finish the tag I added gold fibers and some small pieces of bling.

I liked the effect of the Inka Gold on the fabric but it does not shine the way it does on some surfaces.  You can get a little shine by buffing it with a soft cloth carefully in the direction of the fibers.  I like the way bits of the texture of the upholstery fabric come through the paint. 

Thanks for stopping by to take a look.  Now back to my craft room to clean up the mess.

Playing with Inka Gold

This was the first time I have used Inka Gold on a card and I like the effect.

For the background I used my fingers to rub on the three colours with my finger, Violet, Green Yellow and Old Gold. Once paint dried I buffed it to a shine with a piece of paper towel.  The flower and leaves are by Fred, She Said Designs from the happy flowers and sentiment collection of digital stamps. To colour the flowers with Cobalt Blue Inka Gold I painted them by mixing some Inka Gold with water.  

I added my sentiment and ribbon ans my card is complete.  Thank you for stopping by to see my card.  I liked the Inka Gold and I would like to play with the product more.
