Tag: Despite my efforts....

The other day I was playing with some Glassine paper. Distress Paint, Tattered Angels Mists, some Distress Ink... Add a little water & a heat gun and the paper curls! I used my Fringe scissors to cut into it to make 'hair'.

  The stamped and colored (pencils) image is from Dylusions. I wrote the sentiment out with a Sharpie Poster Paint pen to go along with the 'I have become my mother' quote from Lisa's Altered Art.



I added some doodling with Gel pens to the background.
Simple, yet a fun tag!

Big gigantic tag

This is a lot of surface. A LOT. Over 10x6 inches of blank canvas...
This is my first go at this size. I have ideas rolling in my head and just need to execute them.

This idea rolled in and I had an idea of how I wanted it to look, but feel "something" is missing ....



I do love the clock face! The moon and woman are both from Lisa's Altered Art.




All dies are by Tim Holtz as well as the texture fade & stamps.




I used Distress Inks, stains and crackle too.

Busy day!

When you're on a roll, you've got to go with it!

This is a card I made for a friend. I received the original design in a swap. Its simple, dimensional, yet different. AND easy enough to do, as I am 'scoring challenged'.
I liked that it kind of forced me to stick to the KISS principle, which I can't often do....
(NEED to collage issues remember?).????





The focal image is from Lisa's Altered Art.
The textured layer is a Texture Fade from T!m, done on Co-ordinations cardstock.


ATC'S
These are some ATC's I did. For no reason in particular-
Well, ok there's always a reason. Like I didn't want to 'clean' the house, go through cabinets or clean up my studio....

So this most excellent Goldfish is a La Blanche stamp. A newer line (I DO CARRY IT). O my Goodness the detail! And they stamp so very well!




The background is all Distress Ink & Stain !!!





This image is from Altered Pages. I colorized it with Distress fired brick & added Rock Candy Stickles to make her dress 'sparkleishous'! (don't let anyone tell you that's not a real word).
The folded polka-dot washi tape  is from Washi Wishes on Etsy. I have ordered SEVERAL times from this great shop, always had great service and a free roll now & again. A wonderful, always changing selection too! The background image is from a collage sheet from Lisa's Altered Art.
The quote is from my new stamps that came TODAY from Artistic Outpost. So is the amazing stencil stamp in the back.I got 3 sets of stamps from them today and can not WAIT to play with them I'm so excited!!!!

Now there's this one. I call it CODifer... I needed to make an ATC with the theme of TREES. I wanted to do something different. (YES SHOCKING I KNOW). So I made these fish by Wendy Vecchi, on Kraft Glassine (using Perfect Pearls & Archival) done already, and thought "what about a cod.ifer forest"....




I made up the dictionary entry to 'splain'.....
Sure hope Colleen 'get's' it when she get's it!

Trick or treat!

Poking around, doing something other than I should (as usual) I came acrosss Lisa Vollraths Ten Two Studios site. She had used Marie Anntoinette images to make fab Ribbon Fairy's. I needed to make something special for a friend for her Halloween Birthday, so I new this would be a fun idea to use.
