Simon Says Stamp and Show Some Metal

This card I made from bits of stuff I had laying around from other projects so I thought I'd try and make a card to fit the challenge this week over at SSSS.It's all about metal. For the BG I covered a piece of tin foil with alcohol inks and them put it through the CB folder textile after which I sanded a bit so the foil would show through. The bird I make by inking a piece of foil duct tape with AI and then put that through the CB folder bubbles. I also ran the cage through the CB folder bubbles and the sponged with gold acrylic paint dabber. The square medallions I also did with acrylic paint. The flower was made from brown paper using TH tattered florals die and homemade glimmer mist .

CCC#34 Dimensional collage fragments, Simon Says Stamp and Show some Ephemera

Well it's time for another challenge over at StudioL3 can't believe it's soon going to be over . Linda has chosen the challenge this week from page 63 of Tim's book A Compendium of Curiosities --Dimensional collage fragments. I struggled with this one this week cause I didn't have any fragments that were large enough so I happened to come across a clear CD that was in my stash and thought this might work. I followed the technique on page using some page that I cut from a paper bag which had old advertising on it and Tim's Lost and Found Pad.In the center of the Cd I added a wheel and decided to make into a card .
Also entering this in Simon Says Stamp and Show some Ephemera. I think the paper bag that I used shows some Ephemera.

CCC#33 Altered Metal Alcohol Inks, and SSSandShow Stripes

Another week has gone by and the challenges over at StudioL3 are coming closer and closer to an end. Will really miss doing them and hoping that Linda will come up with something else . This week the challenge is Altered Metal alcohol inks taken from page 56 of the Compendium . I chose to make another tag using stamps from Paper Bag Studio and Tim's collection . I inked my tag with DI antique linen,weathered wood and faded jeans adding black soot around the edges. Images were stamped with Archival ink and DI walnut stain. I colored in the wings with DI mustard seed. Sorry that the crown is a little hard to make out but I stamped it with gold dabber paint. The technique is done on the butterfly which I received from my friend Sharon a long time ago and was keeping to use on something special
For details on how I did the butterfly you'll have to go to page 56 of the CC book.

I'm also entering this in Simon Says Stamp and Show some Stripes. There is stripes in the ribbon on the tag. So I think this qualifies.

CCC#31 Rusted Enamel

This week Linda over at StudioL3 has chosen Rusted Enamel for the #31 challenge . Can you believe we have completed 30 already they have been so much fun and "Challenging" of course. Can't give away too much of the details as it's against the rules and would be fair the Tim himself but you can find all about Rusted Enamel on page 41 of the Compendium Curiosities book. I made a tag using weathered wood DI to cover the tag and walnut stain DI for the Rusted Enamel tech. The stamp is one of my older stamps from Stampington & Company --elegant stems The flourish and bird I had left over from other projects added a ticket and memo clip and I was done .

Sugar Creek Hollow -sweet vintage valentine

Well I have my stitches out and my craft room back together so now it's time to start stamping and creating again. I love making Valentines so thought I'd share a couple that I did today . This a tag I did using one of my older stamps from Paper inspirations and cutting out just the heart with the cherubs. The flower I made out of vellum with TH tattered florals die saw a tutorial over at Joan's Gardens so gave it a try . I love how it turned out .I embossed the vellum with CB folder swiss dots then sponged with Aged Mahogany DI and misted with glimmer mist. This made the vellum soft and easy to curl . The sentiment was stamped on PP with Versafine Sepia.



Entering this in a couple of other challenges
