12 Tags: April No.2

This is the second tag I made this month. This time I used darker acrylic paints and more water.

I love how the wings turned out on these dragon flies all I did was stamp it onto velum, cut out only the wings then stapled them onto the tag and add a tiny bit of Pewter Distress Stain. To highlight the bodies I just added Glossy Accents. 

The stamps I used on this tag are all from Dimension Stamps:

• Realistic Dragonfly
• Newspaper Print Background
• Tomorrow Verse
• Grand Word Perfect (1)
• Forever Floral

12 Tags: April No. 1

Tim's April tag is just fabulous and when I saw it I instantly had ideas bouncing around my head so I ended up making two tags! 

Here is the first one nothing like the original but it would be rather boring if we all crafted the same hey!

The background is made using acrylic paints which I watered down then "pulled" the tag through, it gives such a great effect, even if I did make a BIG mess in the process!

For this tag I used:

• Crafty Roo Designs Stamps: Build Your Own Butterfly and Small Cog Corners.
• Dimension Stamps Stamps: Newspaper Print Background, Grand word Perfect 1 and 2 and Forever Floral.

NEW: Greeting Cards now available!

I keep getting asked if or when I was going to add Greeting Cards to the shop, well I have now.....

Blue Jack

 Spring Butterfly

U Rock!

Retro Pink

These are just a few there are many more to check out at the shop!

All finished.........

So here is the finished card made using Glitter Paste!

I love the effect you get from using it, I even used it to highlight the flowers! I never thought I would be wanting to buy more glitter but I definitely want the silver one too!

For this card I used:

Stamps: Fairy wings, Large Cog Corner and small cog corner. (The manikin is from Sew Creative by Dimension Stamps).

Inks/Stains: Distress inks: Milled Lavender and Dusty Concorde. Memento: Tuxedo Black. Glitter Paste: Copper

Other items: Tim Holtz Die Tattered Florals and Tattered Leaves. Spellbinders mixed media playtime. Brad and bead cap and finally some black ribbon.

I'm in love.....

This weekend has been crazy busy so I haven't got any crafting done. HOWEVER.....

On Sunday I went to the papercrafts show at Leigh and found Glitter Paste! I know what you are thinking I am not normally a glitter lover but I bought a tub of Glitter Paste as it looked great fun to work with and I had a quick play tonight....

I will finish it off tomorrow but I am loving how it looks! 

NEW: Necklaces added to shop!

So this week I got a little carried away making Jewellery!

I really love chunky necklaces that make a statement, just pop on a white top and one of these beauties and you are all set!

I am not sure which is my favourite....

Black and Silver Wonder

Fly Away

Flutterby

Sweetheart

So why no hop over to the shop and get a better look.......

Tick Tock Tick Tock.....

I can not tell you how long I have been wanting to make this chain, forever just doesn't seem long enough!  

Every time I have sat down to play with my beads and bobs recently my mojo whips out the room at 100mph. However this weekend it stuck around.......

I am really pleased with how it turned out and can't wait to wear it!
