Day 13 - 24 Days of Tags Challenge with Karen Telfer (using Visible Image Simply Snowflakes)



Here's my Day 13 of Karen Telfer's "24 Days of Tags Challenge".

I've used Tumbled Glass, Mowed Lawn and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Inks to create the background, scrunching up and spritzing cling film and laying it over the top of the inked tag to create a subtle texture look to the background.



I used Versafine Clair "Twilight" ink to stamp the Visible Image "Simply Snowflakes" stamp set.  I added some touches of white using a Signo Pen.

Day 12 - 24 Days Of Tags with Karen Telfer (Lavinia Stamps Pipin)


 

Here's my Day 12 of "24 Days of Tags with Karen Telfer".

I've used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Tumbled Glass and Broken China) to create the mottled background.

I've used Lavinia Stamps for this tag, all stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.  I used "Pipin" the mini hare, the "Fern Branch" and the sentiment is "Every Dream Begins With A Wish".

I used a white puff type product to create the snow flakes and the snow on the branches.  I also added some sparkle using a Lavinia "Holographic Moon Dust".

Day 11 - 24 Days of Tags with Karen Telfer

 


Here's my Day 11 tag of the 24 Days of Tags challenge with Karen Telfer.

The background of this tag was made by scrunching up a tag tightly, the opening it out and inking over the raised areas with Distress Oxide Ink, creating the abstract background.  I used a Lavinia Stamp for the snowflakes, stamped in "London Fog" grey Memento ink.

Using patterned paper, rolled around an pencil and then glued, I created the Christmas tree using off-cuts of Funky Fossil "Let It Snow" patterned papers.  I used sequins for decorations and a snowflake charm to top the Christmas tree,

Day 10 - 24 Days of Tags with Karen Telfer


 

Here's my Day 10 tag.  My interpretation of the 24 days of tags with Karen Telfer.

I've heat embossed Lavinia Stamps "Darcy" and the "Large Stones" using Wow! White embossing powder, then heat set.

I then used three shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet).

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stampd the Lavinia "Sacred Spells" script.  I then stamped the Lavinia "Mistletoe" in Versafine Clair "Purple Delight".  I edged the lower section of the tag in the same ink.  Then edged the top section in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.

Using a Lavinia pound star stamp, I stamped the stars in "Picked Raspberry" Distress Oxide Ink.  Finally, I added the berries with "White Opal" Liquid Pearls" and added some sparkle to the stars by adding touches of "Crystal" stickles.

Day 9 - 24 Day of Tags Challenge with Karen Telfer


 

This is my Day 9 tag for the Karen Telfer 24 Days of Tags Challenge.

I've used Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide Inks for the colour on the background.  I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Floral Wreath" stamp in Wow! Clear Embossing Ink and then coated the stamped image with Wow! Metallic Rich Gold embossing powder and heat set the image.

Using Versafine Clair "Paradise" blue ink, I stamped the "Spirit of Christmas" verse all the way down the tag in second generation stamping.

Using a white Posca Pen, I coloured in areas not covered with the gold embossing powder.  I dragged a dry brush over the tag with a small amount of white acrylic paint to lighten areas and then finally using one of the Lavinia pound star stamps, stamped the star images in Versafine Clair "Twilight" ink.  

Finally, over the areas where I had lightened the berries with the Posca Pen, I added some sparkly Stickles.

Day 8 of 24 Day of Tags Challenge with Karen Telfer.



This is my Day 8 tag, I've used Gesso through the Funky Fossil "Antler Background" stencil.  Once dry, I used "Mustard Seed" and "Mermaid Lagoon" to give the background colour and to lift the antler image.

I used "Lucky Clover" Distress Oxide ink through the Funky Fossil "Leaping Stags" stenci. for the smaller stag images in the background.

I then used Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink through the image of the large stag on the same stencil.  

I added touches of sparkle to the antlers and the stag using a silver glitter Signo Pen.  I added snowflakes to the background using a white Posca Pen.

Day 7 - 24 Days of Christmas Tag Challenge with Karen Telfer



It's Day 7 of the 24 Tags of Christmas challenge with Karen Telfer.  

For this tag, I've used a Visible Image stamp set called "Snowman Jack".  I used "Tumbled Glass" and "Speckled Egg" Distress Oxide Inks for the background colour, stamping the scroll in second generation Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

The penguin was stamped using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and then heat embossed.  I coloured the penguin using Distress Oxide Inks applied with a brush.

I have a small bottle of white stuff that when applied and heated it puffs up.  There's no label on the bottle and I can not remember what it's called, but it works really well as snowflakes.  I also added some dots of "Crystal" Stickles to give some icy sparkle to the tag.
