Day 21 - Karen Telfer's "24 Days Of Tags" Challenge - featuring Lavinia Stamps "Flower Fairy"

It's Day 21 of Karen Telfer's "24 Days of Tags" Challenge.  Today is a bright and cheery tag featuring Lavinia Stamps.

I spritzed a Lavinia Stamps "Feather Leaf" stencil with water, then lay the wet side down over the blended coloured background, blotting any surplus water.  I then lifted the stencil and blotted the tag.  I used my heat gun to fully dry the tag.

The background of this tag is made up of three Distress Oxide Inks:  Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed and Picked Raspberry.

I then stamped the Lavinia "Flower Fairy" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  Using a moon mask, I created the circle edge in "Abandoned Coral" Distress Oxide Ink.

From the top of the tag, I multi stamped the Lavinia "Forest Spruce" in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I then stamped the "Creeping Vine" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

At the base of the tag, I stamped "Spanish Moss" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and then inked the edges of the tag.  

Finally, I added some flowers using "White Pearl" Liquid Pearls and set aside to dry,

Day 20 - Karen Telfer's "24 Days of Tags" challenge.

This is my Day 20 tag. Today the prompt was using acrylic paint on a gel plate and take a patterned impression. 

I used Paperartsy Opaque Chalk Acrylics and made several backgrounds for future use.  Some using a stencil, some with bubble wrap. 

For this tag, I used two shades of paint Cribbean Sea and Elephant, applied to the gel plate with a brayer.

I lay Funky Fossil "Snow Flurry" stencil over the top of the gel plate and applied a little pressure.  I then lifted the stencil swapping it for a piece of white card, smoothing the card over the gel plate, applying a little pressure.  I then lifted the card, resulting in the tag on the top right hand side in the photo above. I washed the stencil, gel plate and brayer immediately before the paint was fully dry.

Using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I stamped the snowflakes.

I used an anti-static bag across the surface of the tag then stamped the "Fa La La" sentiment (part of the Funky Fossil stampe set by the same name), in Wow! clear embossing powder.

I then covered the stamped area with Wow! Metallic Gold Super Fine embossing powder and heat set.

Using a metallic gold pen, I added an edged border to the tag and little highlights to the snowflakes.

Day 19 of Karen Telfer's "24 Days Of Tags" Challenge (Lavinia Stamps Pheasant)

This is my Day 19 Tag of Karen Telfer's "24 Days Of Tags" Challenge. 

I've used diluted Brusho paint (White, Lemon and Purple) on a gelli plate brayered using Lavinia Stamps "Mulberry" Elements Ink to create the background.

I've used three Lavinia Stamps:  Pheasant, Spanish Moss and their Twisted Vine Set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I've used a white ink around the edges to give a more misty look to the tag.

Funky Fossil "Daisy Paisley Trio Stencil" Tag

There was no tag challenge today as Karen was having technical issues, instead I made this tag, featuring Funky Fossil products.

The backgroud, was created by blending three shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Squeezed Lemonade, Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral.

Using Versafie Clair "Summertime" orange coloured ink, I stamped script in random positions using a stamp from the Funky Fossil "Musings" stamp set.

I selected Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink to use through the Funky Fossil "Daisy Paisley Trio Stencil".

I splattered gold paint by lightly tapping a fan brush over the tag.  Then used a metallic gold pen to add highlights to the stencilled area.

Funky Fossil "Folk Roses" Card

I've made this pretty little card using the Funky Fossil "Folk Roses" stencil.

I started by covering the base of the card with "Spun Sugar" Distress Oxide ink.

I lay the stencil over the top and filled in the area with "Worn Lipstick" Distress Oxide.  I then painted darker pinks using "Picked Raspberry" and "Festive Berries" Distress Oxide ink, adding highlights using a white Posca Pen.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment in the middle using Versafine Clair "Glamorous" ink with two stamps from the Funky Fossil "Happy Words" stamp set.

Day 18 of Karen Telfer's "24 Days of Tags" Challenge

This is my Day 18 tag, part of the Karen Telfer's 24 Days of Tags challenge.  Today the prompt was "patterned papers". 

I have used patterned papers from an old "My Mind's Eye" paper collection.  I have distressed the edges and inked them.  I have created dimension and texture by using foam pads and puffy paint.  I have also used some brads from my stash which I have had for more than 15 years!

Lavinia Stamps "Mary" Christmas Tag

A few days ago, you may recall I had a session of playing with Brusho, creating a few backgrounds.  One of them that I made set an idea off in my head, so today I decided to put it on a tag.  This was the Brusho session and for this tag, i've used the central horitontal tag.

Using Versafine Clair "Glamorous" pink ink, I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Christmas Words" over the Brusho background colour.

Next, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink, I stamped the "Mary" silhouetted figures.  I created the hils using a torn edge of copy paper with "Morning Mist" Versafine Clair grey ink and grounded the figures.

I used a star stamp which is part of a Visible Image set called "Peace, Love and Hope", stamped in Wow! clear embossing ink and then coated with Wow! Metallic  Gold Rich Pale super fine embossing powder, then heat set.

Using some low tack masking tape and Hero Hues "Unicorn" white ink, I created the rays coming from the star.
