Tim Holtz Paper Doll on wax resist background

A little background to this tag.  About two years ago, I had some Distress Oxide Inks (Antique Linen, Brushoed Corduroy, Vintage Photo and Specikled Egg), on my glass mat, so instead of wasting them, I decided to put them on a tag, but before I did that, I ran a Brusho wax resist crayon over the surface in a very rough cross hatch pattern.  I added the inks and the crayon did it's job, by exposing the crayon.  Once the tag was dry, I put it away for another day and forgot about it.

I had a bit of a tidying / tweak session to my craft cupboard this afternoon and came across the long forgotten tag, so decided to do something with it.  I added some more Distrss Oxide Inks to it.  This time, Forest Moss and Ground Espresso.

I splattered Aqua Green and Black Posca Pens across the surface of the tag.  Once dry I then used Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink to stamp the lines on the tag.  The stamp is part of a Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous stamp and stencil set with a reference of THMM114.  While the ink was out, I also stamped the leaves which are part of a Marianne Designs "Silhouette Art - CS1181" stamp set.  I then fussy cut the foliage and stuck it into position on the tag.

Using the stencil from the same stamp and stencil set mentioned above, I applied texture paste through some of the holes.  The white texture paste took on some of the colour from the oxide inks below which made it look less stark.

Finally, I added a Tim Holtz Paper doll figure and a word sticker from the Tim Holtz Clipping Stickers set.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 8

 

It's Day 8 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge and this second week is all about stencils.  This is the tag that I have made for Day 8.

I've used a selection of Stampers Anonymous / Tim Holtz products over a patterned paper base

Starting with Ranger Archival Ink "Poppy" with the Tim Holtz stencil THMM101 for the hegagons at the base and the dots at the top of the tag.

The next stencil I used was the Tim Holtz THS103 'String Layering Stencil" with "Red Geranium" Ranger Archival Ink.

I then used the Tim Holtz "Shifter Layering Stencil" with "Thistle" Ranger Archival Ink for the large vertical stripes.

I then used Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink through the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Rosette" stencil.

I inked the edges of the tag using Versafine Clair "Chianti" red ink and then "Nocturne" black ink.

I used a black fine liner pen to draw around some of the circles at the top of the tag.  Then added some splatters of black Posca Pen, before mounting the tag on to a piece of dark red card,

I used a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Paperdolls "Witches" figures and glued into position with wet glue.  I gave the figures some colour using Derwent Inktense Pencils.  Then finished the tag adding some Tim Holtz sticky backed word stickers from the "Curiosities" set.

Stampers Anonymous Travelling Companion Tag

This is a tag I started a couple of weeks ago, it then got put away and forgotten about.  I came across it this morning and thought I'd finish it.

I created a background using an assortment of Distress Oxide inks. I then used the Stampers Anonymous "Rays" stencil with `'Evergreen Bough" Distress Oxide ink.

I used the Stampers Anonymous "Haberdashery CMS105" stamp set for the dress makers form/dummy.

I used the Andy Skinner "Tornado" stencil with a shade of red distress oxide ink. I then stamped the wing and the scrolls using the Stampers Anonymous "Regal Flourish" stamp and "Vintage Photo" Distress Oxide Ink.

Finally I added a Stampers Anonymous "Clipping Sticker' for a sentiment and highlighted areas with a white Posca Pen.
