WMS PJ Party Gift Tag

More Waltzingmouse Pajama Partying and I'm still dotty about glitter paste, but I've used gold this time. This is a fun tag for a bride to be with a little fiesta fringe in ombre pink and glitter, of course! I used some partial diecutting and a trimmer to make the large tag and distress markers and promarkers to colour the images.

Using watercolour cardstock left me with the dilemma of how to colour a white dress when the cardstock has a cream tone. I've used Old Paper and Weathered Wood to create some shadows and give the illusion of a white dress, the blue background wash and distress inking help enhance this. Clear Wink of Stella gives a subtle shine to the dress.

WMS Pajama Party Scandi Tag

 

Waltzingmouse Stamps Teeny Trees transformed to a Scandinavian Christmas! I've white heat embossed repeating patterns on red card stock, cut it into strips and created a Christmas tree. My favourite is the teeniest tree turned into a row of the knit stitch. I've used white embossing paste stencilled through Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow, then glittered it for a little festive shimmer.

I've concentrated on one main visual element for the tag to keep it as CAS as possible. This tag is great for mass production as I stamped lines of the repeating images and can use the cut offs to make a few more tags.

On the back I've restamped the stitched tag stamp from Lawn Fawn and the sentiments from Teeny Trees.

Lawnscaping Winter Blog Hop 2013

Welcome from Lisa's fabulous blog! 

I hope you enjoy my winter card that I have created for my first hop with Lawnscaping Challenges! I'm really looking forward to the gorgeous creations to be seen along the hop. If you want to start at the beginning so as not to miss out on all the fun go to the Lawnscaping Challenges Blog.

This card has gone through many revisions and I've finally gone with the less is best approach and removed all my extra snowy hills. I love the crisp line of the sledding slopes against the distressed ink snowy sky. Blue and orange may not be the first colour combination you think for a winter card, but this one has a special recipient in mind who's favourite colour is orange!

The bunny is on a spring so my little one can have some fun when he opens his card. Unfortunately the gloomy winter sky over Ireland didn't allow the camera to catch the lovely sparkle provided by the Wink of Stella glitter brush on the bunny's scarf.

I've coloured the gem using a Mandarin Flexmarker to match the scarf.

Next is Sabine's wonderful blog.

Lawn Fawn Tag

I've just received the Winter Bunny stamp and die, and I love it! Keeping the bunny & sled white with just a little grey shading and sliver metal work make this tag quick to produce in bulk. I've created my own distress ink background, using some trees from the Peace Love Joy stamp set, for Winter Bunny to whiz through. A smattering of  glitter and a splash of glimmer mist add a lovely shine to the background. Wink of Stella on the scarf, fabulous Lawn Fawn sequins and gold sparkle cord finish the tag.

It's A Wrap Challenge- PTI Tag

Papertrey Ink is celebrating 6 years & today's challenge is to find an inspiration photo and create a wrap, tag or gift packaging based on it. Pinterest yielded a beautiful sunflower & butterfly. I used water colour pencils on my butterfly & covered it with glimmer mist for some shine. The PTI Simple Sunflower was stamped with Memento Rich Coco & Tim Holtz Distress Inks with Stickles for a bit of glitter. I distressed the edges of the tag with Antique Linen, added some Trendy Tape & threaded some yellow buttons onto twine. More twine for the butterfly's antennae and some doodling & Stickles for its contrail. I wanted a tall sunflower so I used the Sending You Sunshine sentiment as its stalk. Hopefully this will bring some sunshine (à la glitter) with my gift.

In the spotlight:

Hope to see you soon :)
