Humorous Tag And ATC

Hi everyone, this week I’ve joined the Pick A Stick Facebook challenge group, they have monthly art journal, tag and ATC challenges, here are my tag and ATC for this month.

I’d like to enter my tag in the
Creative Artiste Challenge  - Anything Mixed Media Goes
More Mixed Media Challenge  - Anything Goes + Optional Orange

The background was coloured with acrylic paint and stamped with Archival ink, I don’t know the make of stamps. I collaged some book pages and washi tape to the bottom of the tag although the washi tape took over. The main image and words (both Art Impression stamps) were stamped onto card, coloured with felt tips, cut out and glued to the tag. I added some white dots using a Posca pen.

The background was coloured with acrylic paint and I used Posca pens to do the swirls, the little birdie (Joggles stamp) was stamped onto card, coloured with felt tips, cut out and glued to the ATC. The words are a Riley and Company stamp.

Thank you for visiting, you’re all very welcome. xxx

Friends Journal Page

Good morning everyone, I've a journal page to share with you today.

My Friend is the theme for the Try It On Tuesday challenge and Colour My World is the theme for the Art Journal Journey challenge. My favourite colour is green and my favourite colour combination is green and pink although there is more pink than green on my page.

I coloured the background with Distress Oxides and stamped with Archival ink. I used a stencil for the leaves. The stamps that I used are Paperartsy, Seth Apter and Kaisercraft.

I found some lovely napkins at Ally Pally last weekend, one of them had pink roses on so I cut out some roses and glued them to the page.

I added some Tim Holtz images and stamped some words with Art Impressions and Dyan Reaveley/Dylusions stamps.

The words are
A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

Girlfriends make the best accessories.

Thank you for visiting me, have a lovely day. xxx Hazel.

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all having a good weekend.

Audrey Hepburn is the latest theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge.

I glued strips of black card to my red postcard. The image and quote were stamped and embossed on white card, I cut them at and angle and glued them to the card.

Thank you for looking, have a lovely Sunday.

12 Tags of 2013 - February

I was so excited when I found out that I was one of the January tag winners and still being flushed with success I thought it was time to make my February tag.
I decided to keep my tag as close to the tag that Tim made using the things that I had in my stash.
You can find Tim's February tag here.
Here is my take on the tag.

Here is a list of the things that I used.
Ripe persimmon, fired brick Distress stain.
Black soot Distress ink.
Black Archival Ink.
Watercolour pencils
Kraft core card.
QuickCutz letter and numbers die.
Art Impressions and 7Gypsies stamps.
Orange Sakura Jelly Roll pen.
Sticker from my stash.

The image was coloured with the watercolour pencils and some water.
I die cut the letters and adhered them to the Kraft core card before sanding them.
The Sakura pen was used to draw and colour the hearts at the top of the tag.

Bling, Glitter and Sparkle.

Time for another Craft-Room Challenge. It's Debi's turn to choose the theme and she has chosen Bling, Glitter and Sparkle.

The sponsor for the challenge is Rare Bird and the prize is a wonderful jewellery kit incorporating Friendly Plastic.

I've made a very simple card using an image from the Gecko Galz Hurray For Hollywood collage sheet.
All the card that I've used is glittered and the spotty vellum across the middle is glittered as well, the glitter doesn't show up very well in the photo.
I used an Art Impressions stamp for the sentiment and embellished with flowers and black gems.

We had a wonderful collection of Shabby/Vintage creations in our last challenge, thank you everyone that entered, we're looking forward to seeing your bling, glittered and sparkling creations for this challenge.
