Paperplay Tag No 2

This is the my second tag for the Paperplay June tag swap, the theme is Tag On A Tag.

For the main tag I used one of my mono prints and stamped some script with white gesso.
I stamped the image across the bottom and added some tissue tape. I stamped the image on the small tag and coloured it with distress ink. I adhered it to the large tag and added a wooden butterfly that I'd coloured with Treasure Brass and then added some ribbon.
I used PaperArtsy stamps.

Paperplay Tag

Good morning everybody, it's a lovely and sunny here at the moment, hope it's the same where you are.

I'd like to share with you one of the tags that I made for the June Paperplay tag swap, the theme is Tag On A Tag.

I coloured the tag with Portfolio Pastels and then used a mask and baby wipe to take of some of the pastel. I stamped the buildings and some script and adhered some narrow tissue tape to the bottom of the tag.
I coloured the small tag with Distress ink and stamped the image, then I adhered it to the large tag and added some seam binding that I'd dyed with distress stain and a wooden bird that I'd coloured black.

All the stamps are PaperArtsy.

Abstract ATCs

The theme for the Paperplay April ATC swap was Abstract. I wasn't sure what to do for the this as I've never done any abstract art before. I looked at some images online and decided to spread some acrylic paint on my ATCs with a palette knife and made some lines with an out of date credit card and some circles with a bottle top. I stamped the face onto some tissue paper and painted the back with white acrylic, then I cut them out and adhered them to the ATCs.

This is how they turned out.

Faces ATCs

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

I'd like to share with you some ATCs that I've made for the Paperplay ATC swap.

The ATCs were made with Gelli backgrounds and I stamped some script [PaperArtsy] with Brilliance moonlight white. I stamped the faces [La Blanche stamps] onto tissue paper and used white ink on the back before adhering them to the ATCs, I then went round the edges with some guilding flakes. The Joy sentiment is Chocolate Baroque and the others are Creative Expressions.

Bird Tag

I'd like to share with you today the second tag that I made for the Paperplay January tag swap.

I used one of my Gelli prints for the background and stamped the flying birds [Stampers Anonymous], the bird flourish [Chocolate Baroque] and the birdcage [Kaisercraft]. I put black soot Distress ink round the edge. I used the Sizzix Alterations bird branch die for the die cut, I coloured it with walnut stain and then cut the bird of the branch, this was so that I could stand the branch upright, I covered the bird with orange stickles and adhered it to the tag, then I added the sentiment [Creative Expressions].

Butterfly Tag

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all fit and well and not to wet and windblown, it's still very windy in my part of the country but at least the rain has stopped for the time being.
I'd like to share with you one of the tags that I made for the Paperplay January tag swap.

The background for the tag is one of my Gelli prints. I stamped some butterflies [stamps unknown] with peacock feathers and spiced marmalade Distress ink then I stamped some twiggy things [stamps unknown] up the sides with black Archival and then added some tissue tape to the bottom. I stamped the main image [Paperbag Studio] onto white card and coloured it with distress inks using a water brush, I cut the image out and adhered it to the card. The sentiment was stamped onto vellum and attached to the tag with staples.

Wings ATCs

The theme for PaperPlays January ATC swap is Wings.
Here are the ATCs that I made for the swap.

I used Grunge Paste and a Finnabair stencil on my painted ATC, when the grunge paste was dry I went over the embossed area with some emerald Treasure Gold.
I stamped the Stampotique large bee onto white card, cut out the wing section and covered them with some stickles.
I punched out the head of a Stampotique image with a circle punch and adhered it to the inside of a bottle cap, then I covered it with Glossy Accents. I adhered the bottle cap and wings to my ATC and added the Creative Expressions sentiment.
I'm entering this ATC in the Stampotique Designers Challenge Winged Things.

I coloured some card with Distress ink directly to the card and stamped the Stampers Anonymous birds then I embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I went over the raised areas with some Treasure Gold.
I adhered some sticky backed aluminium to some card and stamped the Chocolate Baroque bird onto it with Stazon. I embossed some of the pattern and then cut it out. I covered the bird with black acrylic paint and then wiped most of it away. I adhered the bird onto the card.

The background was coloured with Distress ink. I stamped the Stampotique large bee onto the ATC and onto some white card.
I used a stencil to make the pattern and then stamped the Stampotique tiny bees.
I went round the edges with black soot using my finger.
I coloured the bee that was stamped onto white card and cut it out, then I covered the wings with stickles, then I adhered it over the image on the ATC cutting of the bits that hung over the edge of the ATC.

Butterfly ATCs.

I chose the theme for the June Paperplay ATC swap and Butterflies is what I chose.

All three ATCs are the same except that I used different colours.
The backgrounds are coloured with Distress inks.
I stamped the Crafty Individuals image twice and cut out the butterfly from one of the images to embellish the ATC.
I embossed Frantage powder round the edge - some of it blew into the centre.

Pretty In Pink

Pink is the theme for the Paperplay April ATC swap. I don't usually like pink but I do like the picked raspberry Distress ink.

Background bubblegum pink Dylusions and PaperArtsy script stamp. For the image background I used picked raspberry Distress ink direct to the card and splattered with water, then I matted it onto black card. I stamped the PaperArtsy image twice and cut the flowers out of one and adhered them to the other image. I added ribbon and some gems.

I used the same inks for this ATC. All the stamps are PaperArtsy. I coloured the cat with Promarkers and coloured the stripes with a glitter pen

Again I used the same inks. The main image is a Paperbag studios stamp, I stamped it with picked raspberry and added some beads to the centre. I used a versamark pen and embossed some blush Print Magic Powder around the edge.

Don't Mess With The Queen

I'd like to  share with you the ATCs that I made for the Paperplay  January ATC swap.

The backgrounds are some that I made a while ago. I stamped the image onto the ATC and also onto some white card. I coloured the second image leaving the face white then I fussy cut it and adhered it over the image on the ATC. I embellished it with pearls. I stamped the saying and cut the words out before adhering to the ATCs.

PaperArtsy/Lynne Perrella for the image.
Stampers Anonymous/Wendy Vecchi for the saying.

A Splash Of Colour

My first scheduled post while I'm in Ireland is some ATCs that I've made for the Paperplay August ATC swap. The theme is a splash of colour.

For the background I splatted some wild honey and worn lipstick Distress stain onto some white card and coloured the edges with vintage photo Distress ink then I stamped the PaperArtsy image. I stamped and cut out the PaperArtsy cotton reel and wrapped some coloured thread round them and I added some buttons.

Distressed Summer/Nature ATCs

Distressed Summer/Nature is the theme for the July Paperplay group ATC swap.
The backgrounds for my ATCs were inked up ages ago and I can't remember what inks and colours I used.

Dragonfly ATC. I stamped ferns [unknown] on the ATC and stamped flowers [ Stamp Bug] with acrylic paint, I also used a crackle stamp [Tattered Angels]. I used a Dreamweaver dragonfly brass stencil with some Dreamweaver Crackle Embossing Paste. I was going to put some colour on the dragonfly when it dried, but decided to leave it as I liked the way the wet paste had soaked up some of the background colour. I edged the ATC with stormy sky Distress ink.
Fern ATC. This was made exactly the same way as the dragonfly except that I used a Crafters Workshop fern stencil and I added a small leaf charm.

Bumble Bee ATC. I stamped the small bee [Stampotique] onto the ATC and scraped some acrylic paint over it. When the paint was dry I stamped the sequin waste [The Artistic Stamper] with spiced marmalade Distress ink. The large Bee [Stampotique] was stamped onto white card and coloured with the spiced marmalade. After I cut it out I added Stickles to the wings and adhered it to the ATC.

Rose ATC. The background stamps that I used are by The Stamp Bug and Tattered Angels. I used a Dreamweaver Rose brass stencil with the Dreamweaver Crackle Embossing Paste. I embellished it with a Tando Creative mini butterfly embossed with Frantage shabby pink embossing enamel.

I'm entering my ATCs in the Simon Says Stamp and Show No Rules challenge.

Face ATCs

Last month the Paperplay group had an ATC swap and the theme was Faces, these are the ATCs that I made.

 

The stamp that I used was a freebie from the Craft Stamper magazine and I coloured them with felt tip pens. I matted the images onto some gold card and cut it at odd angles. For the background I used card that I'd coloured ages ago. I also used some paper that was free in a magazine and the words are from the same free paper.
