New theme called Photo Booth - Brenda

This is the third tag that I made for Di's December outing to Hochanda and I just had to save it to share this week as it fits the theme perfectly. This week we are sharing projects with a photo on it ....

.... and I dug into my own collection of vintage cabinet cards to find this one.

If you have seen some of my work you will know I love vintage and mixed media and I often combine the two in my projects.

I also used one of the new long stencils that go with these cover tags and fit them perfectly. The circle design and crackle paint look fabulous together.

If you would like to see more details you can find a step by step and more photos over at Bumblebees and Butterflies.

I can't wait to see how my teamies have interpreted the theme this week, so keep popping back to see what they have been making as well.

Thanks for stopping by.

Anything Goes Week - Face your Fears by Nikki K.

Good morning,

Hope you are having a good week.

Today I am sharing a tag I made in monochrome colours, which is unusual for me, but I loved how this one turned out, and have done some more since.

I put some modelling paste through a stencil, and then painted the whole tag in grey.  White Antiquing Cream was added over the top, and wiped back.

I added some stamping with a background stamp of my choice, you could use any.

I put some modelling paste on to the feathers, and painted them black.  The words were stamped in Archival onto textured card, distressed at the edges, and cut and added to the tag.  The whole tag was edged in Distress ink.

A 'washer' was rusted with paint and added to the hole, and a nice piece of rough ribbon threaded through.

Hope you like it, don't forget to check out the rest of the team's work this week. x

Best Wishes,

Nikki K.

Anything goes week- Dream Tag by Monika

Good mornig all,

It's 'anything goes' week on so I have decided to show you one of my latest tags that I have made for Tando show at Hochanda tv today.

 

I'm using size 8 Tando Tag  for this project. Using Prussian Blue Media Fluid Acrylic I have painted the background, straight on the greyboard. I have applied one coat in the middle section, and two coats on the top and bottom of my tag.

I have splattered  watered down White Chalky Finish Paint across the tag to create the stars. Next step was to heat emboss the stamped images of the trees and moon, once cooled I have added a light wash with white paint.

I have also mixed some Prussian Blue paint with white chalky paint and dyed the ribbon and Andy Skinner greyboard 'dream' plate.

I hope you have enjoyed this very simple tag inspiration today.

Don't forget to watch Di at Hochanda today to see all of the new amazing products. 

See you next time

The Raven by Hannah Oxberry

With the theme being "Dark & Moody" I decided to take inspiration from the famous poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.

I have used one of the brand new Mini Books Di will be bringing to her next Hochanda show. The fold out and contain lots of space to work in.

The front of the book cover has been decorated in a range of washes to give a dark and mysterious feel, while stamps of clock dials and script writing add another layer. The raven is stamped and heat embossed on deli paper and positioned next to printed text from the poem. A length of grey lace secures the book.

I have continued the last paragraph of the poem through the panels of the book, each featuring the same grungy layers as on the front cover.

For a full step by step please visit my blog that can be found here.

Thank you!

Dark and Moody with Fiona.

 

Good morning Fiona Here. This weeks theme is Dark and Moody a theme right up my street. Now I would normally go down the skull/Ravens/ Gothic theme but I have took a break from that and gone in a completely different direction but still with a Dark and Moody feel to the project.

 

 

I started with a size 9 Tando Grey Board tag and created my background with a new technique that I have playing around with using Carbon Black and Titan Buff Fluid Acrylics. This was then given a coat of  Ultra Matte Varnish to seal. I cut a piece of Tando Grey Board to make a topper for the tag and gave it a coat of Tinting base. I then mixed a little Raw Umber fluid acrylic into Titan Buff Fluid Acrylic  and applied to the topper. Once dry I stamped with Black Versafine Ink the gothic text butterfly image from Chocolate Baroque's Butterfly Poppy Collage stamp set. I then stamped the image again and cut out the Butterfly colured with watered down Paynes Grey Fluid Acrylic and the mounted onto the main stamped image to give a feel of movement. The edges were then distressed and mounted onto to the tag base. The quote was then computer generated and printed onto a piece of heavy cardstock which had been painted with the Raw Umber Titan Buff mix, edged in black versafine ink and then mounted onto the tag to finish.

Something different from me but I think I captured the Dark and Moody feel to the project.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Fiona.
