12 tags of 2015 november

This is my take on Tim's 12 tags of 2015 november

Used Salty Ocean paint on the background stamp for the resist and sprayed Fossilized Amber&Twisted Citron over it.
Sponged with Ground Espresso inkpad.
For the gold accents around the edges I first sprayed Tarnished Brass on my fingers, wiped a bit on the tag, then put gold paint over it with an old creditcard.

Also for DragonsDream Tag It On TIO #195 No. 1

Background made with Distress inkpad Squeezed Lemonade, Distress spray Tarnished Brass, Distress refill Seedless Preserves and water.

Faces stamped on twinchies cut out of a piece of paper made with gelli plate and acyllic paint.

12 tags of 2015 - july

Here is my take on Tim's tags of 2015 - july.

No 4th of july in The Netherlands, but the colours of our flag are red, white & blue, so I took those colours and I chose for the theme Da Vinci.

Just purchised the hickory smoke distress pad last week, so I am glad I can use it on this tag.

Still am not happy that the fired brick marker has a brownish colour, it is so different than the inkpad, but what can you do...
That's why the ribbon doesn't have that touch of red, but then again I could have used the festive berries (thought came in mind after I finished colouring).

Hold On Tight

Kathi is the hostess on Stampotique Designers Challenge this week and she's got attached.

SDC203; Use Attachers

I swiped my custom blend distress inkpad (tumbled glass/peacock feathers/faded jeans) over white cardstock as background.
'Attached' the boy & dog with a staple. Stapled some under the dog.
Attached some ribbon with staples and brads (they have been hiding in the craftroom for ages.....) and finished with some matching eyelets.
Really must use those more often, I have soooo many.


Kathi is our hostess this week and she's got attached:

Use attachers, the older the better.  Thinking of eyelets, brads, staples, etc.  Bonus points if someone uses all three.  Extra super bonus points if someone attaches Stampotique images to each other
