Alpha Tags W and X

Next two tags in the series!

W is for Wild.


I used stamps from Wild Meadow set and the bird from Wise Owl.
Brayered the background with DI's.

X is for Xmas Candle

I know it's cheating, but it was a difficult letter!
Stamp is from Grab bag, but it's in the Christmas Angel of Light set.
Coloured with Promarkers and Tumbled Glass DI around the edge.

Alphatags

 Time for the next Alphatags!

O is for Oak Tree (and Oval)

(Not sure if this is an Oak tree, but was all I could think of!)


I masked off half my card and brayered various DI's to create the background. Stamped the little tree from Teeny Weeny Meadow. Turned cardstock around and masked the image and repeated colours etc.  To make a reflection of my tree I stamped the image onto an acrylic block and then used this to stamp onto the card! This way you get a slightly distressed image which is great for water scenes.
Cut image out with oval die cut and backed with oval scallop.
Covered tag with paper from Essence of Nature CD.






P is for Peacock.


The stamps are from Peacock Glory set, but I only have these two from a stash bag a few years ago.

I stamped the Peacock and used Cosmic Shimmer Malachite Fire EP, coloured the image with Cosmic Shimmer watercolours. I then masked the Peacock and stamped with the feathers and embossed with gold. Added DI and sprayed with water mixed with Memento Re-inkers and mica.







Hope its not so long before I post again!

Chocolate Baroque Alphatags - H and I

Chocolate Baroque Alphatags

Just a quick post from me today as not been feeling too good - rotten virus. Sure I'll feel better in time to go back to work next week tho!



This is my tag for H - Hoot.

I stamped the Owl from Chocolate Baroque "Wise Owl" with VersaMark and Black EP. Painted with Cosmic Shimmers.
Distressed around the edges with DI Weathered Wood and China Blue. Added a frame of the small feather from the same set. Cut out some feathers for a bit of interest at the bottom and die cut the letters.

This is my tag for I - Imagine

Totally inspired by a Michelle Zindorf card!
Made a moon mask. Brayered Adirondack Stonewashed and Denim top and bottom, made a horizon with post its and sponged more Denim. Removed the mask and stamped foliage from Chocolate Baroque Wild Meadow. Die cut a tag from shrink plastic, stamped Imagine from Artistic Expressions with StazOn.

Making me think of holidays!!



See you soon,

Yet another Bah Humbug!

My last card for the Bah Humbug challenge Things that Fly.

This time I brayered Adirondack cranberry, denim and eggplant onto glossy card remembering to mask off a moon shape and hills.  I then stamped the Santa image (See D's) and the trees (Hobby Art) with archival ink.  I then layered onto black glossy card and then white cardstock.  Sentiment is printed on the computer.
