Fat Pages

I had a little play today and made these five fat pages. Fat pages are 4" x 4" squares. The photo isn't very good as it's been dark and raining all day.

But each of the pages has a quote or some kind of script so I'm entering them into the PaperArtsy challenge.

T!m's May Tag

Over on T!m's blog he's been playing with rub ons and stains to create his May tag.  You can find out how he did it here.  This is my version of what he did!!

I decided to do exactly the same thing again, only this time I used the distress inks.  And unfortunately I didn't put the main image quite as far across as I did the first time, so when I came to attach the ribbon film, it basically covered the face, so with a little re-arranging, it came out like this!!

And here are the two side by side, left is the inks, right is the stains.  To me the inked one looks a little more blockier than the stains one, but then they are liquid stains!!  

First Post of 2013

Happy New Year to you all, hope you had a good one.

Well my first post of the new year could only really be a tag couldn't it!!!

T!m's on the ball with his first tag of 2013, so whilst I'm still off I thought I'd give it a go been as I have most of the supplies and I'm going to be busy from January to June with finishing a college course I started in 2010.

I actually made 2 tags, I used exactly the same colour inks / stains etc for both but thought it would be quite nice to see what they would look like on both manilla and kraft tags.

This is the manilla (the yellowy coloured tag).

And this is the kraft tag which is more of a browny colour.

For some reason my 3rd walnut stain distress stain has gone green, hence the colour of the ribbon!!  Tried weathered wood but it didn't show up that well.

Another Textured Tag

Can you tell I mixed up way too much texture paste and puff paint!!

This time I covered the whole tag with white fire liquid leaf.

I rubbed over the whole of the tag with onyxite treasure gold.

The finished tag.

Liquid Leaf Stampotique Tag

The puff paint and texture paste has really taken well on this tag.

It's been coloured with white fire liquid leaf.

I coloured the other side of the tag with pewter lumiere paint.

A close up.

Stampotique Moth Fab image added from a previous sample using distress ink markers.  Also added a tattered flower, again another previous sample, together with a piece of TH film strip ribbon and a mini arrow.

Timmy tag

Oooh I love T!m's tag for September so I just had to have a go.  I don't have the typewriter so I had to improvise!!!  

Artful Times - Challenge 10

Von chose Mona Lisa as this weeks Artful Times challenge theme.  I made an atc using my Cherry Pie - Da Vinci - Woman plate of stamps.  I stamped in black archival and coloured the images with TH distress ink markers.  I used mustard seed, spiced marmalade, peeled paint, bundled sage and tumbled glass.  I mounted the main image onto black card, attached a piece of film strip with a couple of eyelets, mounted again onto white card and another piece of black.  The jigsaw piece was cut out and mounted with 3d foam.


Hop along to the blog and see what Neet and Von have made.  Please feel free to join. Don't forget to link your entry up to Mr Linky.

12 Days of T!m Tags

Well I have to admit that this year I'm a tad disappointed with the 12 days tags.  I only got inspired on day 7, but don't have any of that stamp set.  Then day 8 came along and 'wow', that got my creative juices following.  So here is my effort and as you can see, I decided not to go along with the Christmas theme.  I really enjoyed making it though.
