Oldie but Goodie

Hello Again Everyone!

Today I want to share a Tag that I created for the

 Stampotique Originals Designers Challenge

"Oldie But Goodie"

Stamps Used:

Connie Shows off her Nails

Teddy

Sometimes I pretend

To create the background of this tag I used a variety of distress oxide inks along with one of my layering stencils.  (I love how it came out!)

The forground was  created in a few steps.... First, I stamped Connie direct to the tag (so any areas I miss when doing my fussy cutting will show up)

Second, I stamped her on cardstock and I stamped her arm I wanted to hold the bear an additional time. I also stamped the Teddy on cardstock. I colored all of these pieces then cut them out.

I glued down my main image of Connie, then I stamped the Teddy directly over the bear directly over this (Don't worry about the ear showing up on the hand... thats What the bonus arm was for... lol)

Now you can glue down your Teddy, and the arm. 

To finish the piece off I used a black micron pen to draw some shadows at her feet and a squiggly border around the edge. 

Thank You for stopping by my blog! 

I hope you join the challenge too!! 

All part of the plan...

Hello Again!

Today I want to share a fun, and sort of inspirational tag I created...

To Start I began with 2 of my new distress oxide inks (Broken China and Faded Jeans), as well and my original distress ink in Walnut stain. I layered the 2 blues on the tag and flicked a few water droplets to create the drop effect.

 (After I edged the tag in the walnut stain and added a few more flicks of water)

I also used some punchinella waste as a stencil for some light detail

Using StaZon black ink I stamped my gas mask guy (Man in gas mask).

To add detail I used a bit of corrugated cardboard, and some gear die cuts that I had "rusted" using Prima rust effect paste. (I blame Corrie for my purchasing this amazing stuff). 

Finally I added a Tim Holtz small talk quote layered on black. 

I hove how this piece came out, I hope you do also! 

Thank you for stopping by the blog today <3
