christmas tags

I guess I am inbetween a lot of different art directions - sweet, steampunk, mixed media and grunch - and playing with tags for de Stempelwinkel it shows

Have a great day

more bookmarks for christmas

And here we go with some more - just to prove you I have not been totally lazy :)

I plan to give them to my working collegues. Of course pink going to a lady, the green one going to a hobby airplane crafter and the yellow one to a collegue who - no matter the weather - makes a 40 min trip to work on his bike every day - twice a day.

Stamps used are from de Stempelwinkel, Artistic Outposte and Tim Holtz.

Off to make some more, XOXO

bookmarks

I refound some white bookmarks in my paperstash and thought these were great for additional christmas gifts. With the first 2 finished I show you my interpretation.
The cat one is for my mother for christmas (having 2 cats) and the other one was a Nikolaus gift for my daughter (loving all Japanese stuff at the moment). Some more are soon to follow, as the 3rd one is already drying.

Stamps used are from Stampendous (the cats) and Carabelle Studio

May you all have a great 2. Advent. XoXo

some christmas tags

A while ago a member of the Munich stamping group asked for our help and wanted us to make some christmas tags to be sold for charity reasons.
Here I show you my contribution

It was a lot of fun and made me use stamps I didn´t know I had (I know, I feel once again ashamed writing it down).

LOC challange: include a sentiment

Time for a new inspiration at LOC http://leftofcenterchallenges.blogspot.ca/

Sponsored by Ike's art (isn´t the bunny just cute)  I could not withstand to make one more blackhumoured project:

Stamps I used: de Stempelwinkel for the world clocks and Stop-sign; border: dylusions

ALWAYS use anything goes as long as your project can be classified as creepy, Steampunk, Halloween, Punk, Anime, Grungy, Goth, Dark, Horror. If not, you only have to include a sentiment. So let´s play together


Following Dylan Reavely on facebook is a great quote source - that´s one of them.
Hope I could bring a smile on your face. Have a happy day! XX

grungy tag

I hope you do not get bored by that stamp but he´s one of my fav.

RED for the Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog

You see right - seems January was my lucky day concerning DT and here I go with a tag for the Scrappy Frogs Challange. Come and join us here:

http://scrappyfrogschallenge.blogspot.de/

 

I used dylusion ink sprays and a stencil for the ghosting technique. Stamped this really cool guy (100 proof press) and "decoloured" him with bleach.

The rest was stamped seperately and cut out (de stempelwinkel).

another dylusion tag

 

I could not withstand to make another one. What do you think-did she make the right choice?

Like in good girls go to heaven, bad girls wherever they like....

a fun christmas tag

Don´t take it too seriously, I just had a lot of fun putting that tag together

 

I stenciled first the snowflakes with gesso, used my new gelatos and off it went with me

TIO challenge

I love creating tags, bigger than an atc, but not too big to take ages to get a great result.
The recipe for this challange was to use:

A Pinch of Greenery; some Buttons; and a Butterfly or two and of course a stamp

Legs and head from Teesha Moore, body from a magazine, trying out some of Tim Holtz background technics.

sunken ship

checking out my dashboard I have discovered a new challange here

http://fashionablestampingchallenges.cottagecrafts.ie/?p=3044

And while I am looking a bit like Rudolph the red nose due to a quiete nasty cold I made this tag with a nautic theme using some ghosting technic for the "ghost ship" in the background

The mermaid is from Suzie Blue.
