This is my entry for this weeks challenge, instructions on my blog as usual !

Recipe tag week 18

I can't believe I'm first this week!

The tree is by Elusive images, and in the background of the Paper Artsy stamp you can see a pagoda which is a kind of house-ish... The stamped text (Paper Artsy) is sort of stripy.

The background is a mixture of Japanese origami paper and joss paper, and the whole merrily mixes Chinese and Japanese influence.

Here's mine for this week. Instructions on my blog tomorrow.

Here is my tag for the week. The (light)house is by Paper Artsy and has stripes, and I have embroidered the light beam. The fish is stamped on acetate and coloured on the reverse with nail polish. Background mask by Tim Holtz and the waves stamp came in an eBay job lot.

Rolling Recipe Tag 16

Here is my tag for Week 16. Instructions on my blog as usual.

Recipe tag: week 16

The flowers are from an Elusive Images set, stamped on acetate and coloured with Brilliance inks. The butterflies are from a Stampington Clearly Impressed set and the background swirls are from Visible Image and stamped in Brilliance Lightning black.

A few learnings from making this tag:

- if you are going to heat-set ink on acetate, check that your acetate is heat-resistant otherwise it will curl. Mind you, that gives a nice 3-D dimension to your flowers.

- if you are going to use solvent-based glue (like Bostik multi-purpose and I expect Uhu) on acetate, check that it does not dissolve the acetate first. Mind you, that does add to the nice 3-D dimension too.

- a dab of stickles can hide a multitude of sins

You have been warned :0)

Recipe Tag Challenge

The stripes are pieces from Amtico floor samples (no point having a friend with a flooring shop if you can't raid the samples every now & then) which have been stamped with Hero Arts' Florentine Scroll. The butterflies are from the Artistic Stamper designed by the lovely Hels on acetate with AI & tissue paper. They are only attached by their bodies so are very 3D but have been squashed by my scanner. The BG paper is K&Co with white pen highlights.

Tag 16

I've finally managed to complete one of these! Stripes - stripy paper overlaying the tag, this is held on just by the eyelet so it can be swung sideways to show more of the stamping and butterfly underneath. Stamped butterfly... don't know the make, sorry, and acetate - the butterfly has been stamped on acetate and cut out, covered with coloured 'gold leaf' foil on the back then heated with a heat gun to make the wings curl up. The washer at the top is acetate too and foiled wih the scraps which came off the butterfly.

Tag Challenge - Week 16

Rolling recipe tag: week 16

Wow. Its looks like I'm in first this week, although I have to add I am 15 weeks behind everyone else LOL

Recipe tag: week 15

Here is my take on this week's recipe.

The stamp is by Prima, coloured with watercolour pencils and Sakura clear glitter pen on the lady's dress.

The quote is by Inka, and I have inked the butterfly brads with Brilliance to make their wings looks stripy (how desperate can you get...)

Recipe tag week 14

After a bit of a false start, here is my offering for week 14.

I thought I would try out my new Cottage Cutz die, and here we are! The bird and birdhouse are stamped with Sizzix background stamps using Impress inks, and the alphabet stamps are from Craftycat.

The stripes are everywhere - in the background, the leaves and even the bird's wing.

The whole thing is glued with gel medium, and I remembered why you should use a solvent ink if you intend to slop water-based glue all over your stamped creations...

Rolling Recipe Tag Challenge - week 15

I used stamps by Elusive Images & Paperbag Studios, and Nick Bantock inks. My stripes are a bit subtle - they are on the socks!

Recipe Tag Week 15

AI stripes, butterfly stamp by Hampton Arts, text by Paper Artsy. The background leaves are from a grab bag.

Week 14

Here she is in all her stripeyness...... I'm sure that's not a proper word! She is from Zettiology and her 'wings' are Hero Arts leaves, there are gems on her crown.

This weeks tag for the challenge ! Instructions on my blog as usual.

Rolling Recipe Tag Challenge - week 14

Brayered background with kaleidacolor melon melody to create 'stripes', then swiped gesso over to mute the colours. Stamped the vine with cactus green stazon, and flowers with timber brown. Layered cut out flowers & leaves on top, with zoomz for the flower centres. Finished with some sari yarn.

Recipe Tag 14

Hard to get a good scan because of the metallic leaves which have AI on them. The printed paper has been stamped with various motifs. Text by PA

Recipe Tag: week 13

I'm on a roll - and up to date too!

The face stamp was bought on ebay a while back and coloured with chalks as I wanted a soft effect. The quote is by Cloud Nine and the leaves are puched and glued as a wreath (together with a few gems) with gel medium. The background is handmade paper with inlaid leaves which I have had for years.

...and just in case you had not noticed, unlike Sid's, this tag is very green!

Recipe tag: week 12

Still catching up...

Here is my offering for week 12 (face, eggs and gems).

Not very easter-like but I have had this Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers stamp for ages (from a mixed bag in their closing down sale) and this is the occasion to use it! I coloured the tag with Impress inks, stamped the egg box with Archival and lightly painted the eggs with gesso.

The face is Mona Lisa, bought on ebay. The text is gemmed up with tiny crystals.

Did you say I was cracked?

The face stamp is from a Stampattack Twenties set, the square-ish borders are from a Klimt set from Tanda and the magnifying glass is by Clarity.
