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!

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.

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?

Recipe tag Week 7

Still catching up...
I do love the stamp, it is so 'complete' that very little needs to be done to finish a piece, and here is no exception. The background is sponged with distress inks (the old ones, I have not bought any of the new ones yet!) and I have gone over the text with a Sakura glitter pen. The brad is a Papermania do-it-yourself with music from a Visible Image background stamp. I tried the plastic domes on top of the brad but the Versafine ink started bleeding into the adhesive; the plastic dome peeled off very easily though and Diamond Glaze did the trick.

Week 8 - Black, Metal and Arrows

Well, it seems like ages since I posted anything, and we have so many new members, and to save lots of posts ..... can I just say welcome to you all.

I think, that it is Week 8, but could be wrong, any hoo the challenge was:

• Black
• Metal
• Arrows

and this is what I came up, not the best quality video showing it, but I will be back later with a video of making the whole thing.

Sorry about the quality I was trying to be super quiet as the kids were asleep, and had only just woken up.....

Week 8....Black arrow, text is a 7 Gypsies stamp and a metal brad

Here's week 7... Black Flying birds from Zettiology, trees Hero Arts... metal chicken wire

Weeks 7 and 8

Well these have come out the wrong way round but Week 7 is a cider can, heated over the gas flame then embossed. Added a stamped bird, grungeboard swirls and crown.

Top tag is Week 8, painted silver and a "metal" eyelet in the "black" wheel with a stamped and a grungeboard "arrow"! There, all caught up!
