Follow your art - a tag in blue, white and red

Hello my dear crafty friends, it's Anita from the Design Team here today to show you a tag I've made:

It is based in the January Rubber Dance challenge colours which are:



Here's the step by step of how I made this tag:
I used a #8 tag and coloured it with Distress Ink in two shades of blue.



Then some stencils and a baby wipe to remove some of the ink through the stencil.


Spritz with water for some bubble effects


Stamp with black Archival Ink



Black Soot Distress Ink around the edge and some drawing with a black pen



Watercolour paper and Ecoline watercolour paint


Stamp with red Archival Ink on top of the paint after it's dry to achieve a bit texture


Then stamp with black Archival Ink on top of that again


Use scissors and cut out the flowers. Colour the flower stalk with the black pen and glue them down on the tag with glue pad. I used a white gel pen to colour some dots on one of the flowers.


I glued some bling on one of the other flowers




Hope you feel inspired to join the Rubber Dance January Challenge. There is an awesome prize to win.


Rubber Dance stamps I've used on this tag are:



I wish you a fabulous and creative day!


Hugs, Anita
♥

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Image
Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English
