A kraft tag full of colours

Hello and welcome, Anita from the Design Team here today to show you a tag I made.

I did this tag just because I want to experiment with my new toys, Distress Oxide. I am SO in love with the Oxide! You can use them in so many ways and the result is absolutely brilliant every time. I've used them even to stamp with and the image is so nice and powerful and creamy.

So here is the tag: 


I started with a kraft tag and my new toys

I smeared some ink down on my craft mat and sprayed with water, then I used my paint brush and make some splatters. I took one and a colour and dried between so the colour not smear together and made mud


I stamped make art and free yourself with Distress Oxide on kraft card stock and cut them out

 I stamped the paint tubes with Distress Oxide on a black tag

I used the Distress Ink Valnut stains around the edges on the tag



 I stamped the giraffe with Distress Oxide, cut him out and glued him down

 I used glue pads to glue down the black tag and I used coffee soaked cloth behind it



I'm very satisfied with the result and I hope I inspired you to play with colours and stamps, it is very relaxing.


All the stamps I've used on this project you can find in Rubber Dance's online store.

Thank you for visiting!

Hugs, Anita

This is lovely. I had decided I wasn't going to buy these cos I am happy with my distress inks and how many ink pads does one girl need? Unfortunately I've seen a few demo's of these and am coming to the conclusion that maybe a girl may need a few more ink pads LOL. I love how the colours show on the kraft and black. The paint tubes look lovely pastel against the black and giraffe looks very happy against the splatter background. Thanks for this great project and tutorial. Hugz

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...

CASology Week #202: Masculine (card by Bibi)

Image
Hello everyone! Bibi here today to show you a card I've made for the challenge at CASology, where the theme this week is to make a masculine card. "Heeeelp!", was my first reaction when I saw what their theme was, as I think it's really difficult to make cards for men! In addition, it must of course be CAS (= Clean And Simple), so I really had to step outside of my comfort zone....., but that's the point of a good challenge, isn't it? :-) Anyway, it was a post by  DT Kristiina  (on our Scandinavian blog ) that came to my rescue! If you haven't seen her post , you really should! The text is in Swedish, but there are lots of awesome project photos that speak for themselves. Kristiina had used stamped letters as the only "images" on her cards and I was very impressed by what she made, so I took out my Alphabet Uno stamps  (same as Kristiina had used), and what do you know - they spoke to me right away! Thank you, Kristiina! :-D And here...
