Autumnal Mixed Media Tags with Gelli Printed Backgrounds

Hi everyone!

Susanne writing today! I am sharing two mixed media tags with the cute Snazzy Squirrel and the cool Funny Fungi.

 

I started with gelli printed backgrounds and added more texture by stamping some autumnal leaves from the I Love Leaves stamp set in different colours.
The main images are coloured with coloured pencils, fussy cut and adhered to the tags. Finally I put the sentiments on top, which were cut with the Tim Holtz word block dies from Sizzix. I used left over papers that matched my background.



Thank you for stopping by today!
xx Susanne.


Supplies:
Rubber Dance Stamps:

Others:
Tim Holtz Word Block Dies (Sizzix)
Gelli Plate
Brushos
White Acrylic Paint

Coloured Pencils

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop: ...

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...
