Tags and minitags with Textured Flowers and Carved Collection #1 by Mariken

Image
Hi everyone,    Mariken here, with a tutorial for you,  making these tags and minitags from the left-overs.  I  used the Textured Flowers , Carved Collection #1 , Carved Collection #2 and the sentiments are from Mix a Sentiment #1 and Mix a Sentiment #2 I  made a some backgrounds with alcohol inks and my gelliplate. After putting the alcohol inks on the gelli plate I added a thin layer white acrylic paint with my brayer. I used the rainbows from  Carved Collection #1 to make some marks on the gelliplate.                       In this way I made a few prints in different colors. I made some tags from the gelliprints and used pieces with beautiful colors.  From the left-overs I made the little tags. I can't throw lovely paper away... With stamps from Carved Collection #2 I added some flowers and marks with black ink. I colored the flowers wit...

Easy Face-Lift. Just add water.

Image
Hi, everyone! It's Bibi here, and for our new blog's first REAL post I want to show you a fun and easy technique called Face-lifting. That's what I call it anyway, but I'm sure there are other names for it. This is a technique I use quite often and I have been asked whether I paint the face after stamping the image on a dark background. In a sense, I guess I do paint it ..... and it's really easy once you know the Super Secret Ingredient ... Here's an example: Stamps used: Lady with Stars and Milkyway Border from #CE1-L Celestial Images If you have tried this technique before, you know that the Super Secret Ingredient I use to "paint" the skin is ..... wait, I think I can hear a drumroll......water.

Face-lifting does work on other white ...

A Day to Celebrate + GIVEAWAY!

Image
Hello, dear stamping friends all over the world!  Bibi here today with  THREE things to celebrate! Today is the Norwegian National Day , which is celebrated with childrens' parades and marching bands all over  the country. The proper way to greet a Norwegian on May 17th is to say, "Gratulerer med dagen!" (Literally:  Congratulations with the day ). This photo is from a parade in Oslo: May 17th is also my mum's birthday and today she's turning 75! After watching the parades, we're celebrating mum's big day with family and friends at her place. I have always made birthday cards for mum using the colours of our flag (red, white and blue), but this year I did something different and I know she likes these colours, too. Background paper made with spray inks. The flower stamps are from  Antique Botanicals .  The Happy Birthday is a die from Quietfire Design , and I put two die cuts on top of one another - white under blue for contrast ag...
