Distress and flick

Over at The Stampman Challenges this week it is 'Your Favourite Technique', well that's easy....after taking the Creative Chemistry 101 class my favourite is the distress and flick.  So I made a tag using this technique as a background and using the TH stamps I won on his course!!!

Only a quick post as my new Dylusions inks came today so I NEED to play!!!!!

Spring is here....well in my craft room at least

Well, that was some serious rain.....thank goodness we had a respite today though more is forecast, I do hope you are all ok.

To feel a bit more spring like (because, remember in the UK it is spring.....seriously!!) I thought I would make a bunting inspired tag which I mounted on a card.

 

The tag is distressed with DI splatted (technical term!) on a craft mat and mopped up with the tag.  I then stamped some script with white DI and added some more stamping, music score, postage stamp and a stamped bee with glossy accents added (doesn't really show up in the photo).  The flower trim is from the local haberdashery and I dyed it with colour wash to age it a bit. 

I am entering this into the Stamp Man Challenge for their shabby chic challenge which can be found  here.

Stamp Man Challenge Bingo

Check me out, more than one blog a week...!  I have finally cleared a small amount of space in the craft room which allows me to have my netbook up with me, which makes things a bit easier (but means my hubby see's even less of me now!...not sure if that is a good or bad thing!!)

I thought it was time to start entering some challenges again, over at the stampman page they are playing craft bingo.  They have a bingo card with various craft items and you choose a line and make something using all the items.

So here is mine, I have chosen the line with Green, Flowers and Swirls to make this tag.

 

I have coloured the tag with with green acrylic, added some TH tape along the right hand side, applied gesso through some waste packaging (with holes in) stamping swirls and flowers when dry.  I added a stamped ticket which I coloured with DI and finished with a flower brad and some green ribbon.

There are some great makes over at the Stampman challenge so feel free to pop over and be inspired.

Happy crafting
