I have to be quick with this one as Gingersnap Creations Random Redhead Challenge closes today. My scene was created using a Innovative Stamp Creations stamp on a background I made with Adirondack ink refills on a piece of matte photo paper.
Thank you for looking! Happy Sunday!
Here we go with the last tag for 2008 in our Christmas tag Adventure. I had every intention of making lots of tags and cards and being so prepared for Christmas 2011. It looks like I will be doing my usual frantic last minute production line again. Oh well at least I will have all of Tim's tags completed.
Check them out at Kathy's blog. To see all of the Christmas tags go to Tim's blog.
Thank you for looking!
The theme at DragonsDream this week is " winged things". I used a long grass stamp from Stampin Up. I embossed it with clear ep. and then ironed it after inking with Tim Holtz distress inks stormy sky and faded jeans. The dragonfly stamp is from Stamp It!. The Poem is a new one I got from Scrolls Work. The ribbon is from my stash. I colored the dragonfly and coated it with Ranger Matte Accents.
I never did get to the garden today. One thing led to another and you know how it goes. Before you know it the day is done. Thank you for looking!
Here is a birthday card I made for my neighbour who is a retired Home-Ec teacher. I have used paper and lace, ribbon and buttons and a bit of leather. The stamps are from Crafty Secrets and Stampin Up. I used a Tim Holtz tattered floral die and distress inks for making the flower. The theme at the Craft-Room for their first challenge is anything goes so that is where this card is going.
Thank you for looking!
At Just for Fun this week we are to use something Tim Holtz. I just got some new TH Visual Artistry stamps that I wanted to try out. The tickets are Graphic 45. The paper, distress inks and stamps are Tim's.
I have been busy in the garden this week - racing the weeds. All the irises are out. My favorite time in the garden. I hope you are having a great week!
Thank you for looking!
Okay maybe this week I can play. The roof is done and I quit my "maid" job. I made this tag while I was supposed to be making Birthday cards. Four of the women on my road (including me) have their birthdays in June. A lot of Gemini's. I am entering this in 3 places ; Grungy Monday we are to use distress inks; Simon Says Stamp and Show we are to make a tag ; and Just for Fun has the theme "With my little eye".
I used Tim's fabulous distress inks for my background and for stamping the words and leaves. I used archival black by Ranger for stamping the images. Face by Rubber Stampede, flowers by Stampin Up, Be, Swirl and Bee by See D. Wings and words are Tim Holtz. I used a gold gel pen to outline some of the images and it didn't scan the color it really is. C'est la vie.
Thank you for looking!
Only one more to go for 2008. I cheated with this one- using fragments I had already made. It is a simple one compared to many of the Christmas tags. I wish I had one of those splatter brushes. I have been using an old electric toothbrush. It works but not as good. Go to "Inkin' it Up" to see more.
Remember that leaky roof I told you about. Well it is finally getting replaced. Rick and some friends are doing it and I get to be the maid. I was even up there pulling the old nails yesterday and I have a big blister to prove it. Note to self - wear gloves when using a crowbar. We are finally getting some sunshine and warmer weather, at least for a few days. I will be happy when it is all done.
Thank you for looking!
