Time - Tag Tuesday

Sharing a  tag which I've made as part of a colour challenge.  The theme was black, white and add another colour.

My other colour I have added is red, in the form of 2 small red lacy hearts.  A piece of red card leftover from a project that I had heat embossed with a lacy stamp using black embossing powder and I then used my heart punch.  That's why crafters never throw anything away!

For my tags, I used my vintage bookmark dies by Tattered Lace and on one of the black tags I used a script embossing folder and rubbed a little cloud white versa magic ink over the raised areas of the tag to highlight the script.

I took a piece of sumi paper and stamped it with my script stamp by Timber Boutique and then heat embossed it with black embossing powder.

I stamped the fob watch stamp by IndigoBlu onto white card and added a crackle accent gloss by Ranger onto the centre dial. I also used the Love You Longer stamp by Visible Image.

I used black soot distress oxide ink to edge the rest of the tag as I put it together and found some black peel offs in my stash to form a chain for the fob watch.  I also added a few drops of glossy accent for interest .

Thank goodness for challenges and swaps because it's also a great excuse to get back to making those projects that you haven't done for a while. 

A rummage through your stash to accommodate a theme and then just going where the mood takes you and create....

This particular tag is destined for Tag Tuesday  and I've really enjoyed making this, another thing on my list to get back to doing.

Happy Crafting!

Tattered Lace Heavenly Hybrid Collection

Following the launch of the Tattered Lace Heavenly Hybrid Collection on Create and Craft TV, I'm sharing the samples that I made as part of the launch.

The dies I used from the collection were: - Vintage Bookmarks, Treasured Time, Mimosa Mouse, Vintage Hydrangea Square Frames, Hydrangea Infusion Mulk Jug, Hydrangea Sugar Bowl and matching charisma papers for the dies. Backing papers from cd rom & cardstock from the collection.

A mix of the Vintage Hydrangea Square Frames along with the Hydrangea milk and sugar bowl.  

The hydrangea flowers have been decoupaged to add dimension.

Using the  Tattered Lace Foundation Doilies from the Designer Vintage Collection with the Mimosa Mouse and Sugar Bowl. I used the flowers from the mouse to form the border around the card.

The Vintage Bookmark was my favourite from this collection simply because of its possibilities

I even used the smallest flower dies to make my embellishments on the tag.

I have used the Tattered Lace Designer Vintage Triangle Wrap die for the card shape to form the pocket for my tags. Adding the decoupaged Hydrangeas from the Hydrangea Square Frames dies.  I have also used the backing papers from the collection and here I have printed them onto sumi paper.

On the reverse, I have stamp some friendship sentiments.

I made this into a picture frame card using the peach charismas from the cd rom collection which have been printed onto vellum and decoupaged before being added to the acetate frame.

I have used a combination of vellum and card for the flowers and frame for the cover and although it is not clear in the picture, the wood grain patterned paper on the inside has been printed onto pearlescent paper.

These Hydrangeas are lovely, they have little dips in the dies to naturally push the little petals out on these flowers to give them a more natural shape and are not very fiddly to decoupage, which some flowers with small petals can be.  I have used the Vintage Bookmark as an easel card.

A neat little card  using the Vintage Bookmark and the Treasures Time dies.

Easy to snip into to make a well done in your studies card.

The charisma papers to match the dies shown can be downloaded for free directly from the Tattered Lace Website.
