Tag: Faces

The current prompt over on Tag Tuesday is Faces so I decided to join in with this tag.

In The Pink: A Tag

 The current prompt over on Tag Tuesday is In the Pink.  I thought this one qualified.

I started by adding a blending mat copy paper mop up sheet to a #8 manilla tag. 

I then blended Blaze ink through the Garden Heart stencil, moving the stencil around until the whole of the tag was covered.

Next, I stamped the heart in Terracotta and the verse which comes with it in Dark Garnet Artistry ink. 

The heart background was painted in Blaze ink and a water brush.  I picked out the birds from the stencilled background, drawing around them with a fine liner and painted them in same way.

I love how the stencil complements the stamp set.

Seize the Day!!!

 I thought this tag would fit the bill for the latest prompt over on Tag Tuesday - New Beginnings.  Carpe Diem (Seize the day) seems a fitting aim for 2025.

I started by covering a #8 manilla tag with a piece of copy paper that I had used to clean my brayer off when creating a gelli print using Golden Hi Flow acrylic paints (see HERE).  The paper was sealed with matte gel medium, dried thoroughly and trimmed.

I stamped the Carpe Diem sentiment directly onto the tag using Majestic Blue Versafine ink and heat embossed in detail clear embossing powder.  I then used a blue Sakura PN micron pen to colour in the lettering.

I also stamped and heat embossed - this time in Onyx Black Versafine - one of the large stamps from the Hats 2 set by Clarity Crafts onto a separate piece of card.  This was coloured using my Kuretake Clean Colour pens, fussy cut and added to the tag.

To finish, I blended the Van Gogh Phthalo Blue Oil Pastel (Royal Talens) along the edges.  I will have to seal the tag otherwise the oil pastel will eventually rub off. 

Typical Winter Holiday Tag?

I associate robins with winter, so as the current challenge over on Tag Tuesday is Winter Holidays I thought this tag would fit - especially with the sentence reveals!

A Merry Christmas Tag

The latest prompt over on Tag Tuesday is Christmas so  I combined a Clarity die with their 2-way Christmas Wreath stamps to create this Christmas tag.

An Arty Alphabet Tag

The latest challenge over on Tag Tuesday is Use Alphabet Letters.  A minimum of three are required so I used them to spell Art for a quick tag.  

A Tag On A Tag

The latest prompt over on Tag Tuesday is Anything Goes, so I thought I'd share this tag on a tag using the Block Print designs by Clarity Crafts.

Rest In Peace - Or Pieces?

The latest challenge over on Tag Tuesday is Spooky Vibes. I thought this tag might fit the bill.

Cover a #8 manila tag with a gel print created with pink dye based ink on a gel plate with splashes of orange and red liquid Brushos. Trim the excess.

Stamp the solid jigsaw piece from Sam’s Shapes 1 in Carved Pumpkin Oxide in several places.

Stamp the outline over each solid jigsaw shape in Onyx Black Versafine ink and heat emboss with clear powder.

To finish, add two of the Halloween quote chips by Tim Holtz.

A Tag : Numbers (More Than One)

The current prompt over on Tag Tuesday is Numbers (more than one) - I thought this was a good response.

Cut a tag from Clarity stencil card using the largest nested arch tag die.

Blend Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide over the top half of the tag and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide over the bottom of the tag using foam tools.

Remove some of the colour using a damp paper towel through the A4 Dot Wave stencil from Claritystamp.

Using the Alphabet and Numbers Word Chain stamp set, add numbers in Mermaid Lagoon and Cobalt Blue Archival inks.

Tear a strip of white corrugated card, add it to the left hand side of the tag and shape the top to match the tag.

Drag the Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide lightly over the corrugated card.

Add Mermaid Lagoon Oxide around the edges of the corrugated card.

Make an envelope out of a piece of scrap Yupo paper from a previous project (see HERE).

Draw the template on the back. Fussy cut the envelope and score along the fold lines.

Add narrow tape to stick the envelope together.

Use tape to add the envelope to the tag.

Stick down the flap.

To finish, add three of Barbara’s word stickers.

Read!

 The latest prompt over on Tag Tuesday is School Days (fittingly enough).  I thought this tag would fit the bill.

I started by adding the top layer of a paper towel mop up sheet to a #8 manilla tag.  It was coloured with Lava Red, Peacock Green and Golden Mint Pixie Powders.  Before trimming, it was sealed with Distress Collage Medium and dried thoroughly.

I have only one sheet of the Tim Holtz Terminology Tissue Wrap left (sadly no longer available), so used only two tiny scraps to add some text to the tag (in the same way as the paper towel).

I stamped the individual owl from the Wise Owls stamp set by Clarity Crafts onto a piece of mixed media card using Onyx Black Versafine ink, added the separate mortar board, and heat embossed the whole thing with detail clear embossing powder.  He was coloured using the Flesh Colour and Beige Kuretake Clean Colour Pens and the Sepia and Dark Ochre Ecoline pens.  Before he was glued down, the separate tassel was stamped directly onto the tag in the appropriate place.

Finally, to give the owl something to stand on, I added the word 'read' using the Word Chain Alphabet, again stamped in Onyx Black directly onto the tag and heat embossed to match.

A Vintage Tag

The current challenge over on Tag Tuesday is Vintage and I thought this tag would fit the theme perfectly.

Summer Holiday Tag

The current challenge over on Tag Tuesday is Summer Holidays. I had the perfect tag using a piece of gelli plate clean up paper which made a great background.

A Celestial Tag

I found a fabulous inky mop up paper towel to create the background for this celestial tag - this fortnight's prompt on Tag Tuesday. 

Floral Tag

The current prompt over on Tag Tuesday is Flowers.  There are certainly plenty of stamps from Clarity Crafts to choose from to fulfil this prompt.  I went with Tina's Floral Poppy Spray.

I added book text to a #8 manilla tag to create a background. This was dried and trimmed.

Next, I stamped Tina’s Floral Poppy spray onto the tag in Nocturne Versafine Clair ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Laying the coordinating stencil over the top of the stamping, I added colour to the flowers and leaves with Distress Oxides (Candied Apple, Peeled Paint and Blueprint Sketch).

I then added a black pearl to the centre of each of the larger poppies.

I blended weathered Wood Distress ink around the image and the edges of the tag to create a vignette.

To finish, I added one of Barbara’s Feel Good Factor Stickers.

A Tag: Colours

The prompt this fortnight over on Tag Tuesday is Colours.  I love a combination of blues and greens so used them on this tag.

Cut a tag from Clarity stencil card using the largest nested arch tag die.

Blend Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide over the top half of the tag and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide over the bottom of the tag using foam tools.

Remove some of the colour using a damp paper towel through the A4 Dot Wave stencil from Claritystamp.

Using the Alphabet and Numbers Word Chain stamp set, add numbers in Mermaid Lagoon and Cobalt Blue Archival inks.

Tear a strip of white corrugated card, add it to the left hand side of the tag and shape the top to match the tag.

Drag the Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide lightly over the corrugated card.

Add Mermaid Lagoon Oxide around the edges of the corrugated card.
