Be An Individual

Hello, my dear crafty friends, this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, we have a "BIG STAMP" challenge - whether it is a background, large image, pattern, or maybe just a big stamp pad – this week is a ll about the big stamp.

I altered a large heart shaped wall hanging with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamp.

I started this project with cutting and pasting the patterned paper from Heidi Swapp Serendipity Cardstock Collection on the 10" chipboard heart and and stamped the sentiment with Tim Holtz Cling Stamp and Memento Ink Pad Tuxedo Black. .

The Tim Holtz Arrows Adornments Metal Charm, Prima Flowers and Say It in Crystals were attached on this project.

I loved this simple and beautiful result and hung this piece on the wall in my craft room. This wall hanging reminds me to amaze myself everyday and some how also reminds me "Did I miss something on this piece?" Yes.. probably a little bit of  mixed media elements.





 

 

I took this piece from the wall the redo the sentiment - applied the Gesso on the tissue wrap and stamped the sentiment on it. I also added some modeling paste for more texture and Color Shine on the background.  

 

 

Here is the final result and I love  it!  ^_^

Mixed Media Tags with Gelatos

Let's have fun at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, my dear crafty friends. Our DT member Tracy suggested “winged things” as the theme this week. Would you use a favorite bird stamp? Add fairy wings to something? Create a tag featuring a spring scene? accent a scrapbook page with butterflies? There are so many possibilities from airplanes to angel’s wings…



I created two mixed media tags with butterflies for this spring.
 

 

It is always so fun to create spring projects with flowers and butterflies. I cut two watercolor paper tags, and colored the background with Gelatos and water mixture. You can also use the pre cut #8 manila tag.

After pasting the cheese cloth with Gel Medium, I attached the Prima Flowers and some vintage trinkets on these two tags.

The printed sentiment was cut from the Cosmo Cricret stickers. The Tim Holtz Idea-ology Alpha Parts in Ransom were also attached on this tag.

 Love the beautiful colors of Gelatos and the great textures of modeling paste and cheese cloth.

 

The same techniques and similar products were used on my second tag.

I have a goal to make 100 simple and fun tags in 2014 as they are just like the smaller version of my art journal pages to record the colors and techniques I am having fun with. There are already 28 tags and these two tags will be the number 29 and 30. Love what I've completed so far.
