I was tempted by the Craft Stamper challenge this week. On the blog it say this
Take A Stamp An 'Anything Goes' Challenge, but your entry MUST include stamping! All the details, and lots of eye candy from the DT can be found HERE!
And the new That's Crafty challenge looks like fun. On their blog they say this
Our theme for this challenge is 'Tick Tock' and we would like to see anything relating to time please. This Challenge will run until 7.55am on Friday 29th January 2015. See the details HERE!
So with these in mind I sat in the craftroom with a coffee and the let the ideas grow. I chose to start with a large #10 Manila tag which I had used last week to clean my stencil.
I tore some Damask tissue paper and Chatsworth from Paper Artsy and stuck it to my tag
I sprayed greens and blues from Lyndy stamp gang spray paints and when dry used distress
stain sprays in the gaps. And as with so much of my art lately a quick spray of DecoArts spray acrylics in White.
I stencilled some clocks randomly to add another layer using Archival Ink in Potting Shed.
Next some text in the same Ink.
Once this was dry I added more clocks in Black Archival . The stamps are 1D08
from Paper Artsy and Take Time from IndigoBlu
That was my background! I needed something to stand out as a feature. I rummaged in my scrap basket and found some card that had been sprayed when I was just playing. On this I stamped a doll from Julie Nutting and then turned it round. I used some Plum Fesco Acrylic around the edges of the tag to warm it up a bit.
I used the clock stamp with cream versamarc on the doll stuck her down and then on the same paper wrote my sentiment in a white pen.
My finished tag
Thank for popping in. Don't forget to come back on Tuesday for start of the new challenge I'm hosting once a month.
Take care for now
