Stormy Night Journal Page

Good morning everyone!  Today, I have a stormy journal page to share with you made with a bunch of Technique Junkies Stamps.  Yeah, it's kind of a tribute to Snoopy, who kept trying to write a book.  He always started with "It was a dark and stormy night".  So here's my take on it:

The journal page is watercolor paper, so I misted it lightly with water and then sprayed on Art Anthology Marlin, Sandcastle, and Plush Colorations.  Once that dried, I stamped the background using the Technique Junkies Wasted stamp and Sepia ink.

Next, I stamped the typewriter from the Technique Junkies Just My Type stamp set onto a piece of mixed media paper using Versifine Ink.  I cut that out and adhered it to my page.  Next, I stamped "dark and stormy night" from the Just My Type set directly onto the page with Versifine ink.

I then stamped Dark, Stormy, Night using the Technique Junkies Almano Upper and Lower Alphabet with Numbers set and Versifine Ink.  Lastly, I went around the edges with a black Pitt Big Brush Pen.

I love this page and hope the recipient does also (it's for a swap).

Until later........................

Christmas Ball Jar Tag

Good morning everyone!  I have another Technique Junkies project for your today.  Christmas is right around the corner and I wanted to celebrate that fact by creating a Christmas-y tag.  My husband always loves finding homemade jams and jellies, most of which are packaged in Ball jars.  That was the inspiration for this tag:

I stamped Vortex and then embossed it with Faded Jeans Distress Embossing Powder.  I then sprayed the tag with Art Anthology Rustic Colorations.  The embossing acts as a resist.  I then stamped the jar from the Incrediball Canning Jar Set and stamped on of the labels from the Incrediball Labels in the center.

Next I painted the jar with Art Anthology Ferrari Sorbet to mimic strawberry jam.  I tied a piece of green fiber around the top and then popped it on my tag using foam squares.  I then stamped Merry Christmas on a piece of mixed media paper, sprayed with Granny Smith Colorations, blotted, and then filled in the words with green Stickles.  I also outlined my tag with green Stickles.

Finally, I tied a piece of red fiber into a box at the top.  Easy peasy!

Until later.................................

I saw this shoe and just had to make a tag with it.  The stamp is Love My Shoes and it's fabulous.

To start, I stamped the Love My Shoes directly on my tag.  I then stamped the image again on a sheet of copy paper and cut it out to use as a mask.  With the mask laid over the shoe, I then sprayed the tag with Art Anthology Colorations in Salmon and Siesta Key.

Next, I painted the shoe with Art Anthology Sorbet in Ferrari, Cayman, and Leaf and with Velvet in Tango and Lemon Tart.  I then dotted clear drying glitter glue all over the tag and sprinkled with Prills in Gourd-Jus and Berry Nice.

I then stamped Celebrate in Style with blue ink, cut it out, and sprayed it with Salmon Colorations.  I then adhered it to the tag.

To finish off the tag, I added some red and yellow fiber through the hole at the top.
