Cowboy Up

Good morning everyone.  Just taking the opportunity to share a couple of things I created with some Technique Junkies stamps.  They just released their new ones yesterday and lucky me, I have a few of them,

I created this ATC using Cowboy Boots, Howdy Partner, & Snakeskin, some Art Anthology Colorations, and some beading cord.

For the tag, I used Snakeskin, a little EP, some some wooden stars paint with Metallique paint, & some twine.

Lastly, not cowboy related at all, is this PL-sized card I created using nothing but Row, black gesso, Lindy's Stamp Gang Mist, white EP, and a little white pigment spray.

Hope you enjoyed!  And as a tip, all of Technique Junkies new releases are on sale until the 8th for 15% off.

 Until later......................

At the Lake and Lock Up with Technique Junkies

Good morning everyone!  I have a couple of ATCs to share with you today that I created using Technique Junkies stamps.  I don't know what it is about ATCs but I just can't seem to get enough of them.

I started with a Bristol ATC and stamped Chain Link Fence using black Versafine ink.  I then embossed with clear EP.  I stamped the woman from The Rules onto a piece of mixed media paper, cut her out, and colored her with Art Anthology Colorations in Valentine, Glorious, Sandcastle, and Peacock Feathers, Art Anthology Velvet Portobello, and Metallique Gold Rush.  Next I stamped Lock Us Up onto a piece of mixed media paper, cut it out, wet it with water, then sprayed it with Art Anthology Glorious Colorations, edging it with washed tan ink.  

For this ATC, I once again started with a piece of Bristol paper.  I stamped Boom Boom Room with turquoise pigment ink and embossed with clear EP.  I then colored in the open boxes with Memento Potters Clay ink, a painbrush, and a little water to blend.  I stamped the anchor and sentiment from Better At The Lake Set of 5 and cut them out.  The anchor was painted with Metallique Silver Spoon mixed with glazing medium and Art Anthology Kona Velvet.  I then ran a black Micron pen around the edges.  I sprayed the sentiment with water to wet the paper and then misted with Art Anthology Siesta Key and blotted.  I edged it with Memento Desert Sand.

Well, that's all for today.  Stay tuned for more projects.  I post throughout the month.

Merry Christmas Santa

This is a project I did for Technique Junkies.  I wanted to create a Christmas tag since it's so close and I love these stamps.  In fact, this tag is being turned into an ornament and will hang on the Christmas tree where I work.

1)  Stamp Winter Foliage onto tag with a mixture of Tomato Sauce and Snowy Evergreen ink.  You can use a deep red and and a deep forest green if you don't have the exact colors.  Emboss with clear embossing powder.

2)  Stamp Father Christmas with Tomato Sauce and Snowy Evergreen.  Paint all white parts like the cuffs of his robe and the fur on his hat by dabbing Art Anthology Frost Sorbet. You want it to look fluffy.

3)  Paint the berries on the Winter Foliage with Art Anthology Ferrari Sorbet.  Dry well.

4)  Spray tag with Art Anthology Granny Smith and Avocado Colorations.  Dry slightly then wipe off excess.  The embossed areas and the areas painted with Ferrari will resist the spray.

5)  Stamp Merry Christmas 2 with black Versafine ink and emboss with green embossing powder.

6)  Adhere Santa and Merry Christmas to the tag.  Outline Santa with sparkly green ribbon.

7)  Top off with a wooden star that has been covered in silver glitter.

I hope you enjoyed today's tag.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Little B Blog Hop

Good morning everyone!  Welcome to the Little B blog hop.  I've got a couple of projects today to share with you that I created from the wonderful products Little B has.  Don't forget to enter at the bottom of the page for a wonderful giveaway Little B is having in conjunction with this hop!

For this canvas, I started by spraying the background with Patience and Peacock Feathers by Art Anthology.  I then added the second largest label from Little B's Label Die Set, which I cut out of coordinating paper.  Over that, I added a birthday cake I stamped using a Technique Junkies stamps, colored, and cut out.  Next I die cut Let's Eat Cake from the Little B Sentiment Die Set, sprayed it with Peacock Feathers, and added it to the top left.  For the bottom, I used Little B's Birthday Gift Dimensional Stickers.  I edged the canvas with Little B Gold Foil Harlequin Tape.  Finally, I randomly placed the stars from the Birthday Gift Stickers.

I then decided to create a really quick ATC.  I sprayed the background with Art Anthology Peacock Feathers and Grass to simulate the sky and ground.  Next, I added a sun by using Little B's Circle - 1.125 Punch and a piece of yellow cardstock.  The floral border at the bottom was created using their Daisy Floral Border Punch.  I then cut out Hello from the Sentiments Die Set, sprayed it with several coats of Art Anthology Waimea Bay and then added it to the center.  The entire ATC is edged using Little B Pastel Weave Tape.  Finally I added a butterfly from their Butterflies Dimensional Sticker Set and a bicycle from their Road Bikes Dimensional Sticker set.

Now for the giveaway!  To enter, you must "Like" the Little B Facebook page and comment on the everyone's blog post.  You get 2 points for each comments, so the more you comment, the better the chance to win!
