The Beautiful Miranda - An Altered Domino


I have used the smaller image of the Chapel Road plate on a domino, it is a lovely size for this.
I painted my domino white. applying the paint with a piece of cut and dry foam, once this was dry I stamped my image in achival ink. I painted the dress with blue paint, added stickles to the background and perfect pearls to the neckline. Added a small stamped quote and covered the whole thing with resin to seal it.

I used

Chaple Road Art Stamps - Mirand
Acrylic Paint
Cut and Dry Foam
Stickles
Perfect Pearls
Resin

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn



A very simple card today using some gorgeous and unusual stamps from Artistic Outpost starring Huckleberry Finn - a lovely bit of childhood reminiscence I think! I have used a very large card and simply stamped all of the images and text from the set in different shades of blue, making Huck the focal point.

Sounds like a Drag

infamous words sung by Rizzo in Grease.  Ideal for the title of this tag! The stamp is called Drag Queen and is from Lost Coast Designs

The tag is size 8 and began life with a coat of orange acrylic. I used cerise paint through a stencil/mask and sprayed through a normal alphabet stencil (that you can get from a stationers or a poundshop) The words in the corner are my minds eye


a little bit of ribbon and some beaded trim finish it off

Huckleberry Finn Tag Card By Carol Fox


I have made a tag card with my Dad in mind for Fathers Day tomorrow. Huck Finn is one of his favourite books and I thought being a tag it can double up as a bookmark when his done with standing it on the mantlepiece.
I used the Huck Finn set by Artistic Outpost. The main image is stamped onto water colour paper and coloured with a combination of Distress Markers and ink pads.
The background on the tag was done with copper paint and Broken China distress stain. All the stamping was done with Black archival ink.

Think and Wonder Card using Masks and Acrylic Paints


I made this card using a Gelli plate and acrylic paint background. Happy Daze have a great selection of masks you can use if you have a Gelli plate. Have a look here. I have used Artistic Outpost stamps from the Think and Wonder plate (the little Girl), Flower Market (the Butterflies), and Whimsical Melange (the frame).

Father's Day Tag

This week I've gone all masculine for Father's Day next Sunday.

I started with a size 8 tag, added a bit of torn text from a book. Then used Distress Stains to make a background. I added some acrylic paint through a mask for the next layer.
Then I did some stamping with Timber Brown Stazon with the 7gypsies venice set of stamps
 I stamped the steampunk balloon onto some white card with black archival, cut it out and coloured with watercolour pencils. Once dry I glued into position with some glue and seal 
Finally I edged the tag with some chalk ink and added a ribbon :-)

Have a great week
