Monday Mixed Media Tag

Happy Monday Everyone! Hope you all had a nice weekend and enjoyed last night's Superbowl. Our New England Patriots didn't make it but I still watched it for the awesome commercials and halftime activities! I spent the weekend catching up on bills, getting my taxes ready to file and creating a bit. I made a card and a tag. My tag is a mixed media one and it was fun getting all painty again!
I'm entering my tag into Simon Says Stamp's Monday Challenge "Ray of Sunshine" featuring Dina Wakley products. Here's my tag ...

I used Ranger's watercolor paper for the background and the Scribbly Girl. I applied gesso to the tag, let it dry then sprayed the tag with water. I added Dina's paints to the wet background so the paints would move and blend like water colors. I applied some yellow to the upper left corner for some rays of sunshine and some glass beads. The crinkle ribbon was dragged into several colors of watered down paint.

The tissue tape adds some interest and grounds the girl. I splattered some Night to the background and added circles with the same color.

 

I'll be back tomorrow with my card. Hope you have a great day and I have listed the supplies used for my tag below. Thanks for stopping by!

A Winter Tag

Hey Everyone! Hope your all having a nice week! I want to share another project with January's Simon Says Stamp Card Kit. I have already created four cards with this awesome kit and I wanted to make a tag as well. You can see my cards here, here and here. As you may know, I LOVE creating tags - it's one my favorite formats. I also love dressing up Julie Nutting's Doll Stamps. Here's a tag combining those two loves.

 

 I adore the Doodlebug Design Polar Pal Stickers included in the kit - they are just way too cute. I added this cute seal to keep my girl company on her winter walk.

I added some Stampendous Shaved Ice for a touch of snowy glitter! I also applied glossy accents to her shoes. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's" Love you a Latte" Stamp Set.

I'm going to submit my tag to the current Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Best Friends.

 I have really enjoyed Simon Says Stamp card kit this month and I can't wait for February's kit to come! Have a great day!!

5 for 5 Holiday Blog Hop Event: Christmas | Day 4

I'm happy to say that the 5 for 5 Gang is back with another fun Blog Hop Event. Who is the 5 for 5 gang you ask? Well, we are 5 crafty friends getting together and creating 5 Holiday themed projects for 5 consecutive days. Our last Blog Event was for Thanksgiving 2015, and we are so excited to be back!! We have a blast creating projects for you and inspiring you to create along with us!! We use whatever we have in our stash and just have fun!

Welcome to Day 4 of our latest 5 for 5 Blog Hop Event. The event runs from December 7th to December 11th and is Christmas inspired.

 Each day of the event we create a project based on a theme. Today's theme is Tag! I knew what I wanted to create for this theme. I love the Prima Doll stamps and I wanted to create a wintery one. So, I gathered some papers from Lawn Fawn and "Valentina" a new to me Julie Nutting Prima Doll Stamp. The Lawn Fawn Petite Paper Packs I used are Snow Day and Peace Joy Love, both of which are retired. Here's my tag.  

 I decided she would hold a wreath so I created one out of Tim Holtz Pine Twine - love this twine!!

The sentiment is embossed with red embossing powder on a piece of vellum. The cuffs of her boots and the pom pom on her hat have liquid applique on them which puffs up once heated and looks like snow!

Please stop by and check out all the fun projects from the designers. Some of us are offering prizes so it's worth checking out the blogs below!

A Spooktacular Month

Happy October! I say this a lot, but time is flying by. This month is going to be super busy craft wise, so you'll be seeing lots from me on my blog! This month is a fun time to be creative with Halloween right around the creepy corner. It's freeing to just be silly and crazy when creating, using bright, bold colors that ordinarily may not be in your color palette. Stay tuned for some fun projects.

The first of every month brings a new challenge on the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge Blog. This month's challenge is based on a Spooktacular Word Search - find a word or words and incorporate them into your project. Easy, right?

I decided to create a tag and I incorporated several words from the word search into my project. Here's my tag ...

I recently purchased Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous "Undertaker" Stamp Set and couldn't wait to use it! I used some new Grumbacher acrylic paints and India Ink to create the background. Once dry, I used a Tim Holtz Shatter Stencil and dabbed white paint through the stencil to create a web effect.

I chose the larger of the two skulls that are included in this awesome stamp set. I stamped the image on mixed media paper and colored the face with Ranger's newest distress color "Wilted Violet". This purple color is PERFECT for Halloween projects. You will see me use this color alot this month!! I had fun with the undertaker's eyes using Idea-ology gumdrops and a mini gear to add interest.

Our guest designer this month is Alexandra Heine, a Grumbacher mixed media artist. Her project is stunning so stop by our blog to see her work!

Our sponsor this month is Grumbacher.

They generously gave the Design Team a few products to play with this month. Their acrylic paints are great and we also received a set of woodless colored pencils which I can't wait to experiment with. They are offering a prize this month so be sure to join us in our fun challenge for a chance to win - more details on the MMMC blog!

Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back with much more fun this month!!! Happy October!!
