12 tags of 2015 - july

Here is my take on Tim's tags of 2015 - july.

No 4th of july in The Netherlands, but the colours of our flag are red, white & blue, so I took those colours and I chose for the theme Da Vinci.

Just purchised the hickory smoke distress pad last week, so I am glad I can use it on this tag.

Still am not happy that the fired brick marker has a brownish colour, it is so different than the inkpad, but what can you do...
That's why the ribbon doesn't have that touch of red, but then again I could have used the festive berries (thought came in mind after I finished colouring).

Hold On Tight

Kathi is the hostess on Stampotique Designers Challenge this week and she's got attached.

SDC203; Use Attachers

I swiped my custom blend distress inkpad (tumbled glass/peacock feathers/faded jeans) over white cardstock as background.
'Attached' the boy & dog with a staple. Stapled some under the dog.
Attached some ribbon with staples and brads (they have been hiding in the craftroom for ages.....) and finished with some matching eyelets.
Really must use those more often, I have soooo many.

Kathi is our hostess this week and she's got attached:

Use attachers, the older the better.  Thinking of eyelets, brads, staples, etc.  Bonus points if someone uses all three.  Extra super bonus points if someone attaches Stampotique images to each other

Ik heb -zoals gezien op het Art Specially Event -  Dylusions inkt (After Midnght & Vibrant Turquoise) op het craftsheet gesprayed en daar de stempel van de stoere jongen mee beïnkt.

Wel een paar keer afgedrukt voordat de print er goed uit kwam te zien, het was nogal aan de natte kant, tja, alles moet leren :-)

En route

Katzelkraft May Challenge : use the same stamp 3 times

Happy happy me, I won the April Challenge :-)

This is what I made for this months challenge:

Lost in the maze

Stampotique Designers Challenge SDC194 : Stencils

Dropped several colours distress re-inker in some shaving cream  and wiped it through a stencil onto the paper.
Then gently wiped off the excess shaving cream.
Actually you should dab off the excess instead of wiping to avoid smearing, but I am as usual not patient enough :-)
But this one I think turned out quite nicely.

Your wings are ready

Then took a little bit purple Brusho, spritzed some water over and let dry.
Then sponged with archival magenta hue and distress dusty concord.
Stamped the images with archival black, and sponged some dusty concord on the bottom.
It looks like the tiny stars were glued on, but they are punched out before I glued the card on a white piece of cardstock (doesn't look white on the scan though).
Then I matted it all on purple cardstock.
