step by step tutorial - TAG


Hello there, happy Sunday !
I would like to present you my first step by step tutorial, it took some times to put pictures together but I think the instructions are  clear and easy to follow.  
step by step tutorial below:



You need:
-watercolor card
- brusho powders ( I used Yellow, Lemon, Orange and Leaf Green)
- big background stamp ( by imagination Craft)
- grey or black ink ( I used versafine)
- distress ink
- gold paint ( I used a starlight paint by Imagination Crafts)
- bauble stencil and stippling brush ( or sponge)
- black card for matting, ribbon ( optional) and double sided adhesive tape 


     Step 1: use watercolor paper and brusho powders in desired colours.
TIP: if you don’t have a watercolor card you can use regular card, brusho powder won’t ‘move around’ as on watercolor card but you still get an unique design.








   Step 2: sprinkle brusho powder onto the card










Step 3: spray the water onto the card











Step 4: keep adding water until you get the design want











Step 5: add a different  brusho powder ( optional)












Step 6: dried design will look a bit different from wet one. TIP: always work on bigger card than you need for your project, you can then cut out the piece of card you like.










Step 7: Cut the tag shape, simple cut the two top corners off. Stamp the side of the tag with big background stamp. TIP: you can use small stamps if you don’t have a one big stamp, I used grey ink as I did not want the sharp look. If you want the words to stand out a bit more use a black ink.

Step 8: I used a matching distress ink to create faded bauble pattern, the more random the better J










Step 9: Using the same bauble stencil I used gold starlight paint in random places again. Stippling brush is the best to use but if you don’t have one use a makeup sponge.










Step 10: use the same distress ink on edges










step 11: stamp the desired words on the separate card.  TIP: you can use any words stamp. Using single letter stamps allow to stamp any word you need.









Step 12: mat the tag on the black card and add cut out words












                                                   Add the ribbon if desired


Hope you enjoy my step by step tutorial.

Happy crafting to you all...

DT samples 'For the love of stamps'

Hello everyobe and happy new year,

I just want to share with you some of the latest DT samples I made for today's launch of Hunkydory stamps.

There are on special offer on C&C now so it is the best time to get them.







Firstly cards with cross... my favorite from this collection. This one is stamped and coloured, matted on gold mirri cards.




My second cross is on the craft card. I stamped cross and used gold embossing powder. I coloured the cross with gold mica powder.
I love this card...
This card is butterfly card. I used distress inks to create the background and stamped with black ink.
 

Another butterfly card, this time on the craft card. 

Happy crafting, 
Kasia
