Dragons Dream Tio challenge # 124 "in a heartbeat"

This fortnight it's the talented  Trace's turn to dream up a recipe for Dragons Dream Tio and she dreamed : "In a heartbeat" - a beating heart, a weathered timepiece, a bit of grunge , use at least one real stamp and it should be a tag.

The beating heart was the biggest problem but I solved that using a Smeared Ink digi called Deep in the heart. I coloured it with my pencils and put clear embossing powder on the heart to make it pop, the weathered timepiece is a clearstamp bij the house of three, I layered it to give it more dimension. At the top is a piece of embossing  aged with paint  for the grunge. Then I've added some bling, roses and a metal corner to finish this tag.

Hope you will all enter the challenge again, so much fun seeing all your great entries!

 

 

I will enter this tag in the following challengens:

Dragons Dream TIO cjhallenge # 123 art for Art's sake

This fortnight it's the awesome Frankie's turn to dream up a recipe at Dragons Dream TIO,an this is what she came up with : “Art for Art’s Sake” - handmade background, interesting character(s), quirky twist and ofcourse it has to be a tag and you have to use at least one real stamp.

This was a hard one for me, I just played and see what happened an this is what it turned oud to be.
I think it's very quirky, it has interesting characters and it sure is twisted. The background is made with paint. It is very shiney because the paints all had gold or silver in them.

hope you will join the chalenge again, can't wait to see what you all make of this recipe.

To Dye For new challenge at Dragons Dream TIO

This week at Dragons Dream TIO it's Sue's turn to provide a recipe and it is
- “To Dye for” -;Make a tag and use spray ink, die cut(s) and embossing (heat or dry) and use at least one real stamp.

My tag was a bit of a disaster to make, I had it all planned but it didn't turn out as it should.

First I made the background for which I used my DIY spray ink (mixed watercolour paint with water in a spraybottle) and so far it worked out great, I really liked how the background turned out. Then the problems started.
I stamped the Time Traveler using black Stazon and when I removed the stamp from the tag some of the spray ink flaked off the tag and the stamped image was not clear. That was the first problem.....

But I solved this by stamping the image again on vellum, cut the image out and glued it on the tag(over the failed stamped image) then stamped and heat embossed the words Time Traveller.

The tag still needed something extra, so I masked the Time Traveler and stamped the clocks using white Stazon and had the same problem...... the Stazon and my DIY spray ink didn't like each other and when I removed my stamp the spray ink flaked off the tag and the stamped image was not clear. To make the image more visible I used white embossing powder and I liked the result.

Now I only had to add some die cuts and decided to use the TH Gadget Gears and cut them out off metal tape covered cardstock. Because of the mettalic look of the gears I thought the tag had a futuristic feel about it and I thought it would be fun to put some glitter glue around the edges.......you can probably guess what happened......... the glue didn't want to come out of the bottle so I had to squeeze it a bit harder.......then the nozzle came off and half of the glitter glue bursted out of the bottle on to the tag............

Luckely I could remove the most of the glitter from the tag. Instead of ribbon I used wire to finish the tag and attached a light bulb to the wire.

Here it is..... drumroll......

Hope you like and come and join the challenge

I will enter these tag in the following challenges:
