Workshop

Hi I have some exciting news :-),  I will be teaching a class at ArtChicks Studio ( Barneveld, the Netherlands.

We are going to make an altered canvas (see pics below) using Deco Art products and a digital stamp by Rick St.dennis.

You can find all info here, hope to see you there :-)

Christmas Ornaments/tags

I had fun altering some wooden tags, and changed them into Christmas decorations.

Deco Art Products used:

Americana Decou page in Crystal Glitter and Matte

Americana Acrylic paint in Traditional Burnt Umber

 First I selected some chrismas scrapbook paper and cut it to size by tracing the form of the tag on the back of the paper.

Cut the shapes out and use Decou Page Matte to glue it on the tags

 For the back I tore some contrasting paper from the same line and glued that on the tag also using Decou Page Matte.

On the back of the tags is a sentiment stamped that says : "Joy and Peace" and I used the crackle stamp by Stampers Anonymous  on both sides of the tag

Next I used Decou Page matte to glue the vintage angels images on the tags.

I aged the edges using a paint brush and tradidional burnt umber paint.

The final touch is a few layers of Decou page Crystal Glitter to give it some extra bling and the decoration pearls.

 It's a set of 3

 I really like how they turned out :-)

some more tags

Just had to make this one , inspiration can be found in strange places. Somebody showed me a picture and suddenly this was in my head. We happened to be in Paris a few weeks ago and I had bought some Eiffel Towers. I only needed one but you can't seem to buy just one Eiffel Tower in Paris, they come 5 at a time LOL

The extra towers came in handy for this though...

 

Supply list

Deco Art Americana,

Acrylic Paint in the colours:

Sea Breeze DA 256-3

Light Buttermilk DA 164-3

Traditional Burnt UmberDA 221

Gesso

Glazing Medium

Weathered wood Crackle medium

I usually save all cardboards from notebooks, enveloppes, anything that has sturdy card isn't thrown away, I hand cut the tags and Gesso them.

Then I painted it using the Sea Breeze, let dry and stamped the images on using Archival Jet Black ink and cobalt blue for the background stamp, it's hardly visable but it's there.
Next the Weathered wood, let dry and apply top layere Light Buttermilk. Watch it crack but don't let dry completly. Whipe away the light buttermilk to get the effect you want. I use a baby whipe for that.
Let dry and make a glaze using the glazing medium and traditionalburnt umber, glaze the whole tag to get a bit more of an old look. Protect the tag using matte Varnish.
 Add the roses and other embellies and voila.....

 

The other tag is Halloween themed made for the Haunted Design House challenge

Dragons Dream TIO new challenge: Industrial Chic

I loved all the entries in the last challenge, thank you all for sharing you fab. art work and hope you will join us again for the new challenge.

It is the very talented Gabrielle's turn to choose the recipe for this fortnight's Dragons Dream Tag It On and she has chosen “Industrial Chic"- the three elements are: clockwork/cogs, vintage brown and industrial imagery with the only other rules being you need to include at least one stamped image and it all needs to be on a tag!

I love all these elements and I had a great time creating my tag





Hope you will have fun making your tag for Dragons Dream TIO
