Life in a Snapshot, Sketch Challenge - October DT Piece

Hi Everyone

I have an exciting piece of news for you, not only am I back and blogging I am on a new Challenge DT.

I do hope you will play along here: Life in a Snapshot - October

For my piece I used a combination of Fresco Finish Paints and Clarity stamps and Stencils that had been used to make various Gelli Plate (now Gel Press) prints - the leftovers I'm not ashamed to say!

I also used Tim Holtz stencil (chevron) Hunky dory toppers and Stazon ink. I employed my fancy edge scissors too, which I haven't done for a very long time.

Hope you like and will play along.

Dragon's Dream Tag It On - DT Piece F and Green

This fortnight's recipe on Dragon's Dream Tag It On is supplied by May.

I started with a pre made Tag and covered it in Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, I the ran this through an embossing folder of Peacock Feathers I'd got free on a craft mag (i only buy them for the cover gift to be honest, if I don't want or like the Freebie it stays on the shelf). I cut the Peacock die from Tattered Lace out of some Teal Cardstock and added some Green feathers to the underside of the tail. I died the letter F with Teal Stazon to die the theme together and wrote the rest of the word Feathers with a Micron Pen.

Pan Pastel Playtime or Getting very mucky quickly

I bought this clock blank ages ago from Crafty Individuals with the intention of doing something with it eventually. Well it appears today was eventually!

I got my stash of Clarity stamps out and measured up which ones would fit the frames, then stamped them using archival black ink.

Then I set to work with the pan pastels to colour the images. I then used Pan pastels tp give a wood(ish) effect on the front of the clock, stuck the front to the back with Glossy accents (I think ouit works out as an expensive glue, but thought this warranted it) then added the mechanism.

I should stop getting ideas

Well, I should, I should also stop watching TV as most of my stupid isdeas come from there! This Tag is no exception. I was watching the queen of the brayer, Barbara Gray in her usual Sunday slot this morning, and she did a technique with bubble wrap. Well having a model builder in the house, there is always some luing around. Now I'm not a complete fool, we just don't know which bit is missing, so I thought I would start small, and do a Tag.

I inked up the buble wrap with versamark and blobbed it around the tag randomly, I then used Adirondak dye based inks, stonewashed and red pepper to brayer over. This left the bubbles in white as per resist techniques, I then spritzed cosmic shimmer and glimmer mists randomly ito a plastic box lid and "dunked" the bubblewrap in that then used that to over stamp the brayered work. I then used cosmic shimmer as a gentle mist over the top of the lot.

I then got out my Icons of London stamps from Clarity Stamp and stamped them in Adirondak Archival black around the tag. I did a few buses and a few phone boxes, coz there are more than one of each in London!

Hope you like it.
