January 2015 Guest Designer Stampotique (week3)

The 3th theme this month as a guest designer for Stampotique is "Punny/Funny Projects" hosted by Kathi.
E.E. Cummings once said: "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter." Puns and word play always make me smile. Really good puns make me laugh.

So to make you smile (I hope) I created this "depresso coffee guy" for you. 

I folded and stitched a large tag to create a pocket to insert the small tag with "Coffee" sentiment. The background I made using clear embossing powder and France's new "Romatic Text" stamp which is lovely!  The "depresso" guy is Jammin' by Daniel Torrente. The sentiment I made on the computer and distressed it after printing  it.

It was fun making this one, hope you like it too :)

January 2015 Guest Designer Stampotique (week1)

I am very pround to let you know I am a guest designer for Stampotique in the month January this year. 

The theme of the first week, hosted by Claudine,  is "New Years Resolution". Most of us always create a new Years Resolution at the beginning of the new year. So for 2015 I made something with a new years resolution in mind :)

For this tag I used The "When I grow up" Stamp (Carol's Collection), "January" from the months stamp set by Amy Wilson, "Weasel" by Daniel Torrente and France's French Journal Page"" for the background.

Textured Background SDC 137

For Kay Wallace's challenge "Textured Backgrounds" I have been using quite some different products to get the effect I was looking for. I started with a blue water color pencil, after that I applied Gelato cotton candy and then I used a stencil and a baby wipe to get the basic background. I added a layer of glimmer mist (Pearl) to give it a shiny look but of course this didn't give me a textured background so I might as well have skipped this LOL.

Next I used distress inks Broken China and Chipped Saffire and to get my texture, Clear Rock Candy distress paint. Let it dry and then applied Chipped Saffire again to get the cracks more visible.

I used the Stampotique LOVE stamp and at last I added some embellishments and a lot of white dots around the LOVE stamp.

Some tags I made using different techniques like: a transfer technique, stamping, doodling, stencils, embossing etc. etc.
