TIO #88 Look to the Skies!

 

This week over at DragonsDream TIO it's my turn to start the dream, so where better than the sky!! After all each and everyone of us looks the sky through different eyes!! We all see something different, whether it's a Plane, Balloon, Stars, Birds or the Moon!! The choice is yours to dream along with!

I inked up my base tag with a mix of scattered straw, wild honey, brushed corduroy and black soot distress inks. Then stamped out the Artemio compass stamp in brushed corduroy. The Artemio plane was stamped out in black soot, and then colour was added with chalk pencils. The text stamps are from PSX and stamped out again in black soot. The tag was finished with a few metallic studs, a brad and some ribbon. hope you enjoy this weeks challenge and pop over via the link on my sidebar to join in. Love Elizabeth x

Rainbow Ladies Challenge 121 Gothic Christmas

These Christmas stamps are from Artemio, I love the way they have a hand drawn look about them.
The holly was inked up using fired brick distress ink and the leaves were carefully inked up with peeled paint distress ink.
The edge of the arch was tinted using the peeled paint and a piece of cut and dry foam. The holly was then coloured in with lyra polycolour pencils. The noel was stamped with tuxedo black memento ink and again coloured with lyra polycolour pencils.

New Artemio Stamps

One for the boys today!
These stamps are from the Belgium Company Artemio and are great value for money! The main stamp consists of script, postage and a compass. This was stamped out using the Big and Juicy Spice pad and also added the Airplane from the same stamp set. The edges were inked with the Spice ink pad, and then colours were picked out using Lyra Polycolour pencils. The map was left over from another project and seemed to fit the bill perfectly. The card was covered in croc effect green paper and the images were added by using good old lick and stick photo corners!!! The "Dad" tag is from Hot off the Press and the idea was pure Harrison Ford!!!

Tio Challenge 46 Inchie by Inchie

Frankie's challenge this week was to include inchies, at least one stamp and only three colours.
I decided to go with a blue, green and black colour scheme and chose faded jeans, shabby shutters, peeled paint and memento black.
Inked up the tag in the two shades of green using a combo of an ink duster and blending tool. Cut out the inchies from some scrap Brenda Pinnock card stock and inked around their edges with faded jeans. Used various stamps some QVC specials and some Artemio. Added some extra colour with Lyra polycolour pencils and raised some of the inchies on foam pads.
