Tio Challenge 44 Heart and Soul

I typed out my sentiment and printed it on to text and graphic paper, then using a mixture of fired brick, dried marigold and scattered straw I inked up my background around the edges.
The dragonfly and fern stamps are from Imagination Crafts by a company called Chapel Road Artstamps. I inked up both stamps with the fired brick ink and blotted before adding the images on to the tag. The smaller butterflies and dragonfly stamps are secret until this weekend! Guess you know where they came from then? I finished off by adding some extra colour by using my pastel chalk pencils, I love the delicate shading that you can get from these, and they work beautifully on matt cardstock!

Tio Challenge 40 What's on the desk! - what isn't??

Well my desk is quite tidy sadly the table I work on isn't!
These are two of the many stamps I'm enjoying playing with at the moment.
They are from Imagination Crafts and are made by Chapel Road Artstamps.
Used Inkssentials tool to blend shades from the Mountain Meadow Big and Juicy ink pad to the tag, I was originally going to use purples, but keep coming back to the warm earth tones.
I stamped out the image with memento tuxedo black along with a sentiment from another set.
Then after making sure that the ink was dry, I carefully used a water brush to take out the ink from the dragonflies wings. hope you like x
