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

TIO 52 The Face

These are the stamps that were in our goodie bag, back in June from the Stamp Addict retreat.
The tag is inked up in a mixture of shades from the Big and Juicy "Waterfall" ink pad. Then over stamped with a crackle effect stamp in the darkest shade of the ink pad to add some depth.
The border, face and the butterflies were then added with memento Tuxedo black ink, and tinted using a mixture of pastel chalk pencils and Lyra polycolour pencils to add colour.

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!
