Tag# 8-22 "Delightful" #onelittletag

Hello again my friends.  This is the other tag that I made tonight Another fairly simple tag with a distress ink background.  I stamped the background with a Hero Arts stamp (one of my favourites!) wising bronze ink.  I stamped my focal image, another Hero Arts stamp, using my stamp positioner.  I used black versafine ink and Blueprint sketch distress ink.  I stamped my Fiskars sentiment with the black ink, added an embellishment from my stash and mounted to a black card to finish it off.

Thanks again for having a look at my tag.

Just a couple of short posts today, but I hope you enjoyed them.

Have an awesome and artful day!

Tag 8-21 "Angel" #onelittletag

Hello my friends!  I was in a tag making mood tonight, and made a couple of tags.  They are fairly simple, using some stamps for the first time and some embellishments from my stash.  I used distress ink for this background and a Tim Holtz stencil.  I was happy to use the Carabelle Studio stamp for the first time.  I used a stamp positioner that I made to first stamp with black versafine ink and go over it in certain areas with my gold ink.  To finish it off, I punched the corners with a Fiskars punch, added some embellishing pearls and mounted it to black card.

Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me share my latest creations with you.

Have an awesome and artful day!

Tag 5-23 "You Make Me Laugh" #onelittletag

Welcome to my blog!
This tag is a "catch-up tag" from the One Little Tag Craft Challenge.  The challenge that week was to use Gelli prints.  This is a background that I created by collaging some of the deli paper I had Gelli printed.  I added marks and splatters with distress paint.  I added some embellishments that I have had in my stash forever, a sentiment from a Fiskars stamp set and did some outlining with a micropen and a Posca paint pen.
I hope you find it cheery, and thank you for stopping by!

Tag 4-29 "Inspire" #onelittletag

Welcome to my blog!

This is tag 4-29 of the One Little Tag Craft Challenge I am participating in on FB.  Those of you that have been following along already know that I am still playing catch=up.  I am doing the punch challenge for this tag.  I am still using the same paper pad that I have been recently using for several tags, because it's out and because I really like it!  The Inspire definition is from a Graphic 45 stamp set (Typography)  I like the vintage feel of this tag.

Thanks for joining me!  Have an awesome day and if you enjoyed my tag, check back soon for another new tag!

Tag 4-30 "All You Need..." Punch Tutorial #onelittletag

Hi, welcome to my blog!  The latest challenge on the FB tag challenge I have neem doing (One Little Tag Craft Challenge) is punches.  I love punches because they are quick and easy, but I have never tried punch art.  So I searched around a bit and got some ideas.  This one was insprired by Dawn at Dawnsstampingthoughts.net. I put my own spin on it and used the punches that I had and I LOVE how this little guy turned out!

All the paper I used is from one pad that I had out from doing my owl tag.  (It's an oldie, but I really like this paper)

Her are all the pieces and punches I used

There are a few pieces I did some that I cut a bit as well.  Two of the smallest ovals that I used for the back paws I put back to back and trimmed the ends as indicated. then drew in an indication of paws.  I put them back to back to make sure I had a right and a left.  I folded one of the smallest ovals in half and cut it as indivated for the front paws, and drew in a few lines to indicate the paws.

Keep the little piece that is trimmed off the bottom as a tail!

Next, I inked the edges of all the pieces and drew in the whiskers and a little smile.  You don't have to ink the edges, but if you do take the time to do it, I think it makes a big difference in you finished piece.

I added a few highlights on his eyes and nose with a white gel pen.

I dug out some of my Graphic 45 stamps (It's Raining Cats and Dogs) and picked out a few sentiments.

I decided he need a little grass to stand on , and got out another Fiskers punch

I punched out my sentiments, chose one, inked the edges and assembled my tag.  I used a Stabillo All pencil to shadow my images.

I'm really happy how my first attempt at punch art turned out, he's so cute!  I Hope you enjoyed my little tutorial and will give it a try.

Thanks for loining me today, have an awesome day!
