Show Me What Matters Mixed Media Tag~

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing a mixed media tag using products
by Creative Worship Stamps.  I love mixing the stamps 
and showing how nicely they go together!!! 

I used Distress Oxide inks, to create a fun mix of

color, for the tag background.  I layered some vintage trim
and used the Vintage Snippets to create extra borders at the
bottom, to lengthen the tag. 

Other stamps used are Authentic Faith, Texture Tiles 1, Faith Wordfetti, Too
also Mindful Magnolias and Star Pattern Stencil.  The tag is hand cut
from scrap paper.  Waste not want not, right? 
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Darkroom Door June Challenge ~ New York Vol.1

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing a couple of mixed media tags using the
New York Vol.1 by Darkroom Door.  They are starting monthly
challenges using a specific rubber stamp set.  I just happened to
have the selected set (New York Vol.1) for June.  I had such a 
fun time creating with Darkroom Door, it had been awhile.  

All the information is here!!! 

The background is created using a mix of Distress Oxide inks for a 
messy look.  The images are stamped, over the background, using Versafine
Onyx Blk.  I use a heat tool to dry the ink faster. Other stamps used are:
Stitched Borders, Number Medley and Global Postmarks all by 
Darkroom Door. 

The background is speckled with white acrylic paint.  I use an old
toothbrush to achieve this look, just add a little water to the paint to
thin it out.

All the details, for the monthly challenge, are here on the
 Facebook Group page/Darkroom Door
Community.

Looking forward to seeing what you create!
Thanks for stopping by.

I did a mix of inks, Distress and Oxides to get the worn, vintage look.  The tag

The paper doll (friends) is colored in with distress inks. I just used the ink
colors I had used for the background.

Typewriter Keys Caps Alpha, Studio Light/Jennie's Mindful Sent & Wishes

Encouragement Sentiment Stamps with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today is my last project using the 
wonderful stamps and dies by Blue Knight Stamps.
I'm sharing a card and tag using the Encouragement
set (clear). 

Both of these projects are using the Mixed Media 2 Designer Paper  (purple/mix)  
as my starting place.  The tag is cut out using the Tag Die and then stamped
with Blossoming Branches.  A border is made for the bottom of the tag
from the tops of the small tag (in the die set).  Twine and a button are added plus
a fabric tie for the top. The card is using the same paper (purple/mix) and stamped 
with the Flowers in Grass.  The sentiment is from the Encouragement set and
Reverse Sentiments (Thinking of You). The bird is from the Birds ll set. Twine
is added to the bottom of the card.  All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesive by
3 L. 

Thanks for stopping by!!
Come back for the wrap up ~

Breezy Grass and Tag Die with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a couple of tags using the
Breezy Grass Stamp along with the Tag Die by 
Blue Knight Stamps.  

The Tags are die cut from the Mixed Media 2 Designer Paper / Orange mix. 
Isn't it cool the tag background is already done for you. It is ready to go!
 I used reinforcers (inked with black ink) to support the top tag hole.
The Breezy Grass is stamped on the tags.  Each tag the stamp is positioned
differently for a different looking tag. The dragonfly is stamped and
then the tags are speckled with white acrylic paint.

The sentiments are from the Reverse Sentiments set, one of my favorite
stamp sets.  Love the pop of black, brings your eye to the words. All 
adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L.

Thanks for stopping by!!
