Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a couple of 6" Art Share Tags. 
You know the ones that are fun to giveaway to friends
and art peeps!  I'm using some back
"in the day" products too.

Art Journal Page with Creative Worship Stamps~

Hi there!
I'm so excited to be Guest Designing for
 Creative Worship Stamps in the month of April. 
I love to Art Journal so that is my starting point. I get
inspiration from scripture, music and everyday life.

I started by adding color (Distress Oxide ink) to the page and
then a stencil was added in.  The Star Pattern Stencil was perfect!!
Water marks were added by sprinkling water, over the ink, and then
dabbing off. So fun!    

 

The stamps were added in and then highlighted with Distress Oxide inks.
I use them like watercolors. I will list below. The words are embossed
on black cardstock.  The Leaf Fronds Stencil is added using Walnut Nut
Stain.  The Faith Definitions Stamp is added along with a round
paper clip for open/closure. 
Products used: Creative Worship Stamps: Have Courage, Grunge Elements 2,
Faith Definitions, Typewriter Text BG, Family of God & die, Vintage Snippets 
and Patient Echinacea. Creative Worship Stencils: Star Pattern and Leaf Fronds.
Ink: Ranger: Distress Oxide: Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers and
Walnut Stain. Versafine: Onyx Black. other: Posca: White and
Black markers, White acrylic paint and embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by!
I will be sharing projects twice a week, so don't be a stranger!

Clustering Buttons on a Mixed Media Tag ~

Hi there!!
I have been creating with buttons by 
Buttons Galore & More and they look fab
clustered on a mixed media tag.  I'm using the 
Spring Value Pack because the colors were a perfect
match with the inks used for the tag.

The background is a mix of Distress Oxide inks. The inks didn't

 get written down but I used a pink, dark pink and a light green.
Any colors, that look good together, will make a fun looking
tag.

Clustering three different sizes next to the focal image brings the eye
to the main attraction. I used thread to add more color to the
buttons.  I really love the look!!
CONNIE10 will get you 10% off your button order.
Buttons Galore & More

The stamps used are by : Paper Artsy: ESN67 (sentiment),
 Sweet 'n Sassy: Messy Mark, Grunge Marks, Singing Praises,
Boranical Branches and Foliage Silhouettes. Darkroom Door:
Number Medley. Tag: Studio Light. Adhesives: Scrapbook
