Another Tag to satisfy my addiction!!

What better way to satisfy a crafty addiction, than be part of a swap group! This tag swap is through Scrappingclearly! I love having the excuse to make another tag, I just love working on a smaller than normal canvas. It's fun! Each month, our group is given a moodboard to inspire us for our tag. Here is the September one:





Conveniently, I had just purchased some African animal stamps from Kaszazz, and had this gorgeous Zebra stamp, I knew would have to go on my tag somewhere!

I started by adding some acrylic paint to a plain, white tag, by swiping, magenta and white with a sponge!

I then mixed some silver and white paint together to make a grey, and popped that through a Dusty Attic Stencil.

I used a small, leafy tree branch stamp, also from Kaszazz, and some Staz On ink for a little contrast around the edge.

I love using gauze in my projects, particularly tags. I coloured a piece with some Distress ink and water! Just a touch of Glossy Accents or similar glue and some fluffing about to adhere it to the bottom of the tag!

My finishing touches, are a few little RAKS I received from a friend, the lace flowers and gorgeous flower brads. I am a fan of the Tim Holtz word stickers , and they usually always get a look in on my tags!!

Lastly, I coloured the ribbon, with the Kaszazz alcohol ink Art Markers, they work a treat!!! (The stripes on the Zebra are also coloured with the Art Markers!!!

TFL, till next time,

My tag for Kraft Plus

Silly me thought how good am I getting in with my challenge entry for Kraft Plus, on the last day of the month!!!! Well, more fool me, because I forgot to link up on their blog didn't I.......
Anyway, just want to say how much I adore playing along with Kraft Plus and their challenges every month!!!
Here's my tag anyway!!!! Love the Kraft tags which I get from Kaszazz!!!





















I love the Dusty Attic Script stencil I used with some texture paste on the background!!!
I added a bit of colour with Distress paints and a water spray, then a flick of some Heidi Swapp colorshine. My flowers are a mix of leftovers in my stash, and I'm happy to say, I made my own tassel! There's a couple of sweet embellishments from my friend Vicki, over at Scrap matrix, some left over chipboard from Kaszazz, some Kaisercraft droplets and the leaves are from one of the Cocoa Vanilla cut files!
TFL!!

Scrap the Girls August moodboard DT page

Well, hello, it's the 1st of August, and that means a new month and another new challenge. Yippee! I absolutely love this month's moodboard over at Scrap the Girls, I know you will too, it's just stunning!! Take a look....

I was immediately drawn to the image in the top right and thought my Kaszazz Mandala stamps would work a treat in my background.

First I added a coat of clear Gesso to my white cardstock, then sprayed some Dylusions inks and water. When that was dry, I started stamping my background. Aswell as the Mandala stamps, I also used some other Kaszazz stamps, the mesh stamp & net stamp.
I've used some Colourblast, colour paste in blue through a stencil and also used it to colour my chipboard arrow and feathers. (Which was one of the fab pieces I got from a prize I won from Dusty Attic.) It is stunning!              

Actually, I did alot of colouring on this page!!! I coloured the flowers with Dylusions sprays and used Alcohol ink Art markers to colour bits of the Mandala stamp. Flowers are from Scrap Matrix and Merci.
There's some free glitter stickers and a paperclip from an old Scrapbooking Memories magazine, some twine and hessian, 7 Dots papers, stickers and journal tag, (which I've hidden), and a gorgeous Kaisercraft clear word sticker.

Hope you like my layout, it's one of my favourites I think!! TFL,
