Hello Crafters!
Today I am thrilled and honored to show you my first project for the Creative Team - Ken Oliver Crafts.
For this project I created a Tag and I had so much fun playing with Color Burst - they are truly shiny and bright and also so easy to play with!

Check out Ken Oliver Craft's blog for more information


Material List:

- Color Burst : Alizarin Crimson
- Color Burst : Yellow Ochre
1) First, I used Color Burst as "ink" -- if I can say that! I put some powder over the stamp , I tried to put little because you really need a little bit of Color Burst to get the bright color!


2) I then spritzed water and let the color blend and mix together well, then I stamped. I have to admit that it took me few tried before I got a good stamped image. This happend because I was adding too much water and I was ending up creating a mess! The stamp you see I used in my tag is a second generation stamp.


3) I covered the tag with Tissue Paper and gel medium, I let it dry then I poured a bit of Ultramarine Blue Color Burst, I spritzed with water then I stared in awe while the Color Burst "bursted" into this bright amazing color! This might be one of my favorite color!


4) When the tag was dry, I applied pieces of tape and covered few parts with Heavy Gesso -- I let it dry again.

5) I mixed a bit of Terre Verte with water and with a brush I applied the color here and there over the tag. I decided to do this way because I wanted to have more control of where I was putting the color.



6) Finally I decorated and completed the tag. I stamped the background, stitched around the sides, cut a piece of vellum (and colored it with Alizarin Crimson Color Burst), a black thread and some splashes made with black acrylic paint.

Here are some details...







And here the whole tag...


What do you think about it?

Hello Crafters!
Today you will find me over ColourArte's blog where I will show you how I created this first tag (one of a looong serie) that I will use to decorate my Christmas Tree!

Those who know me, knows that when Christmas is coming i tend to....run away! I do not particulary like Christmas Related projects, I do not know why, but I hardly am able to create Christmas Projects... Don't get me wrong...! I LOVE Christmas and everything that comes after and with is, I just do not like to create with, let's put this way, Santa Claus face!


To create this Tag I have to thank my friend Kiara (You can check her creations over her blog here: Creazioni di Kiara) because she patiently cut this animal shape from a material she uses at works (similar to plexi) . I asked her to cut me 25 of these.... LOL poor my friend! :P

So I invite you to head over the ColourArte's blog to check out the complete list of ingredientra I used to create this tag and to see more photo of the projects!

Are you guys getting ready for Christmas (or anything that you celebrate)? How? Let me know in the comments!

Hello everyone!
Today is the first friday of the month, and as each month, this means a brand new challange over Take it Make it Design -- challange blog of Craft Stampers Magazine.

For the August Challenge, we would like to to use your pens and pencils on your projects! You could draw or sketch a design, or use the pens and pencils for colouring. Copics, Distress Markers, Spectrum Noirs, watercolour pencils, paint pens and markers, whatever floats your boat! You could add detail with fine liner pens, gel pens or smudgy Stabilo pencil..... the only limit is your imagination! Remember though, there MUST be real stamping on your project. Digital images CAN be used, but must be used alongside  rubber/acrylic stamping. Have fun!

I created this JUMBO super colored tag!




I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Hello and happy Sunday!
Today I am over the blog of ColourArte where I will show you how I created a very colorful TAG, definitely out of my confort zone!

It took me not much to create this TAG, the part that took me a lot of time was simply mixing colors till I achieved the color combination I had in mind!

I applied Radiant Gels with different tools, what I love most of Radiant Gels is the fact that once they dry, they stay the way you put them! And they create so so many textures!



I invite you to head over the blog of ColourArte to see more photo, step by step tutorial and the complete list of products I used.

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Hello Crafters!
Today after a long time, I finally publish a project I made just for the joy of doing it...for once I publish I project that do not belong to any DesignTeam, but just for my self.

This challange I take part of, has a big importance for me. I love checking these challanges over Simon Says Stamp , check out what the DT make and most of all to see how people are inspired by them and what they create!

This week's theme is "Royal", and you are free to interpret the idea as you wish!
And I then just let go and be inspired by the theme "bound" but "free"!

So I created this tag using products from ColourArte, Ranger, Black Gesso, paper etc.

The base is yet again my loved cardboard, I covered it with Ranger Tissue Wrap Paper, but I covered it with so many layers of media and color that you can barely see it!
The wings are cut off from the same Tissue Wrap Paper glued over another piece of cardboard.
I did the same thing with the crown but this time I covered it with dictionary pages.


I also used a stencil from TCW by Kasia Kryzminska, I am in love with this stencil and it is definitely a MUST HAVE.


I do not remember where I get the quote from, but as I was searching for the image on my photo library I found it accidentally...and I got inspired by that!
So I printed it with  photo paper as I was printing the photo..that is why is not matte.

I added "lipstick" by using distress marker Aged Mahogany and I used the same color, just in spray and ink to add color to the ribbon and to color the crackles.
Also with a lot of "pain" I was able to add these teeny tiny beads on the crown.


And here's the tag... what do you think about it?


I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Stay happy, stay creative! Till next time, xoxo!
