J&C Creations - Metal Magic Tag!

Good Morning!

This week it's all about Metal at the  J&C CREATIONS BLOG and what better way to start this off than by using some of the new Metallic Distress Paints! I simply swiped them over a tag like I usually do, sprayed liberally with water and then heat set. Of course I also had to use one of my new stamps that arrived last week :)

To add to the metal look I then covered the tag with a variety of Distress Inks and sprayed a small amount of water this time onto the tag to create drip marks. I then stamped my main image using Archival Ink.

I finished the tag off by dying some ribbon with the Silver Distress Paint and a Stain which I then looped through the top. Embellishing also with my usual choice of Flowers, Flower Charm, Tissue Tape, Buttons, Dew Drops, Glitter and a Decorative Pin!

J&C Creations - Umbrella Man!

Good Morning!

As you will have gathered by now this week's theme at the J&C CREATIONS BLOG is Mini Books / Tags! For today's creation I have decorated a tag that would be great to give to any male.

To start creating your background swipe 3 Distress Paints of your choice over the tag and spray liberally with water, then heat set. Blend the edges of the tag with Distress Ink.

Using a background stamp cover the opposite corners with the stamped design using Picket Fence Distress Paint. I have also used the Second Generation Stamping Technique which is where you stamp again without re-inking the stamp.

Using Archival Ink I have stamped a character stamp off centre and a sentiment onto seperate card which I have then inked up to match the tag. I then added a strip of film-strip ribbon down one side.

To finish off the tag I added some Distress Stain & Paint to a piece of Seam Binding Ribbon which I then looped through the top and last but not least I added some buttons to the left corner!

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
