Michael Strong sketch

Here is my sketch for the Michael Strong Yahoogroup.

Every month there is a new sketch. This is sketch #39.

I used the Michael Strong Cloisonné Leaves.

Stamped themwith versamark and embossed with copper

embossing powder and colored them with distress inks.

The front pannel is made with metal.

I was in spired to do this by one of the Tim Holtz

Christmas tags. You can see {HERE} how

you get this effect.

Have a creative day!

Inspired by Tim Holtz

Today I was crafting with a friend

and we were inspired by the tags on

the blog of Tim Holtz:

http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/10/a-bewitching-halloween-tag.html

 Tag # 1: Halloween

Tried to follow what to do for this tag on Tim's blog,

but as I did not have everything, I just had to

go my own way.

Used Tim Holtz paper, but I embossed it with the spiderweb,

to give it some extra dimention.

The spider is a  punch by Martha Steward.

The Halloween postage stamp is from my friend, so

not sure about the origine.

Instead of the "C" token I used a pumpkin charm.

When my friend has her tag finished,

she will post it here:

Herma's Creations.

Tag #2: Autumn

This tag is inspired on the previous tag, but totally

different elements. Tree and leaves are Tim Holtz dies.

A piece of wide open ribbon, SU! bat punch,

embossed background and owl charm.

Have a creative day!

I love those sketches of the Techno Stamper.

This time I used my images of

Designed2delight

to make the card sketch.

It is called

"pumpkins and tags".

I colered the images with copic markers and

added some ghosts and a sentiment by

Create with TLC.

The ghost is cut out with the SU! owl punch.

And Happy Halloween is stamped with

SU!'s Evereryday Flexible phrases.

Have a creative day!

Owl be scrappin'

Today I have a scrap page for you.

The papers are all by Club Scrap (Papillon kit).

The sentiment on top is by Create with TLC

and down at the bottom are stamps by Michael Strong.

In the background you see some cute little owls and that is a sweet

little clear set by Hero Arts

How did I do this?

I stamped the images with versamark on glossy paper.

Then I took my brayer and  a Kaleidacolor

inkpad Berry Blaze and rolled the color over the images.

Take a paper towel and rub the ink from the images.

The words I stamp with black ink at the end.

This owl is made with my new Cricut cartridge.

I am so happy using it and it is so much fun!

Have a creative day!

You might have noticed I love

those vintage images by

Create with TLC.

Here are some Autumn images

for an easel card.

You can find an easel card instruction here:

http://craftchaos.blogspot.com/2009/10/staande-kaart-stand-up-card.html

In the background I did some embossing

highlight technique and used some of the

new Tim Holtz distress colors

Here you can see the bottom part of the card.

The sentiment and the corn image are also by

Create with TLC.

Think Pink

Here is my card for the

Think Pink

challenge at

Dude Time Challenge Blog.

The image of the girl is by BoniBleaux Designs

and the sentiment is by

Create with TLC.

First I made this background

(and you are free to save it yo your computer and use it).

I did not have a ribbon stamp, so I made one.

To make the stamp I just a piece of rubber,

some EZ foam and a  clear block or a woodblock.

Also the cuttlebug and the ribbon cut die.

After you cut the ribbon out with the cuttlebug,

you stick it on the ez foam and now you can use it on a clear

acrylic block for stamping. I glued it to a woodblock

for I was afraid to loose my stamp.

I stamped the ribbon with versamark and embossed it with

pink embossing powder. Then I took my distress ink

to spongue the background andadd some stamps

in the same color range.
