Love and layers

Happy Friday!  I have a tag to share with you today; admit I went a bit OTT with the layers on this tag so not entirely sure which stamps I used!  But the main image is Crafty Individuals, and the LOVE stamp is from a Tim Holtz set.  The dragonfly I stamped and cut out from the original stamp, then coloured and outlined and glued back on to the tag.

The colours are mostly blue and yellow Distress inks and stains, with tarnished brass Distress Stain in the background and stamped on top, with the main images stamped in black Archival.  The ribbon is a scrap from the large jar of bits and pieces I keep on my shelf :)

I've also posted at The Stamp Attic today (yup I have Christmas DT supplies!) so if you want to see more than this sneak peek please pop over to the blog and say hi :)

Thanks for visiting today!  Have a great weekend, happy scrapping :)

A little splash of colour

I was looking at layering this week when I was making a few cards, and had tremendous fun with pigment ink, spray ink, tissue tape, paper, doilies, images, flowers, pearls and punches while making these!

As with my last post, both images are from Crafty Individuals but I'm afraid many of the other supplies are ones that were floating about in my stash and caught my fancy :) although you might recognise a few flashes of Mr Holtz in the stamping and tissue tape department!  If you look closely at the card above you can see the Eiffel Tower off in the distance ...just! lol

What I enjoyed most about making these was layering up a neutral background with cream, beige and gold, and then choosing a colour to accent; with the second card the spray ink I used seemed to quite closely match the burnt oranges in the image.

Thanks for visiting! Happy scrapping this weekend :)
