Using Colours from Magazine

Well, this is actually a stamp that a very good friend of mine had sent me. She wanted to see how I've used it. I'm actually not much into colouring the image therefore I've came up with this idea. I've found a page in an old magazine that I love and simply stamp that image on it using a black solvent ink. Later, I've cut it out to use it in my card project. This really saves me lots of time in colouring it and the different composition of the magazine page did create some interesting pattern on the image.

Mesh Printing with Gesso

This is a technique which I've used in one of my recent card. I've used some plastic mesh and gesso to create some random printing on a card stock. Then I've used a few colours of distress inks to randomly dab onto the card stock too. To reveal the printed meas images, I've used a wet wipe or you can use a damp cloth to wipe the inks on the printed mesh images. This technique had given a kind of cool distressed look! Try it!

Love Fairy Tag

This is will be my last fairy experiment tag for now. Since it's my last one, I wanted to create it a little differently from the rest. Here are the steps to it.

1) First I've cut a big circle on the pre-printed transparency tag.

2) Then I've used some 3 dimensional liquid accents (ie. glossy accents, crackle accents) to dab all around the circle and sprinkle some crystal glitters on it. When it's dry, I've covered it with another coat of liquid accents to seal it up.

3) I've cut out a circle clear transparency which is slightly bigger than that circle and stamped on it using some solvent ink. Later, I attached to the tag from the back using the liquid accents too.

4) I've then glittered the fairy image and added some crystals and rhinestones to it. To give it a little dimensions, I've cut part of the flower petals and fold it up.

5) I've stamped the plant of hearts and heat embossed it using some white and silver embossing powders on black card stock. Then I've cut it out and added some details on it using rick rack, 3D pen, doodling, glitters and crystals.

Secret Fairy Tag

Here's another little fairy tag that I've created today. I've used various stamps to stamp the background on a clear transparency. Then, I've used some dimensional liquid accents (ie. glossy accents or crackle accents) to create all the watery drops or rain drops.

I've glittered the fairy image using some green glitters. I've also added some rain drops using the liquid accents technique on her hair too. I've stamped the plants on various pattern papers and card stock. To add some details on them, I've inked, glittered, heat embossed, add sequins and beads to them. All the pieces are attached to the transparency using foam adhesives to give some dimensions to the tag.

I've noticed that quite a few of you asking me about the fairy images. Well, actually these images had been mailed to me by one of my blog reader. I do not have the soft copy to it. She challenged me to use them in any of my projects. I'm actually thrilled to have received them.
