Grungy Tag- Fiona Randall

Morning all I'm here with a grungy Tag

and my favorite Moth stamp from one of Andy's previous releases.

Layers of paint were dripped and drabbed on a Tando Tag and heat dried in between until I got the look I was Happy With. Next Up some stamping using Andy's Vintage background stamp with black archival ink and the edges of the tag inked too. Structure paste was applied with a stippling brush to one of Andy's cogs from his Industrial Elements set. Once dry two coats of Andy's Artist Pigment Paint in Paynes Grey was applied to give a dark Tarnished Metal Effect. A bookplate and a Gasket Ring from Andy's Industrial Elements set were given different Effects with resist stamping and normal ink stamping with the vintage and pebble Beach stamps befor a wash of Quinacrodone Gold Artist Pigment Paint applied. All elements were then layered up onto the tag base with off cuts of grey board to give depth and dimension. Finally the Gypsie Queen moth was stamped and coloured with washes of Prussian Blue for the wings and Raw Umber for the Body. This was the attached to the layered cogs as shown.

Thanks for stopping by today

Stay Safe

Hidden - Upcycled tape pen, light bulb and Andy elements

My project this month is called 'Hidden'
So many of us are going through things that no-one else can see.

I love how the bulb looks like an eye from above.

I have been using tape runners in my classes for a long time now and I was determined to find a way to use them in a project rather than just throw them away!

The wire flower bent into a flower shape and pushed into the plastic roller that the tape used to wind around. I layered up some of Andy's elements to make a mechanical flower centre.

The oval shaped area in the middle is an inner part of the runner.

The flower at the bottom of the bulb is the bigger part of the roller mechanism....I heated it with a heat gun until it melted and folded into a flower shape, which was the perfect holder for the bulb!

Scraps of lace and sequin on a roll were layered across the tag.

I stamped and embossed some of the words from Andy's 'Word Up' set, stuck the words inside paperclips and added them to more twisted wire. For more details and steps, have a look at my blog https://craftyhumphreys.blogspot.com/.

Thanks for looking.

Uncertainty tag by Monika Maksym

Hi all!
it's Monika here! Today I'm going to show you my latest tag with grungy, rusty background. You'll need a brayer ( rubber paint roller) for this technique.

To start with, prime the large tag from the Tagtastic 1 kit with black chalky finish paint. Squeeze a few dots of medium acrylic paint on the craft mat and start rolling your brayer to get even, thin coat, then run it through your tag. ( I've used Decoart Media Fluid Acrylics in Paynes Grey, English Red Oxide, Quinacridone Gold, Titan Buff, Transparent Yellow Oxide) Repeat this step with all of the colours and as many times as you like until you're satisfied with your background.

Stamp your chosen image and word on regular cardstock, then cut them out ( word has to be slightly smaller than your bookplate- measure it ) Using decoupage glue stick them on the tag and seal it with glue. With a small brush and transparent yellow oxide tint and shade your image.

Paint your bookplate, bolts and nuts with Paynes Grey wash, then add Quinacridone Gold on top. Glue them on once fully dry and apply a thin coat of ultra matte varnish.

Thank You for stopping by.
Monika, x
