Artful Times Challenge - Stencils-masks

For this challenge on Artful Times we had to use stencils and/or masks. I have this mission to use up my Dreamweavers embossing paste before it goes hard. I decided to make my usual tags and set about pushing the paste through my chosen stencils. The tags had been inked before hand. I was a bit surprised to find that when they were dry, the embossing paste had soaked up some of the colour from the inks. That will save me having to colour the paste now, as I will try to work with the colours, rather than try to alter them. Here are the first stages.

I am not sure what to do next, so thinking cap on. I have managed to do two Time ones, but still stuck with the other two. I will do those at a latter date, when inspiration strikes. I added several stamped images, and various charms to the tags, leaving a bit of the textured background showing.    

                         

Every Inchie Monday -- Life

On Every Inchie Monday the subject is Life. Not really sure where to start with this one so just drew a bowl of cherries and added the quote.

Every Inchie Monday -- Mountain peak

I can't believe it's Monday again, where does the time go. On Every Inchie Monday, the subject is Mountain peak. This time I painted the mountains and then added some pearl paint on the tops to look like snow.

Artful Times Challenge 26 -- Charmed to meet you

The challenge on Artful Times this time is Charmed to meet you. The idea is to make charms that you can use on cards, jewelry, key fob etc We can also send them to Von to swap with the other ladies if you want to.
I started out by inking some white dominoes with alcohol inks, and stamping them with black stazon. Some I then coloured with sharpies. For two of them I used a piece of stampbord, and a games piece. These had the same treatment as the dominoes. I have drilled holes in some of them, but chickened out with others.

Every Inchie Monday - Travel

Once again on Every Inchie Monday, I reverted to the shrink plastic, and made a travel tag. This was glued onto an inchie, that I had stamped part of a travel stamp on to.

Every Inchie Monday - Map

This week the subject on Every Inchie Monday . So easy to cut out a bit of map, so that is what I did. I cut out enough to be able to fold it like a proper map. You know the the ones you can never get to fold up properly again. I then added a shrink plastic map tag to the front, as I was feeling guilty just cutting a map to bits.

Fusible film

I made these two for a swap where you had to use fusible film. I haven't made up my mind yet, which one I will send to my swap partner. I used Lynne Perrella stamps for both of them, and Stazon ink. Colour the stamp with black Stazon, and put 2 or 3 layers of film on top of the stamp, touching the ink. Put a layer of parchment paper on top, and iron with the iron set on the silk setting. Check carefully to see if it has transfered the image.
Carefully stick onto chosen backings. In this case a canvas that I had textured around the edge of, and a tag that I added some texture, and Angelina fibres to. Because they arew shiny, they don't photograph very well.
