Artful Times Challenge -- Time

This challenge was just up my street, as I love art about time. I thought I would use lots of different techniques on this tag. I started off with distress inks, and then used bleach on the stamp at the bottom. I stamped the top with various cog stamps and embossed the one on the right. Tha stamp at the bottom I added afterwards. The clocks and cogs are a mixture of shrink plastic, die cuts (embossed) and a Tim Holtz one thrown in as well. The pocket watch on the right has crackle accents on the face, the one bottom right is shrink plastic.

Artful challenge A sea of green

This is for the second of the new challenges on Artful Times, and the subject was a 'sea of green'

I decided to make a tag again, as I love tags. I coloured the background in two shades of distress inks, and then sprayed a green glimmer mist over the branch mask. I then stamped the images onto card and coloured them in lightly with distress ink, with highlights of watercolour. I added some sari ribbon at the bottom.

Texture with string ATC swap

These three ATCs are for a texture with string swap. I was a bit stuck for ideas until I thought of knitting. It was a bit painfull on my poor fingers, but I am quite pleased with the result. I stuck the string borders down with UHU.

New Challenge blog Tag

I haven't joined a challenge blog for years, but as my friend Neet has started a new one with two of her friends, I thought I would have a go. The blog is called Artful Times.
The first challenge was a tag, and as I love making tags, I enjoyed doing it. I am in an orange mood at the moment, so started off with some orange distress stains, and a mica spray. I stamped the image with the orange bit of a Big and juicey ink pad, and added some gold flourishes. The flower is made from organza.
