Wow! Time flies when you are having fun!! :)

It has soon come round to my turn again and I'm here to share a card with you...
...it uses very little masking too :)

...then stamp the watch face from Time and Keys in Archival black on top and mask this.

2. Stamp the Mountain background on one half in Distress scattered straw... ...mask the edge at the middle with a scrap piece of paper and stamp the Europe Map background on the other half in Distress bundled sage.

3. Stamp the sentiment "There's no time like the present" from Time and Keys in Archival sepia all around the edges.

4. Stamp "Carpe Diem" from Journaling Words 3 and "All of life is a journey" in Archival black.

We Will Always... by Sioux Jenneys

Hiya all! I'm sharing something a little different that includes a tag this time! HOL I'm all loved up....and wanted to wrap up a DVD that I bought as a surprise for my boyfriend....how snugly does that sound :)

1. Stamp some basic plain brown packaging paper with the background stamp of your choice in Archival Sepia, I used the Music background... don't be too concerned with lining the images up exactly....believe me it will not be noticeable once the package is wrapped. ;)

2. Cut a tag from kraft card and one from white card using the Sizzex Tiny tags and tabs die and stamp the script from Carte Postale plate in Archival coffee and age edges with Distress Ink walnut stain....cut the white one smaller on all sides and age with some Distress Ink Antique linen and attach adding a hole reinforcer cut from the same die.

3. I used words from Journaling Mini Words 1 but did not have the word "have" so cut individual letters from different words and glued them to some card...it was a bit fiddly but so worth it! :) I used part of the Paris postage from Paris to London plate and coloured with a Distress Marker in worn lipstick. The words were stuck to black card to finish.

4. I stamped the word Carte Postale from the Carte Postale set and the Fleur De Ly's from the T!m Paris to London plate in Archival coffee. Stamped one of the crowns from Crowning Glory onto metal, cut out using Tim Holtz scissors and puffed out the metal using a Ten Seconds Studio tool and attached to the tag. Wrap the gift, secure with some Bakers Twine and attach the tag.

Why not give your loved one a surprise package this week :) See you again soon!

Spirit by Sioux Jenneys

Hello everyone! I'm here to share a card today using masks :)

 

1. Cut a circle mask out of card using a die cut and stipple Distress Ink in spiced marigold using a shaving brush or stipple brush.

2. Cut two more circular masks in smaller sizes and colour the larger one with Distress Ink aged mahogany.

3. Colour the smaller one with Distress Ink vintage photo and before you remove it stamp the Retro square background from Neil in Archival sepia over the top.

4. Because I got some stray ink on the base card I used the positive circular masks to cover what I had already done and stippled Distress Ink tea dye all over the base card.

5. Keeping the two smaller masks in place and removing the larger one I put the original large open mask back again and stamped the Dance Dictionary background through it in Distress Ink spiced marigold.

6. Remove all the masks and stamp the female Free your soul image by Donna in weathered wood and the wording from the same set in Archival black.

I do like a bit of masking fun, hope you liked it too :) See you again soon!

Mars-Venus by Sioux Jenneys

Hello everyone! It's my turn again and I'm here to share a journal page today using some of Neil Walker's fan-dabi-dozy new stamps:)

1. I spritzed some Dylusions onto the page and used a mask to spritz a bit more then, as the colour was too intense where I wanted the images to be, I applied a bit of white paint. I finished off by stamping the fabulous hatched border by Neil around the edges in Archival sepia. Why spend hours cross hatching when Neil's stamp can do it for you?

I, for one, do not have enough hours in the day!! ROFL

2. Stamped Franswar and Kiki in Versafine and added a little extra colour with Distress Markers.

3. I used a Distress Marker in Chipped Sapphire to add a solid line to the border and then some dots.

 

4. I doodled the words using a black marker and added some white pen marks over the top.

5. The words Mars, and Venus were cut from cardboard using a Tim Holtz die and coloured with Adirondack dimensional pearls. They were then stuck down with Glossy Accents.

6. It's a fairly simple page really but there is still potential to develop it further should the need to expand on the Mars/Venus - Male/Female thing ever pop in my head! LOL

Thanks for looking today :) See you again soon!

Don't forget those tags for the monthly challenge....you could be the one who wins this month :)

Fish and Flowers by Sioux Jenneys

Hello everyone! It's my (Sioux) turn again and I'm here to share not just one card...

But two cards!!! :)
I felt so guilty that these were so easy to make that I made two cards for you today ;)

1. I have taken to loving the look of stamped images layered together...no masking at all....in shades of just a couple of colours. So I stamped the fish card in Distress Ink faded Jeans and Peeled Paint then tatter the edges and inked with Distress Ink Brushed Corderoy. I used the following stamps on this card.

Fish and "Beside the Seaside" from Beside the Seaside
The net is Mini Lattice Wire
Polka dot is Dots Background
Flower from Botanical Plate 1
Journey from Jounaling Words II

2. The flower card was stamped in Distress Ink Peeled Paint and Scattered Straw then the edges were tattered and inked with brushed corderoy again. I used the following stamps on this card.

Flower from Botanical Plate 1
Calligraphic Mat 13
Stamp from Airmail Bird Collage Elements
Small Bingo Card
Butterfly from Insects and Butterflies 1
Happy from Jounalling Words 1

Ooh! Making those made me happy :) See you again soon!

On a Pedestal by Sioux Jenneys

Well it's November.....yikes it's Bonfire Night! Where has the year gone!!! LOL I'm here to share a tag today :)

1. I spritzed a tag with some Dylusions in melted chocolate, vibrant turquoise and lemon zest...then spritzed a bit of water over to help amalgamate the colours. Dried it off a bit and started to dab up some of the still wet ink for some texture. I then put a stencil/mask over and spritzed some water over it, removed the mask and blotted the water off some more.

2. I used the journaling mini words 1 as a background and stamped it in Archival coffee using a second stamping.

3. I stamped Life is a Circle in Archival black and over stamped the smaller clock face from Tick Tock plate in Archival coffee. Carpe Diem and part of another Architectural plate 1 element were stamped on the edges in Distress aged mahogany and a couple of the swirls from the Tick Tock plate were stamped in Distress vintage photo

4. I stamped the man from Mens plate 1 and the pedestal from Architectural plate 1 onto previously coloured card and cut out...attaching them with glossy accents.

5. I had used some kitchen roll to dab up the ink in step 1 so I decided to waste not want not and hand wrote the sentiment onto this using a sharpie pen (any water resistant pen will do it)...

..."She put him on a pedestal so that all could admire his beauty"...

the words were cut out and attached to the tag with Glue and Seal matte...it allows the background to show through to a certain extent ;) The word Beauty is from Nudes A4  plate. When the glue and seal was perfectly dry I added the lines with the Sharpie pen. 

6. The edges were aged with Distress aged mahogany and fibres threaded through the tag.

Hope you liked the tag today :) See you again soon....keep safe with those fireworks!

xoxo Sioux

Bird Tag by Sioux Jenneys

1. I made the background using Distress Inks faded jeans, Victorian velvet, and crushed olive swooshing them around on a non stick sheet drying and swooshing some more!! ;)

2. I stamped the bird from airmail bird collage in Archival black and then masked it...followed by stamping the music back ground in Distress Ink Victorian velvet.

3. The little combo at the top was the stamp image (aged mahogany), ticket (vintage photo) and "perfectly fitted" (Archival coffee) from Ephemera 1.

4. "Free as a bird" and "Hold fast" quote stamped in Archival black.

5. The mini lattice wire was stamped round the edges in vintage photo, then the edges tattered and more vintage photo and aged mahogany used to age the edges.

6. For no other reason than I have a lot of spare cava tops
(I am the cava queen after all!!! LOL)
I added this in the corner with "dream" from mini journaling words...finished off with some bakers twine and a crown on the bird using a little bit of German scrap form my stash :)

I'll be back ;)
