Steampunk tag by Titbelsoeur

Hi this is Titbelsoeur today.
A big tag to give you inspiration for our Steampunk challenge.

I have used a big tag and glued old papers on it. Stamped it with Gears Background and the rule from the Ephemera 1 plate. Used a cloth tag, an old photo and ancient poststamp and frame.

Here is a snapshot on the steampunk butterfly from Butterflies 2 , body made with a safety pin painted in black and wire as antennas :

The 2 tags of last week's post have found their place on this big one :

Art Journal page by Titbelsoeur

Hello everyone, how about an art journal page for today ? Here is how I made it :
- brushed a slight coat of gesso to avoid the inks to spread to the other pages, then applied acrylic paint with a brush and played with my brush for various textures,
- threw some alcohol ink drops here and there to have some transparency
- stamped some background stamps,
- stuck papers, book page bits, images,butterfly  stamped images and real stamps, and the sentiment that was stamped on to a notebook page... with gel medium, 
- then wrote some words with a white pen.

And here is my page :

The stamps I used are :

Thank you tag by Titbelsoeur

Hello there, I want to show you today a Thank-You tag I have made for a friend of mine who reads a lot of books. I have first stamped this beautiful Butterfly from Butterflies 2 size A5 on the piece of paper I had first coloured in pink with Distress ink. Then I stamped Artifacts - Thank you Text with various Archival inks. When I have sticked the paper to the tag, I have embossed the Butterfly on the edges.

I hope my tag gives you inspiration to participate in our

Shaving foam background by Titbelsoeur

Hello crafters !
I have told you on the September Challenge post that I would show you my backgrounds made with shaving foam.
The technique is very simple and I like to get back to fundamentals from time to time ! You will find a lot of tutorials on Pinterest or using your web browser search tool.
Here is the page I have coloured with this technique, cut in 6 parts to make a mini-album :

And here it is, front page, 2 double pages and back page :

Canvas by Titbelsoeur

Hello everyone,
To make this altered canvas, I  first cut and corrugated cardboard pieces, then I applied gesso with my fingers, sprayed some ink and stamped Ephemera 1 A5 with black ink :

Then I added some ink on pieces of fabric and stamped garden tools, bees, butterfly and mushroom with black Archival ink. I also glued tissue paper on to my canvas and added some white gesso on it. Then sticked fabric on to cardboards and cardboards on to the canvas. 

Snapshots :

Here is the finished piece :

Butterfly Splatter Card by Gemma

I have another butterfly card to share with you today, I am really enjoying creating fairly simple cards with not a lot of fussiness at the moment.

This card was a larger square card to start with but it had a little accident and had to be redesigned.  

I started by putting small amounts of Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet, Spiced Marmalade, Distress Oxides onto a non-stick mat and mixed them with water, then using different sized small brushed I splattered the ink over a piece of cardstock. 

I then stamped three butterflies diagonally across the piece of card, one of these was later cut off. I also edged the card with yellow ink.

Once everything was dry I stamped along some areas of the sides with the plaid background stamp and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide, before stamping the words with love in archival ink.

To alter the card after it's little mishap I cut off the ruined area, applied more yellow ink to the edges and stamped, colored and cut out a new butterfly for the card front.

Thanks for stopping by

Tiny cards by Titbelsoeur

Hello there !

To meet the April challenge at The Artistic Stamper, I have made tiny cards just a bit larger than the new mini background stamps, I guess my cards have the same size as ATCs.

I have made the 3 cards the same way : stamped background and stamped image and word, so that they look like a triptych :

I have used the following stamps :

Another spring tag by Titbelsoeur

Hi there,
How about showing you another tag to help you participate in our March challenge ?
This one is built the same way as the previous one you have seen here : March's Creative Challenge - Springtime

The background is made of gelli printed butterflies. Then I have stamped flowers and sentiments with tone-on-tone ink, and highlighted the "thank you" with a white pen. The support is a cereal box painted with black gesso.

Easy peasy, isn't it ?

Patterned ATC's by Debs

Hi everyone

For a complete change today i decided to make some ATC's

Using some watercolour paper and some PaperArtsy Infusions in Violet Storms, Blackcurrant and a Little bit Jaded.  Sprinkled the infusions on the paper and then spritzed with Water.  Dried it all off with a heat gun and then added some stamping 

I used Punk Plaid, Dots, Sequin Waste and calligraphy mat 11 using Potting Soil Archival Ink

I then cut it into ATC's and then used a different stamp on each one
