Then I moved on to my tags background, I used a bit of Distress Ink to create a blended background.

Next I added a bit bit of random stamping using the Art Journal 3 set. Then I added a bit more water and a bit more Distress Ink colors off my mat.

Then I mopped up my messy mat with a bit of tulle and  gave my bow a pretty blue bow.

After my tag was dry I added Alice  to my tag and gave  her a little shadow using a bit of watercolor.

And that's it easy peasy a pretty little tag :)

Thinking of You Card

HI Chris here sharing this quick and easy card for those times when you need a just a simple beautiful card!

To create this card I started by stamping the large butterfly onto vellum using my StazOn ink.

 I then turned my vellum piece over so that I was coloring on the back of the piece, coloring the stems and flowers.

 I colored the background with a light blue. See how pretty and muted the image looks when you turn back to the right side.

 I then matted my stamped image on patterned paper, added some pearl embellishments and then added my sentiment.

HOW I MADE MY ATC'S

The SinCity Design Team just had an AWESOME blog hop over the weekend!  Our theme was ATC's.  Each of us had to make 3 ATC's and show off our NEW ATC STAMPS from SinCity Stamps!

Today, I'm going to show you how I made mine, using several products from The SinCity Stamp Store.  You will find so much more than stamps there!  AND there is a PERMANENT PRICE REDUCTION right now!!  Sheets of stamps for only $16??? Madness I say!!  

Here are my ATC's

SUPPLIES:

• SinCity Stamps "Butterfly Mask"
• 7 Gypsies Rub-ons available at the SinCity Stamps store
• SinCity Stamps "Love of Butterflies" Stamp Sheet
• SinCity Stamps ATC Stamps
• ATC blanks
• Misc. Paper Scrap
• Grey, Black and Dark Red Ink

I started by stamping the backs of my ATC's with the NEW ATC stamps.  Aren't they awesome!  The design is so clear!  LOVE them!!

I added my paper to the front of the card and used the Butterfly mask as a stencil.  I used grey ink on the inside of the mask. I moved it to different areas on each card.  I love the layered look!

For my next layer, I used some of the new rub ons that we have in the store.  Just a few here and there gives the card some depth.

Then I turned them over and filled in my ATC stamp.  That's it!  Super fun and easy ATC's with many layers of AWESOME!!

Thanks for visiting!  I hope you take advantage of the new prices at the SinCity Stamps store and make some ATC's of your own!

Hello All Lanette Here!

Today I'm going to share a fun little tag featuring a bunch for stamps form the For Him Collection!

First lets take a look at my bright little tag and then I will take you through my process.

Other Supplies Used: Art Anthology Colorations and Sorbet, Prima Stencil, Twine, Ranger Permanent Ink, Distress Ink, Stazon Ink, Versa Ink, Embossing Powder and Vellum.
,
Now lets look at my process......

I started by randomly stamping my tag using several stamps from the For Him Collection, I used some Two bright colors of permanent ink from Ranger.

After stamping I covered my whole tag with lots of pretty mist!

NextI added a bit of a steam punk look using a Prima Stencil and some Distress ink.

My next step was to add my verse, I used a bit of embossing powder to make git it a little pop.

I just had to add a bit of sparkle so I used some Art Anthology Sorbet through a fun stencil.

Next I stamped my embellishment image on a bit of vellum to make the wings for my embellie.

And for the center of my embellishment I embossed the clock with a bit of gold embossing powder. (sorry its blurry)

And that's it easy peasy a pretty little tag :)

Creating a Masculine Card with Sin City Stamps

Hi Chris here and today I would like to share with you how to create this stunning masculine card. I was trying to explain to my daughter how easy this card was to make and she said show me.  So with her help, I have my first ever video to share with you! Now being that its my first I will apologize for the shadows in advance.  I am working on correcting that!  But the video does show how simple this card is to create!

Here are the supplies you will need:

Sin City Stamps: Sequence Waste; Ship; Wish
Tim Holtz Tissue Tape
Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Antique Linen, Mermaid Lagoon
Tim Holtz Distress Markers: Wild Honey
Water Brush
Ranger Archival Ink : Jet Black
Corrugated Paper
Altered Trading Card (The Paper Studio)
Black and White Cardstock

And here is the 1st attempt at video!

Mixed Media *Madame* Tags with Tamiko

Today I created a few fun tags for you with the faces from the  Madame by Madeline  stamp plate  by Sin City Stamps.  The tag is full of texture and color.  One was done with a gesso and modeling paste background and the second was modeling paste alone.  Question?  How many of you color your images in advance?  ::raises hand::  If you don't, do you wonder why I do?  I have three reasons. 1) I like to stamp my images out on various types of papers, not all images will require coloring. 2)I love to color.   I often spend hours at a time playing with different mediums laying pigment. 3) As I color I have done two things: a) created a colored image fodder- so I can grab and go for any up and coming projects; and I have also managed to at least use my stamp once!  How often do we buy things and not use them? You BETTER USE YOUR STAMPS!! ::chuckles::  Here a few tags I created.

To create today's tags I used the following:

Sin City Stamps-  Madame by Madeline Faiella 

Manilla tags

Tim Holtz's Stencil-  Doily Lace Pattern

Deco Art- Gesso and Modeling Paste

Derwent- Inktense pencils

Caran D'Ache- Neocolors II

Pentel- Waterbrush

Spatula

Helmar- PVA Glue and 450 Quick Dry

cardboard

embellishments

paper

scissors

I began by placing a thin layer of gesso on one of the tags. 

Stenciled some modeling paste on both tags.

Then I added some neocolor II

Moved the color around with my water brush.

After my backgrounds were completed for the tags, I embellished them with my pre-colored stamped images, flowers, faux ribbons and blingy goodness.  Here are few more photos.

It's the holiday weekend and you have an extra day to be with family friends and play!  Check out Sin City Stamps and get ya STAMPY AWESOMENESS on.. ::smiles and waves::  Have a safe and creative holiday weekend!!
