A couple of Unity tags

I have a stack of tags already coloured with either Dylusions inks or distress inks and turned to those today to make a couple of Unity stamps tags.

The tag above was coloured with Dylusions inks and then the sentiment from Bold Insight was stamped using grey Memento ink. The dragonfly from the same set was stamped on to card coloured with distress inks before being cut out and adhered to the tag.

This second tag is slightly smaller but made the same way. The sentiment is from Moments in Bloom and the flowers are from Bold Insight. I added a tiny rhinestone to the centres.

Artistic Outpost - Huck Finn tag

I've been playing recently with tags and Dylusions inks and decided to use my Artistic Outpost stamps on today's tag.

I have a stack of tags ready dyed and another set ready that are distress-inked and chose some in a blue/green colour combo.

Materials used: Dylusions inks, Ranger Distress inks, brown Memento ink, Artistic Outpost Huck Finn stamps, twine, muslin, button and metal plate bought in a job lot from a friend.

Vintage Games tag

Here's a tag I made a few weeks ago using the UMount Vintage Games stamp set by Sam Poole.

I used Dylusions inks to make this:

Materials used: scrap cardstock, Dylusions inks, UMount Vintage Games stamp set, black Memento ink, ribbon, staples, vintage glass button, beads.

Unity Love Life canvas

Well, after missing posting last week due to a case of nothing going right with my make I'm back this week with a canvas for my Make the Day Special blog post this week.

This started off as a 6" x 4" canvas board from The Works (great value at 99p for a pack of 5). 

I coloured the background with Derwent Artbars which I then blended using a baby wipe.

The Love Life stamp from Unity's Love Life set and the butterfly stamp from Unity's Life Becoming set were stamped on to patterned paper then cut out. 

I used K and Co printed die-cuts, metal embellishments , Prima lace, a beaded string from a Christmas decoration and more to embellish.

Materials used: canvas, Derwent Artbars, Unity stamps (as above), Pink Paislee London Market paper, brown Memento ink, K&Co die-cuts, Prima lace and flowers, lace embellishment, metal charms, Vintaj Patina paint, vintage glass button, beaded string from Christmas decoration.

100 (tomorrow)

Tomorrow my OH's Gran celebrates her 100th birthday so I made a card which I'm sharing here today. As it was quite bulky I also had to make a box to put it in before sending:

Materials used: Papermill cardstock, My Mind's Eye papers, Nestabilities dies, Coredinations cardstock, vintage glass glitter, beaded embellishment, Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, Hobby House gemstones, satin ribbon, Prima alphabet stickers.

A royal Unity tag

Here's the tag I made for the Make the Day Special blog today:

I cut the tag from scrap cardstock and then sprayed it with Dylusions ink sprays before stamping the "She is the Queen" stamp from Just Be You on to it using Memento ink.

I then sprayed some different Dylusions sprays on to another piece of card and then stamped the winged crown stamp, from the same stamp set, on to this and then cut it out.

I used the border from the "I make stuff" stamp from Better Somewhere Today to randomly stamp around the edges of the tag and used a fine paintbrush and the Dylusions to paint the leaves.

I then assembled the tag and added a few beads to the bottom:

Materials used: scrap cardstock, Dylusions ink sprays, Unity stamps (as above), sequin waste, velvet ribbon, Dovecraft brad, black and brown Memento inks, various beads.

I also used a couple of sentiment stamps from Life Becoming which I stamped straight on to the photos using Stazon ink.
