Welcome to Paris Tag

Sharing another tag this week using another Julie Nutting mixed media doll stamp by Prima and a long border stamp by Dylusions. My Phoebe doll stamp was stamped on 140 lb. Strathmore watercolor paper, added color with watercolor crayons and water brush, cut out and then dressed with coordinating dress, shoes and scarf. I put a tiny pearl bead in her hair.
The hearts border stamped image was inked with archival black. Welcome to Paris is a Prima image. Oh so French stamp image was inked and added to the tag by Prima. Use distress inks on tag to give a distress look.
The strings added on this tag were from a piece of fabric that was unraveling in my stash, I cut off some and added to my tag to finish.

Little Princess Card

Only one page from my 8" pad had the quote; There Lived a Beautiful Princess, it was folded in half and used on this card.

Julie Nutting newest image, Betty was inked on watercolor paper, cut out and then color was added to hair, shoes and skin tones. Designer paper stamped dress was applied to doll. Little Prima flowers were added along with a little piece of lace. Bling was added to flowers and her hair.
So simple to make.
Finished size: 4 x 8"

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day

I just got this sweet little 2014 Julie Nutting stamp in the mail. She was inked on watercolor paper, cut out, and then I used watercolor crayons to color her shoes, hair, hair band, and skin tone. I used my Silhouette Cameo to make the stencil background and paper flowers. Viva Glitter Pen was used on the flowers although it's hard to tell from this photo. A pearl dot was added on Prima flowers and three more along edge of tag. 

I used the stencil with distress inks to add color to my tag. Designer paper from my stash on the dress and bow in her hair. Bling, Viva Glitter Pen and Tim Holtz tissue paper was also used on this tag. The stamp quote is from Great Impressions; G261. White trim added to top of tag. I used one of Ranger's large manila tags, trimmed off 1/2" on length. Finished size 4 1/8" x 8"

We had over 4 inches of snow yesterday, a little more snow today. The temp was down to 7 and -8 wind chill this morning. We are having a high of 17 today February 5, 2014. Calling for more bad weather Thursday. This weather is causing pain with my Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. 

Love is...

I made this cute little tag for my sister. I hope she likes it.
I had a lot of fun making it with the bright colors of distress inks.

The butterfly background was made with a stencil from my Cameo and two distress inks on manila #8 tag. The butterfly image in black was also made by my Cameo. Stamped image was inked with StanOn black ink pad.
