Tutorial Friday for Miriam's Crafting Supplies

Yesterday I hosted a steam punk themed blog hop and I had a few people comment about a technique I did so I thought I would do the technique for Miriam's Crafting Supplies and Tsunami Rose Digital Paper.

Here is the tag I made and notice the dress form and bumblebee in the background. Those are both part of a stamp technique I do.

I started out by stamping my image on the digital paper from Tsunami Rose Digital Paper. I used the stamp set I used the stamp set Garden Chic from Ecogreen Crafts. I also used a set from this company yesterday for my Steam Punk card I made. I used Color Box Mix'd Media ink in pewter on the stamp. This is a very thick pigmented ink.

I then took my colored chalks and colored over just the stamped designs. I haven't tried cream chalks yet so I don't know how they would work.

That is all there is to this fun and simple technique.

Now I will show you the rest of what I did to make the tag.

I fussy cut the Eiffel Tower from the digital paper.

I took paper flowers and used my Perfect Pearls glitter mist to color them to match the flowers on the paper.

I wanted a rose bud and that was accomplished by taking the outer pedals off the flower and then spritzing it.

Finally I put my tag together...

I finished the tag by adding rhinestones in clear, pink and yellow from Miriam's Crafting Supply.

November Challenge for Miriam's Crafting Supplies

Today I would like to share a tag that I made for the Miriam's Crafting Supplies November challenge. This month we were asked to use the beautiful digital journal New Beginnings from Tsunami Rose and a bronze tone metal flower accent  and half pearls from Miriam's Crafting Supplies.

I don't make to many tags so I was very happy with the way this one came together and it's final look. I would love to see what you create this month and hope you will join us for this newest challenge at Miriam's Crafting Supplies.

Chalk N Stock October Challenge

Welcome and I hope you enjoy my latest project. I made this adorable Halloween tag using a digital stamp from Bugaboo stamps for the  Chalk N Stock October Challenge of whom I DT for.

I printed out my image and then used chalk to color it. I fussy cut it and attached it to the tag. I had already embossed the spider web and added some brown glitter glue. I felt it needed something else to even it out so I grabbed my half pearls from Miriam's Crafting Supply and they were the perfect last touch.

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to see how you use chalk in your projects.

Think Pink and Link to Pink for the Cure

Today I am guest designer over at Lynn's blog: Her Craftiness. I was honored to be quest designer once before on her blog and am even more honored now not just because she is a fantastic lady who let's me get creative on her blog but because this time around I am blogging for breast cancer awareness. This is a disease that effects millions of women and men each year. Progress has been made and some types of breast cancer are not considered a death sentence any long but there are still many kinds that are and that is why we keep our vigil each year for the month of October to wear pink, use pink notepads and pens and just plain think pink for a cure and awareness.

I am filling this special box with yummy goodies and giving it to a neighbor who just lost her sister a few weeks back to cancer. I'm hoping it'll cheer her up some and also serve as a reminder for a yearly check up.

The box is part of a collection from SVGcuts entitled: Charlotte's Favor Boxes cut at pre-set settings.
