12 tags of 2014 – december…

Hi friends,
Tim's December tag is amazing, so I created a tag this week.

I paint a tag with picket fence distress paint and let it dry， spray the tag with only a few sprays of distress stain，spray over that with metallic distress stain and mist with water to blend，begin drying the stains with a heat tool，add more spritz little water droplets and continue to dry，the tiny “bubbles” will start to open up in the inks revealing the white base coat of paint. Stamp the snowflake background with Archival Watering Can on the background. Place the vellum tag into the dots texture embossing folder and emboss it. Stitch them together.

Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!
Until Next Time,
Happy New Year !!
Hugs & Love,

Ann

season's greetings

Hi everyone,
Nowadays many people no longer send christmas card. Instead they express their greetings to their friends by email. But, I still love to sent christmas card .

The background I used Tim Holtz Stencils Holiday Knit with TEXTURE PASTE . The greeting is the Season’s Greetings dies from Simon. I coated the die cuts in VersaMark and then applied Ranger Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder.

I hope you all enjoy the Holiday Card.
Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!
Until Next Time,
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !!

閃亮,繽紛,耶誕節ATC交換

大家好:
這個月參加夏玉辦的ATC交換，主題是"閃亮,繽紛,耶誕節"。我用WINK OF STELLA BRUSH和貼鑽來表現"閃亮"；刷色加圓圈內拍三種不同顏色表現"繽紛"；看到的聖誕樹當然就是"耶誕節"最佳代表。希望大家喜歡!!

另外也做了一張耶誕卡

祝福大家! 耶誕快樂!!

冬景ATC交換

大家好:
這是我發起的ATC交換活動"冬景"。首次嘗試用極細亮粉呈現朦朧的景致，希望大家喜歡!

我先蓋上樹林及麋鹿，接著刷色，整面貼上雙面膠上極細亮粉，最後蓋上字章，完成。

有冬天冷冷的感覺嗎??

祝福大家! 耶誕快樂!!

Mandy老師『水果』ATC交換活動

大家好:

這個月ATC交換的主題是"水果"，我只有一顆水果章，所以就派它上場了。

沒有繁複的技法，就是復古印台上色、刷色，再刮一下邊製造復古的感覺，如此而已，希望大家喜歡!

謝謝大家!!

Hi everyone,
It’s hard to believe that this is the last month of 2014，and this challenge is our last challenge of 2014. For the next 2 weeks (Dec 15-28)，We have a fun challenge over at Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog #44-When Nature Calls! We want you "Feature something on project that's found in nature - living or inanimate". I'm so happy to share my DT inspiration project for you.

We're being sponsored by the wonderful Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet (Prize: $10 gift certificate).

I used Sunflower Collage by Gingerloft with Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet.

I distress the edge ，created the vintage feel! Added the pine cone on the tag. Hope you like it!!

Please check out our blog to see what the rest of the Design Team created & while you're there，read up on our rules so you can play along with us! I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with...have fun everyone & happy stamping!
