12 Tags of 2013: June

I know that I've missed a month here and there, but this months tag

just spoke to me, so last night I followed along with Tim's step by step tutorial,

here, and I whipped up this bad boy!

I splurged and got my very first distress paint dabber!

I gotta tell you guys... it's really cool!

And super vibrant!

 

I'm off to the studio for some more creative time! 

Hope to have another post later!

It's my party

Happy Thursday all my bloggy friends!

I had a snippet of time to craft today, and I went at it!

My girlfriend Sasha was admiring a bookmark I was using at work last night, and

she showed me her bookmark.... it was an old napkin!

That simply is not acceptable, so I let her rifle through my digi's and she pointed out this one

from Saturated Canary.

This of course immediately brings to mind the song "It's my Party" by Leslie Gore.

I colored her up using my copics, prismacolor markers, and a bic fine tip sharpie!

I die cut her out, and also the little sign is a die cut as is the heart!

The graphic black and white background was some tissue paper that DH was gonna throw away... I saved it from a life of misery in a landfill!!! 

Here is the close up of the digi!

I'm still struggling with coloring hair....

I hope you like what you've seen today!

31 Days of Halloween: Day 22

I had a lot of fun with this zombie image from Saturated Canary

I had been eying it for a while, but money's been tight, so I was lucky enough to win 

This and another digi last week! 

So I decided to do another Halloween tag! 

I've been trying out Tim Holtz marbled stain technique.

I don't have the products he suggests, but I improvised, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

So the challenge at Saturated canary challenge is a color challenge

Lots of deep dark colors... Most of which I don't have!

So I did what I could with what I do have!

Zombie is colored with copies and prismacolor markers.

I added some glossy accents to her eyes and the kitty's eyes.

Here's her close up....

Don't you just love the little zombie kitty too?

I tried to color him like my crafty kitty, but he's a little off...

Then I made some embellishments... Again I improvised and used what I had at home!

The heart is a die cut from grunge paper, inked up with vintage photo and then 

Covered in rock candy crackle

And the "boo" is typed on that little blue typewriter

Finally I finished the tag off with a cat I inked up using a Tim holtz mask, and the cut hin out and covered in the rock candy crackle

So that is day 22...

I spent a good part of the morning in the craft room, so stay tuned for some more blogs today!

Happy crafting!
