Advent in November: Day 8

Welcome to Advent in November.  The inspiration for this blog post can be found here.   Information about how I started my tags can be found here and here and my Advent Journal here.

Another tag with modelling paste through a stencil and coloured with Pan Pastel.   You may have noticed that I rarely use the whole of a stencil across the whole of a tag.

For this tag I wanted the angel to be facing the other way.  So I applied the ink to the stamp and stamped it onto a piece of acetate and the pressed the acetate onto the tag.  I rather liked the faded look so didn't try again putting much more ink on the stamp!  I download a child's colouring sheet via Google and used it on the tag.  I printed the image out and then shaded over the reverse with a 3B pencil before turning it over and drawing over the image with a sharp HB pencil.  I went over the light image on the tag with a pen.

I assembled the tag and inked the edges.

 

Both sides of the tag.

Advent in November: Day 7

Welcome to Advent in November.  The inspiration for this blog post can be found here.   Information about how I started my tags can be found here and here and my Advent Journal here.

This tag had been dry embossed using an embossing folder and the Cuttlebug.   I added the colour to the raised parts using Pan Pastels.   I added the number and inked the edges of the tag.

I used the same angel stamp and inked the edges of the cut up verse.

I assembled the tag adding some washi tape and inking the edges.

The two sides.

Advent in November: Day 6

Welcome to Advent in November.  The inspiration for this blog post can be found here.   Information about how I started my tags can be found here and here and my Advent Journal here.

This tag had been heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  The image is a stamp that I put the embossing ink on to and stamped.   I put a thinned down coat of acrylic paint over the image.  I added some ribbon, the number and inked the edges.

I stamped the angel image using black Archival ink.  I cut up the verse and inked the edges.

I assembled the tag adding some washi tape and inking the edges.

The two tags before sticking them together.

I know some of you like to see the image of what I am ding rather than trying to imagine it. Here's what the first six tags look like together pegged onto my board.

I downloaded some child's colouring page images of the armour of God and transferred them onto the tags.   I inked round the edges of the tags.

I added the green star to add a bit of colour.

Thanks for stopping by.
