This week we've swapped our second lot of tags and ATCs in our little group of crafters but I don't have my swaps yet.... they're on their way ;-)! I can't really give any details on what I did with these because I forgot to make some notes and I've slept a few times since I made them, lol! The theme this time was birds and as I have quite a few bird images it was a bit difficult to choose which to use.
TAGS
I obviously applied colour to my craft mat and spritzed liberally with water before swiping the tag through but for the life of me I can't remember what medium I used, lol! Possibly it was Fibralo pens??? The image is a Chocolate Baroque one.
Same background technique with some stencilling and stamping on top. The main bird image is a Stampendous one and one of my favourites. The lattice die cuts, etc., are bits left from a previous project.
ATCs
I found a couple of Stampbord ATCs that I had played about with a few years ago just as backgrounds so decided to be good and use them.
I sanded a lot of the background off before stamping the PaperArtsy owl. I masked him off and stamped the Inkylicious trees and then added all the colouring and did a bit of scratchwork. Love doing that on Stampbord! I then added microbeads all around the edges.
I sanded this one right back before stamping with Watering Can Archival (wish I'd used black now) and clear embossing. I did some scratchwork with lots of it in each corner and I think I edged with a Krylon pen.
I hope the recipients like them and now it's time to get on with the next swap offerings.
Hugs
