Hi Everyone and a huge hug to followers old and new. Below is my make for this fortnights challenge over at Craft Room Challenge blog. Esther has chosen the theme, which is The Age of Aquarius. You can find all of the details by clicking HERE
I do hope you can join in the fun with us and you can also view the fabulous and inspiring makes of my
DT roomies :-)
The sponsor this fortnight is Tando Creative..................so get creating !!!!
I decided to make a Tag Book, using wrinkle free distress, spritz 'n' flick and marbled stains technique. I have also used the distressing tool, greenery stamp from TH SA Spring Sprung and a Zodiac stamp by Judikins. The digital Image of Aquarius is from the Vintage Zodiac Signs by Nicecrane.
The colour appears to be much greener than in real life. I used Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn Distress ink on the back and front of the Ranger Inkssentials size 10 tag, spritzing and flicking with water once dry.
The digital image was torn around the edges using the TH paper distressing tool and once matted the edges of the pale blue card were also distressed.
The zodiac stamp was placed on tissue and adhered to the back of the book using Inkssentials Glue n Seal
I then trimmed a size 5 tag and a manila envelope and used Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn Distress Paints, spritzing with lots of water. The word Aquarius was generated from my pc, torn and distressed with Vintage Photo DI :-) ( I just had to use it guys!!)
I used Black Soot DI on the TH Dot Fade stencil, which has became a huge favourite. To finish I edged the whole book with Black Soot DI, giving even more definition.
Looking forward to seeing what you create for this wonderful challenge theme. Thank You so much for dropping in and taking the time to comment. I love to read your comments and will return the compliment.

ReplyDeleteOMG...I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about when you're describing the technique you used to make this gorgeous piece of work..LOL! I was like, "Uh, what??" Its' Greek to me, but my gosh, you know what you're doing when it comes to bringing colors and textures to life. Your tag book is sensational. I had a great laugh at your vintage photo DI comment..It must be like a religious tradition with me. I HAVE to use it and old papers...hahaha...ah well, whatever works, right?
