Tag it On - Coastal, Mica, Flourish

Here is my entry for Tag it On where the theme is:

coastal, mica, flourish and always one real stamp.

My flourish stamp is from Stampin'Up.

The mica is in the turquoise ink by Lindy's Stamp Gang.

The drawing/painting is by me. Li'l Redhead is my character

based on my granddaughter when she was a child.

Edit: I just noticed while browsing the DT's entries, that the

mica was supposed to be a flake, not like I have (a part of my ink).

Blog Challenge Garden & TIO & Pecreativ

For Blog Challenge Garden (Tag Tuesday) the theme this week is the letter A. My A stands for automobile.  For Tag it On the challenge is Time to make a Getaway. I travel mostly by automobile.

My tag is a paper collage using old postcards and maps. The letter A is stamped in clear ink with a stamp from Stamp Francisco and embossed in copper embossing powder.

After looking at the map in today's paper, I discovered the epicenter of the earthquake yesterday was 23 straight miles from our house. No wonder everything was shaking so badly. I've looked from attic to crawl space and inside and out and have found no damage.

Thursday Editing:
Irmi says that this also qualifies for Pecreativ Challenge.

Tag it On - It's a Horse's Life

Here is my entry for Tag it On using a horse. I stamped my Bazzill cardstock with a hand-carved stamp and embossed it with Moonglow's Midnight Copper/Obsidian embossing powder. The cowboy on the horse is one of Karen's freebies at Graphics Fairy.

Fabric Tag

These trees were stamped and heat embossed onto an alcohol inked glossy cardstock. I cut them out and adhered them to this scrap of fabric.

This began as a Christmas card to someone in Croatia I used to swap ATCs with. Apparently she had moved because my card came back to me. I found her Facebook and left a message but I didn't hear back. So, I have disassembled the card to make this tag for Wednesday Stamper (tags) and Tag it On (fabricate it, use words).

Tag it On - Face the Music

Tag it On's theme this time is: Face the Music. I guess this is open to interpretation so I just chose to do music and a face.

My background is golden color cardstock that I ran through the music cuttlebug folder. I then treated it to some smears of brown distress ink and then some buffing gold. I decided to do a new rendition of my Li'l Redhead for this tag, using Prismacolor watercolor pencils as well as some Derwent pencils.

You can see it enlarged by clicking on the image.

The music stamp in the upper right side is from a background stamp with no identifying marks on it.

Tag it On

Here is my entry for Tag it On where we are depicting on a stamped tag how time is flying as we get nearer to Christmas. The stamped white part is actually a cutout in the black tag.

Colour Create, Rainbow Lady, TIO, Play Date Cafe

This red, gold, and cream color piece was done for the Colour Create Challenge. The Japanese items were sent to me by Frankie.

The 3 tags are (left) Rainbow Lady's Challenge where the theme is black and white and silver; (center) Tag it On where the theme is Cuttlebug or other embossing machine; (right) Play Date Cafe where the theme is Color Splash - black and white with a touch of pink, copper, or gold..

Tag it On! - Distress

Here is my tag for Tag it On! I have used Tim Holtz's Distress Ink in photo and Distress Powder in tan. I also used Stampendous gold embossing powder. The medallion was made by using the cuttlebug folder and then embossing it in various golds and cutting it out. My stamps are by Hearts in Touch and All Night Media. I hope this is what distressing means. It was fun to make.

Text it to me - mostly purple

Frankie's Tag It On challenge is to make a mostly purple tag and use lots of text on it. Purple being one of my present favorite colors made this an easy task. I ran up to the art room, cut out a piece of watercolor paper to the shape of a tag, sprayed it with my new Smoky Sapphire Moon Shadow mists, along with some home-mixed purple ink and mica and dabbed the whole background with purple Starburst ink. I have very few text stamps so I used what I had. Hope this is purple enough. Enlarge it to see just how purple it really is.

This entry also fits for Wednesday Stamper, since it's an open theme.

Another thing I've made this week was my set of event calendars.

Tag It On! - Bookmark

Tag it on has an unusual tag for us today, a bookmark. I've made this one from cardstock sprayed with homemade mica mists and some Moon Shadow Gossamer Gold and Landlubber's Green mists.  The stamps I used are from the Hearts and Love collection. I stamped in clear ink and embossed in fine gold EP. Blogspot just wouldn't make this image larger, so please click on image to see the gold embossing.

TIO - Rainbow Lady

This is a double entry: Passion for Tag It On and Script for Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog. My tag is made of watercolor paper that has been treated to a liberal dosing of glimmer mists of several colors, plus some script and swirls. My lovers image is a Hearts in Touch stamp.

TIO - Flowers

The theme for Tag It On this week is "Say it with Flowers."  My tag was stamped with Hearts in Touch stamp. The flower is a freebie from Dover Publications.

Tag It On! - Simplicity

Here is a little tag I made using watercolors this morning. I draw this flower often because it is so simple. The stamp I used is "Dream". The theme of TIO this week is Simplicity and Serenity.

TIO - Butterflies - Dragonflies

This tag was made using an old Christmas card, an angel image from another challenge, and my tiny butterfly stamp. The theme for Tag it on is butterflies and dragonflies.

TIO - Theme Thursday

Walk Like an Egyptian is the theme for TIO. My tag has some images I got by googling. The word: Egypt was stamped in StaZon.

Theme Thursday's challenge is to make a tag.

Tag It On! - Rhubard, Crumble, and Custard

My tag this week for Tag It On! has the colors of pink and yellow (I'm not sure I've ever combined those two before), texture from gesso and netting, embellishments (brad and netting), and several stamped flowers in black, pink, and yellow inks.

TIO

This orange tag was made for Tag it on. I started with some paper I had made a while back using scraps of computer paper and tissue paper. I dabbed the paper with orange and gold Moonglow colors, stamped the flowers with some of my stamps, and deposited this handmade fairy onto the tag. Not being into fairies too much, I have no stamps of that sort. This was fun to do. 

Tag It On - Blossom

Well, here is my second tag ever, I think. Frankie is starting a new tag challenge, called Tag It On or TIO. Next week will be the official start, but she is allowing us to "practice" this week with the theme, Blossom.

My tag was cardstock that I covered with some green glimmer mist and interference gold PearlEx. The rose is from Dover Publications. I used a bit of dyed gauze and some ribbons.
