Craftytrog's Inky Adventures

Here’s the final tag! I used Glimmer mists to colour my roses, and stazon on the faux metal.

Nearly there! Here’s my version of Day 11

This one was hard work and very messy! I used stazon to colour the metal instead of alcohol ink. My photos show the tag with the flash, & without. You can see tim’s tag & instructions here

I’m really pleased with how this one turned out! I used the gorgeous Crafty Individuals Christmas images book. You can see Tim’s tag and instructions here

I’m determined to catch up with my tags before Christmas! Here are a couple I made at my friend Lucy’s on monday.

Here’s my version! Didn’t have any snowy stuff, so I decorated my PaperArtsy tree with candy cane stickles. My masking tape wouldn’t work, but I quite like the distressed look of this tag. Tim’s tag is here

Here’s my version of Day 5. I used stamps by PaperArtsy, Art Journey, & Hot off the Press, & used silver krylon to colour my german scrap. You can find the instructions for Tim’s tag here

Ok, I know we’re now onto Day 8, but I had to order some supplies! I used stamps by The Artistic Stamper on my tag, and a square fragment charm wrapped with copper tape. you can find the instructions for Tim’s tag here

It’s incredible! I’m actually up to date with Tim’s tags! I’m typing this with seriously alcohol ink stained fingers! Those tartan backgrounds are very addictive, as Tim said. Having found the dotty background stamp on the Urban Tapestry plate, I decided that the bird looked like a robin, so that became my main image. This was a quick and fairly simple tag to make, but I think it’s my favourite so far. Tim’s version is here.

Shock horror!! This is my 2nd post today, and it’s my version of Tim’s Day 2 tag. I used Heat It Enchanted Gold EP for the frame, as I didn’t have Antique Linen Distress EP. The metal flowers were fun to make, though my hand ached a bit after! I didn’t have Tim’s metal corners, so I used a little metal holly sprig instead. The swirl stamps are by Crafty Individuals. Tim’s tag & instructions are here.

2 tips –

1. don’t drop your long fasteners onto a carpet that hasn’t been hoovered in a while! I did it twice!

2. don’t hammer your finger! Did that twice too!

Ok, I know this started 2 days ago, but I’ve been busy! Anyway, here’s my version of the Day 1 tag. I haven’t got any of Tim’s Christmas stamps, so I used what I already had, but the techniques were Tim’s, and you can see them explained here. Hope you like! I think that Hampton Art snowman is rather cute!
