Alice's Tag

By
Alice in Wonderland is always a favorite.
She got into my head and I couldn't stop thinking about her...so my next tag is all about Alice.


I began with our jumbo tag and grabbed the "Alice" colors of paper, along with embellishments and the original art stamp plate from the Muse. 



I like to get double duty from supplies, so I often use things that were meant for other things! (does that make sense?)

Layering the papers I found that I really liked the soft line of the black and white die cut paper placed on the bold chevron stripe. To round out the patterns I chose the fleur de lis.

I created a pocket and inserted the mini playing cards of the Queen of Hearts and a Jack of Spades.   

Nex, I stamped Alice, cut out from the stamp plate and used our acrylic block with double sided tape to add her image on bold red paper.  I bit of washi tape and a small rose charm finished her.

          

Then a bit of bling with rhinestone cup chain was added top and bottom. The crowning grace is the voluminous red and black seam binding. I hope you enjoyed seeing Alice on a tag.

Supplies:
Muse Alice Stamp Plate
Donna Salazar INKX inkpad
Die Cut Paper
Washi Tape
Charm
Minature Playing cards
Seam Bindings
PPA glue
Double side tape
Acrylic Block
Cup Chain

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Rolling with my Gel Press

By
I love experimenting with different ways to create texture and interest on my Gel Press and for many years now I have turned to fun foam to help do this when monoprinting.  I love to team the fun foam with my dies to create my own stamps and texture plates.  I used this techniques for my prints in January that I shared here on the blog. There are lots of dies that have detail, meaning lots of scrap pieces which you can randomly stick onto cardboard giving you a stamp as well as using the actually die cut shape as a stamp.  Another idea is using them attached to a toilet roll to create a brayer like roller was shared at my local scrapbook store and on a video by Birgit Koopsen last year.  I love playing with this method. The toilet roll is slipped over a paint roller handle. Here you can see some of my texture creations that I have on hand for my play today. One texture I love is created using a piece of burlap ribbon, which I have stuck onto a toilet roll. My first layer ab
