Paper Scraps and Bottle Caps

Hi Everyone it's Danie here today, with a Christmas Tag to share with you all, created using up some of my paper scraps and a bottle cap.

I have been working on a number of projects for Christmas using the Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium Papers from Altered Pages and had some bits of these delightful papers left over so I thought I would make some tags. I started by taking a Manilla Tag and using this as a template cut out the same shape from a piece of the Blue Snowflake Paper. To this I have stamped and embossed some white snowflakes and added a small clear rhinestone to the center of each snowflake. I then inked the edges with some Paris Trunk Walnut Ink and adhered to the Manilla Tag. For the center of my tag I have layered some Gold Metallic Ribbon and Natural Colour Netting under a scrap of the Toy Paper.

To coordinate and add another touch of Christmas I have punched out with a 1" Circle Punch Santa's face from one of the images from the Santa Santa Santa AP-1111 Collage Sheet and adhered him into the center of a flattened Bottle cap using some Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer to both adhere and seal the image into the center

Once dry I then added some gold glitter glue to the outer rim of the bottle cap so that it matched my metallic ribbon which I used as a tie for this tag also. And there you have it a Christmas Tag using Paper Scraps and Bottle Caps.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great weekend!

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.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
