Hello everyone,
this is Janna with a fun little tag using some of the Suzi Blu stamps!

First I added a thin layer of white Gesso. To create depth, I stamped one of the Small Town Girl sentiments in a light grey, for the next sentiment (from the same stamp set) I chose a black ink. For the images from Nurture Creativity and Always Play I used a bright pink ink.

I mixed black acrylic paint with glimmer glue and spritzed it randomly onto the tag. I also added green glitter glue which can only be seen when the sun hits those parts. This gives a really nice and fun touch to the project. To give the tag a more artsy look I used color pencils and attached linen, tissue paper, masking tape, twine and staples.

It is really easy and fun to create mixed media projects with the Suzi Blu stamps. No matter if it is a rather small creation like this tag or a huge canvas. They are very versatile and great to look at.

Have a lovely day,
Janna

Hi Everyone!  I have a cute little baby card to share with you today using the adorable Sent from Above image from illustrator Tina Wenke.  Tina’s images are always some of my personal favorites .  I just love coloring them and creating cards with them.


I love creating baby cards.  I think they are my favorite type of cards to create (along with Christmas cards) and I have a hard time resisting adorable baby images like this one.   I colored the image with markers and used some patterned papers from My Mind’s Eye’s Stella and Rose paper pad.

Have a great day!

A CREATIVE LIFE – Let’s Lose Our Fear

No Gravatar

Hello!  I’m back today with a fabulous tag by Allie!

Hi, Allie here with a tag using A Creative Life set from Suzi Blu. Isn’t this great advice from Suzi Blu? Let’s just lose our fear and get down to the business of having some creative fun.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Life set on cardstock, then cut it apart into tiles. I inked and sponged each “tile” and added a layer of glossy accents with a paint brush.

 

On the tag itself, I stamped the house from the Creative Life Set and colored it with Copic Markers and Colored Pencils. I added the house piece, that I had stamped on some Jillibean paper. I die cut a Sizzix cloud on a post it note and used it to airbrush some light clouds in a blue sky using my Copic Markers and my ABS system.

 

I doodled a little and added some ink around the edges for extra pop, then added the tiles, and some ribbons and a sweet cupcake from Buttons Galore is tied around the ribbons.

Happy Earth Day!  Today it’s my turn to post and I’ve made a tag for a birthday gift for a dear friend using Bird on Dogwood Branch.  This one must be a fave of the design team.  ;)   Did you see Tracy’s box yesterday?

I drew the colors for my tag from the pretty bag.  It was colored with markers and I used a bit of blue chalk on the background.

You may not tell but the bag is very sparkly so I added a bit of Stickles to the butterfly and flower centers.  The sentiment is popped up on dimensionals.

Have a “tweet” day!

Treasure

Hello friends! I am posting for the last time as a Stampavie Design Team member. I count it a privilege to have served on such a wonderful and talented team of designers. Heidi and Stuart allowed me to create with their wonderful images and it has been a joy. Alas my family demands more of my time and it is time to give them what they need.

For my final project I thought it was appropriate to create a treasure box that will hold some of my favorite Stampavie projects. The box itself is a lovely purple fabric covered box with a window. Choosing an image was a bit of a challenge but I settled on Tina Wenke’s “Bird on a Dogwood Branch”.

The image was colored with Copic markers onto Cougar natural card stock. I added accents with a black glaze pen.

Sniff, sniff. It is time for me to say good bye.

Thank you for a bounty of treasured memories!
