Chocolate tag

Here's another DT contribution for Hobbykunst!

I got this acetate box as a challenge. First thought that came to me was "Shoot, I have no idea what to do with this!"

But then I got to thinking about a girl's best friend - CHOCOLATE!

The result is the following chocolate tag..

I cut a patterned paper from The Girls' Paperie into strips and made a collage with them on a tag.

Then I went over the collage with some background stamps and Distress Paints.

The winged lady (from Christy Tomlinson/Unity Stamp) is coloured with Prisma Color pencils.

Seam binding is coloured with Distress Stains (Peacock feathers and Brushed pewter).

Some close ups...

"Some say that money can't buy you happiness. They've never tasted chocolate"

Sentiment stamp from Kreativ Hobby

I thought it was a good idea to make sure the box wouldn't open (some customers have a bigger sweet tooth than others...), and this SMASH! tape was perfect!

Now all I need to do is to come up with what to do with the other one (I got two boxes).. 

Stay tuned! :)

She decided to leap...

Hey all! Another AJ page from me today. I made this for the lovely Dyan Reaveley's latest Dylusions challenge, where we were to use the snow stencil, Santa's beard stamp and the colour London Blue.

 I used London Blue and Pure Sunshine to make the background. I did some ghosting with the large snow stencil, and drew through one of the big snowflakes with a white pen.

I then used the small snow stencil and dabbed through some of the snowflakes with the silver paint dabber from Ranger + drew through the word "snow".

Using a stamp from the Further around the edge set I made a border around the page. I used the Snow cap stamp pad (Adironac pigment ink). Inside this border I stamped skulls from the Dependable Dotty set with Archival ink Aqua. I just love this skull!

The splatter in the bottom right corner was made by Snow cap paint dabber and the splatter stencil from Crafter's Workshop.

The girl is a stamp from Christy Tomlinson's She Art collection. She is coloured with Crushed Grape, Melted Chocolate, London Blue and Postbox Red. I gave her new legs from the Travelling Travis set, a hat from Love Struck Lucy's set and last, but not least, Santa's beard from Christmas Accessories.

The sentiment on the page is from Say what you mean. The one on the girl is part of the stamp. I coloured it with the Scattered Straw Distress Marker. Both sentiments are drawn around with white pen to make them stand out.

I really enjoyed this challenge! Thank you for making me think, Dyan! :)

Wishing you all a wonderful week end!!
