My Cards and Tags: Using Inky Antics' Color Wheel and Alcohol Ink

Our theme for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is using alcohol inks.  I used different shades of blue, yellow, turquoise and green alcohol ink to make the background of this tag.

I started out with a sheet of deli paper that I stenciled dots onto using white paint and a dotted stencil.  Then I dripped alcohol ink onto it in some places and smeared alcohol ink in other places.

Next I cut a tag out of both the deli paper and a sheet of Strathmore Mixed Media paper and glued the deli paper to the thicker Strathmore paper.

Next I cut out some arch shapes using a dog die (it's the outline of the dog's torso) and painted those then outlined them with a black Sharpie.  I glued them to my tag.

I smeared some white acrylic paint over the arches to tone them down and blend them in a bit.

Lastly, I stamped some color palette circles onto the tag, filled in the circles with paint, then stamped a sentiment, cut it out and added it to the tag.

My Cards and Tags: Tag using Inky Antics' Crafty Comments

Food and/or drink is this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog theme.  I made a tag out of the cardboard from a cereal box and added a mini tag from a tea bag for more embellishment.

I cut a tag out of cardboard using a Sizzix Tag Collection die and my Big Shot.  I used a palette knife to smear white paint over it and added some Infusions color stain (A Bit Jaded).  I spritzed it with water, then dried the tag off with a heat tool.

I got out my Mixed Media 2 stamp set and stamped some dots (using Twisted Citron Distress Ink) onto my tag.

I cut some scrap pieces out of Reminiscence patterned paper so that I could glue them onto my tag.  I also grabbed a tea bag tag, painted it and embellished it.

I glued everything together, then stamped a sentiment onto white cardstock using Inky Antics' Crafty Comments stamp set.  I also die-cut some shapes from Jane Davenport's Bubble Palace die.

I glued everything together and then used Prima Water Soluble Oil Pastels to add some little bits of color here and there.  I also stamped the word "Crafty" onto my tea bag tag and this project was done!
