There’s Gnome One Like Dad

Wednesday, May 13th, 2020

The current challenge over on the Lawn Fawnatics blog is “Anything But a Card”. I created this gift tag for Father’s Day using the Lawn Fawn Gnome Sweet Gnome and Toadally Awesome stamp sets along with their Woodgrain Background die. I’m also using some new additions to my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers, the Vintage Blends set to color my images.

Fill Me with Candy!

Thursday, September 7th, 2017

Halloween time is almost here, it’s my favorite time of year! I’ve added a hand stamped tag tied with baker’s twine to these small plastic test tube like treat tubes. They’re a fun and different way to give out candy or small treats this year.

More Emily…

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Here’s another collage inspired by Emily Dickinson. This one is on a chunky canvas and I tried something new for the background, I stitched organza fabric onto of the vintage music paper. I think it adds a nice soft romantic touch. The focal point is a stained wooden tag with vintage book paper, a silhouette on canvas, the quote and a bird charm. I also added a muslin flower with a vintage button and wrapped some lace around the canvas too.

I’m melting………..

Sunday, March 6th, 2011

Melting wax that is. I decided I hadn’t played with bees wax for awhile so I got my little crock pot out and played around with it the other day. I made some more captured fairy in a jar art cards, like I did in the past, dipping the collaged jars into the bees wax, they always turn out cute. I also did a bird collage I’m really happy with. I started with a wooden tag and collaged vintage music sheet and images of a bird and egg and the word “fly” cut from a vintage book. Then I took a brush and covered the tag with the melted wax. One of the cool things about wax is it can be remelted. So in a couple spots were it was too thick and cloudy I used my heat tool and melted it a bit to thin it out. You can also use a mini iron to melt the wax as well. I then added some game pieces that spell “egg” and faux grass for a nest. I covered a 5 x 7 canvas board in vintage dictionary paper, mounted the tag in the middle on cardstock and then added a few vintage buttons.

Here’s a couple of my fairy art cards:
