More embellishments

Still posting embellishments for the swap. I tried to do a variety of different things and styles, so the diva on the receiving end gets an assortment (we did 12 in the swap).

The first is a tag made from a scrap outline of a cougar SVG from Nicolas Gomez, I added some embossing, ribbon and a stamp (friends, stampin up).
The next two go together. The stamp set is from Inkadinkado (how fun is that to say?). I colored it, inked the edges, added lace and a brad (hard to tell, but it is inked dark red).
I used the same stamp as above. The charm I got ages ago at Walmart (a quarter for 4) in the clearance isle. At the time I couldn't pass it up, but honestly, I just used the first one a month ago! Anyways, I stamped and colored, used stickles to glitter glue it to the back of the charm (the glitter is hard to see in the picture).

Alcohol Inks

I got some alcohol inks on sale for a great price and have been playing with them. These are some of the tags I did for a swap at Creative Scrapbook Divas.
What you see as white is heat embossed, then I inked and reheated it to bring the white forward again. I'm learning all kinds of new tricks :)

Flower Tag

Another one of the tags I've been working on.
Just using up some scraps I've had forever, and the roses are heat embossed.

Butterfly Tag 2

Another tag-no surprises there! Details, details! The charms I've had forever, along with the ribbon. The butterflies were cut out of a piece of patterned paper. Used a swirly scrap, the tag was a SCAL cut out of white cardstock which I stamped with a dollar clear stamp from Joanns (staz on ink) before soaking in tea, to color it. Inked the edges, and that is pretty much it!

Butterfly tag

I will be showcasing a lot of tags in the next week or so, as I just completed 15 tags for a swap. I'm not huge on tags, I don't use them too much myself, but I enjoyed making them, non-the-less.
Background paper is a wallpaper sample, beads, ribbon, and charms from the stash. The butterfly was cut out of a patterned paper, not sure who by.

Flapper Tag

Ok, so I'm trying to do vintage for a swap I'm a part of. I have 15 tags to do and this is the first. I'm not sure it really counts as vintage... but she is a flapper. . .
Unfortunetly I don't remember and didn't document where I got this darling image from :(
The 1920s was cut on my cricut and the brown is two bread ties that came stuck together, I inked them up and strung a ribbon from my stash.

Challenges:
All Sorts-recycle something-bread ties
Digi's With Attitude! Challenge (it's been awhile since I've played with you)- digi people
Do You Stack Up-patterned paper

Vintage Tag 3

I like playing tag today! This one is a little different, but still very vintage, at least I don't see very many of these driving around :)
The image is from the very Creative Mind of Sylvie, thanks for all you do! The ribbon is RibbonFX (yes, that one is still on its spool). The paper is some I've had since I began scrapbooking, probably from WalMart or Target. The darker brown you see on the edges and behind the image is just a little Prang watercoloring. Challenges:
Lots to do- distressed tags
Creative Inspirations- tags
All Sorts- Autumn colors- brown, red and green
Polly Craft- Fall Colors-brown, red, green
One Stop Craft Challenge- Fashion throughout the years (I'm sure this was high fashion at some point)

Vintage Tag 2

The vintage lady is from Digital Two for Tuesday, there are some great images over there for free, so be sure to check it out! Again, working with the vintage distressed tag theme in mind...
The ribbon (as it always seems to be) is just from my stash, the ink is Stampabilities. I distressed the edges using the blade of scissors (I don't have all the fancy tools, so I make do). The paper I painted a long time ago, just playing with it and still had lying around-I think it worked great after I added a touch of brown watercolors to the edges to make it stand out (had I brown ink, I probably would have gone that route, but I use what I have).
Challenges-
Lots To Do-distressed tags
Polly Craft-autumn colors (yellow, brown and a touch of red and green in the image)
One Stop Craft Challenge-Fashion through the years
All Sorts-Autumn colors (yellow, brown, green, red, yellow)

Vintage Tag 1

I've had my eye on some vintage ladies from Digital Two for Tuesday and the challenge at Lots To Do-distressed tags looked like it would fit perfectly.
The green ink is certainly celery from Stampin Up. I inked around the image, on the background paper, inked the ribbon and the top of the paper on the bottom part of the tag (difficult to see in the pictures, I'm sorry about that). Both ribbons are from my stash (hardly any of them have a wrapper still on them with a brand).
A couple other challenges (other than the Lots To Do, mentioned above):
All Sorts-autumn colors (green and brown)
One Stop Craft Challenge-Fashion through the Years
Polly Craft-autumn Colors (brown and green)
and that's it-hope you like her!
