Winter Jing Tag - with DT Lisa

Hi Bloom Girls (and Guys lol) ! It's Lisa here with you today and I have a tag to share using the beautiful Jing Bloom Girl stamp. I really wanted to use her in a different way and to show that you don't have to be an expert at coloring to use these gorgeous stamps.

Can I just say how much I love these cool and lovely, yet earthy colors? 

Here are my steps:

1.The tag was created by first coloring on the tag using Gelatos® and blending with my finger. 

2. I tore off a piece of the polka dotted tissue paper and stamped what I had with the Jing Bloom Girl in white pigment ink and then heat setting with white embossing powder.

3. I then used Gel Medium to adhere the tissue paper to the tag. And heat set.

4. In random areas I used various shades of blue Stamper's Big Brush pens to color the flowers (I also used Gelatos® to color her face.)

5. I applied Whipped Spackle randomly through a stencil to various parts of the tag, Prior to the
Color Bloom Sprays were applied randomly.

6. The edges of the tag were inked using Archival Ink in Jet Black.

7. The snowflakes were something I just had in my stash and thought they'd look cute!

8. The finishing touches were to add the flowers. I love picking and choosing just the right ones, don't you?

I hope you liked this different take on a Winter tag and see how very easy it is to use the supplies you have on hand to make something very different and VERY beautiful.

Have a wonderful week!

Bloom Girl Gift Tags by DT Louise :) :) :)

Hello Hello Fellow Bloom Girl Fans :) :) :)

Today I would like to share with you some tags that I have created using the Instachic stamps and the newer release Jing cling stamp :)

First up I have creates 3 small gift tags ussing the fabulous Instachic range of cling stamps; Joy, Karlie & Paige.

I have heat embossed the stamped images with some lovely gold embossing powder, and also added a bit of dimension with some fussy cutting :)

This last tag is one I created for Prima Marketing to celebrate the birthday of the Prima Creative Director. I have again embossed the stamp image [Jing] and added dimension with some fussy cutting of the flowers, which extend off the edge of the tag :)

Well that is it from me for November, I do hope you are loving the Creative Teams Inspiration so far this month?!!!

Cheers and Happy Creating!

Just Breathe Tag with DT Lisa

Hi Bloomies! ;) It's Lisa with you today and I decided to spread my wings a little and do something I hardly ever, ever, EVERRRRR do: play with Copics. In fact, not too long ago I sold almost all of mine. I have about 25 or so left. So, this will be far from perfect, but I did have fun and I got a LOT of help from my Design Team mate Mindy (thanks sweets!).

I really wanted to NOT make a canvas or a card, so that's why I chose to make a tag. And tags are so fun to make. They can be so many sizes! This one is large at 4 1/8 x 8 1/2 and very 3-dimensional. It can be given as a gift on it's own or hung ON a gift. I just love tags. When was the last time YOU made a tag?

Here are some close-ups of my pretty Bloom Girl Sharon Tag:

I don't pretend to be an expert at Copics. I'm not. But, I sure had fun playing with them and I may break them out again. Who knows? And those of you who know how to use them and use them well? Have my FULL respect. They are not easy to master. Or even play with...ha! But I do hope you enjoyed my tag anyway.

Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday. :)
