Little marine Tags...

Hello my dear crafty friends:

I am back with some simple, fun and easy projects to make...some little "marine" tags...
all made with "Memory Box" dies and for the tag base made with "Elisabeth Craft Designs" die tags.

This first one uses the "shorebirds" die from Memory Box

 with some "seaweeds"

this one uses the "Seagulls" die and the waves were taken from the "lighthouse"

and the last ones featuring the "ocean lighthouse"..
with a snowy background and an ombré technique
(I used the splatter tool from "Ranger" with some white acrylic paint over an ombré background made with 3 shades of distress inks of blue)

 detail, of the "splatter"

and a sun red one

the rock is from the clouds' die

Ok my friends, hope all is well with you 

and until next time 

I wish you a very creative and crafty day...

Hugs

How to Color your Die Cuts; Guest Designer at BlueMoon Scrapbooking

Hello Dear Stamper Friends:

Today I am very excited to share with you all this tutorial that I posted over  at BlueMoonScrapbooking  

as a Guest Designer 

on how to give some color to your die cuts!

Two simple and quick ways to color your Dies...

1- using inks and daubers

 2- and/ or coloring with markers those intricate cuts....

On both cards I am using the NEW Holiday 2015 release of dies from "Memory Box"
See supplies below...

On this first card; a "thank you" card,  the intricate dies were colored with markers...

The background was sponged with distress inks and sponges....

1- when die cutting, do not tear apart the die...color on top "randomly" with different shades of a same color of markers, I used 3 different shades: a light, medium and a darker one...
No particular way, no need to be careful...this goes VERY quickly!

When you tear it apart this is the result a multi color branch....

For the word: I trace with a ruler lines of color with the markers;
start with one or two lines of a lighter purple over the word, move the ruler trace some more lines with a medium tone and finish with a darker color...

a last view

For this second card, the "Christmas" one; the die was color with Sponged daubers and inks...

Sponge one color (green) 2 or 3 times in different spots;
continue with a second color and so on until you cover the entire die and Voilà!

The result:  a die colored with several inks....
