Thanks so much to my latest followers, it is wonderful to have you along on my crafty journey!
Before I show you my project I want to say a huge thank you to my lovely friend
Jenny (Buttons). We had a crafty day together this week, our first time meeting and we had a wonderful time. Jenny is everything I thought she would be; charming, witty, kind, generous, chatty and so friendly - and very talented! The time just flew by and we had fun sharing ideas and techniques. I recommend meeting up with a crafty friend if you are able! If you have not visited Jenny before please follow this
LINK, you will not be disappointed and her Tim tag this month is stunning.
Now on to my project! If you saw my post on the Chemist,
here, then you will know how much I love the new Chemist stamp set by Tim Holtz. I also love the Steampunk Girls set of images from the wonderful Nicecrane Designs which you can find
here. One of the girls looks like she is set in a Chemist's shop so this was a marriage made in heaven. for me!
I used a Ranger No. 12 tag which I folded in half. This is the front cover. I stamped the Chemist and then masked him off and used Tim's fabulous new stencils in Burlap and Splatters to create a textured background. I added the chemical formula script stamp from the set and the words 'fragile and glass' from Tim's Remnant Rubs. The glass vial has been filled with watered down Distress Re-inker and I added an Arsenic label. The ribbon has been coloured with Weathered Wood DI.
The inside page has been created using the same Burlap and Splatters stencils. The book and feather stamp is from the Chemist set again and I created a Bill of Sale from a Wendy Vecchi stamp set (Art Works) which I overstamped with the chemical formula again. The books were stamped and then masked off to create the background, then coloured with Promarkers.
And here is the Steampunk Girl from the Nicecrane sheet. I think she is fabulous! She has been coloured with Promarkers and Distress Markers. The torn notebook at the top and bottom is from a die gifted to me by Jenny (I love this die!). The girl is looking quite demure but since she is purchasing arsenic, I am not so sure - I will leave it to imagination as to what she is going to use it for.........
Just to finish off the back page of the tag booklet I used the formula stamp again and also this fabulous Wendy Vecchi (Barcode) stencil. There are so many fun images on this stencil, I can see this being one of my favourites.
A quick look at the finished tag booklet. Hope you like it. Thanks so much for looking and I truly appreciate it if you take the time to comment. Big hugs, Anne x
