Good morning everyone, I cannot believe we are into August already .... seriously where does the time go!
For the next five weeks the design team will be working with the new 7Dots Studio 9th Wave Paper Collection in conjunction with Hero Arts .
Before we begin though I'd like to announce the winner of last months Random Comment winner ....
.... which was No 15 ..... Congratulations Beryl, please email Snazzy's with your contact details to claim your prize.
For my first project I opted for an inky splatty tag, inspired by Anna Dawbrowska (of course). Those lucky enough to have secured a class at Snazzy's do not have long to wait now .... excited!!
I started out by using the {Stormy Sea} paper from the 7Dots Studio 9th Wave Collection cutting two different size tag templates. I then stamped an image from the Grafitti Glam Collection by Traci Bautista using Archival Ink (Jet Black). Using the Hero Arts Stencil in this months kit, I sprayed Dylusions Ink Spray {Vibrant Turquoise}, again using the Vibrant Turquoise & Black Marble to create ink splats over the background.
I then added some Tim Holtz Ideaology Remnant Rub Ons to the top left of the backround. Using a left over scrap of paper from the collection, I stamped the {Dragonfly} image from Stampers Anonymous Classics #1 collection, I used Distress Ink {Vintage Photo} to distress around the edges. I repeated the previous step with the word {Voyage}. I then adhered Clear Epoxy Stickers from the Sunrise/Sunset collection from Prima.
The wooden leaf embellishments have also been sprayed with Vibrant Turquoise then stamped with Archival Ink using the Traci Bautista background image.
I've then layered some more embellishments .... Ideaology Ticket along with some twine and a Wood Icon ruler from the Sunrise/Sunset Collection by Prima.
To be in with a chance of being this months Random Comment Winner, simply leave a comment on this first post.
I will be back again later in the week with another project to share. Until then thanks for stopping by.
