Find Delight - DT Project by Hels

Gooodly Morning Snazzyfans!  I am back again with another taggy offering using the gorgeous Prima Engraver Collection that we DT girlies have been using this past month.  Before I waffle on, please do remember that Snazzy's very kindly offer a discount on the DT Kit that we are using... so  you can grab yourself the same kit we have used... and get a bargain into... erm... the bargain!  HERE are all the deets how to snaffle one for yourself :O))

Another tag from me, this time a smaller one.  This is a normal size 8 manila tag from Ranger.  I used Distress Inks to colour the tag:  starting with Antique Linen, I blended over the entire tag and then added Frayed Burlap DI around the edges.  Around the very edgy bits I added Brushed Corduroy DI - this colour tones perfectly with the Engraver collection.  Next I did a bit of stamping for the background using the Engraver stamps and Ochre Archival Ink.  I added a smidge more interest using a clock stencil and Frayed Burlap DI.

Next I used some of the offcuts of paper from my previous project and made a little banner piece... adding stickyback metallic pearls for a bit of bling and then sticking it directly to the tag base.  I had a Grungepaper diecut hinge kicking about on my desk, so I coloured that with Brushed Corduroy and Walnut Stain DI and popped that onto the bottom of the tag.  The flowers in the kit are to die for so I had to use those aswell... spritzing them with Black Marble Dylusions and Cosmic Shimmer Ancient Copper to add a bit of sparkle.   The sentiment was made up using Idea-ology Chit Chat Stickers and popped onto 3d foam to make the sentiment pop a little more.  In the kit are some little pearly swirls so I stuck those on after adding a smidge of gilding wax to them to tone them in... how pretty!

Anyways, that's all from me for now... don't forget you could be in with a chance of winning the fabby DT Kit that we have been using too... simply leave a comment on this post HERE.   Thanks for looking... TTFN!

Memories - DT Project by Hels

Goodly Morning Snazzyfans and a very happy Monday to you all!  If you have been following the blog this past month you will have seen some gorgeous creations from my teamies using the fabby Prima Engraver Collection of papers, stamps and flowers.  CLICK HERE to see the collection we have been working with and also... remember you can grab yourself a goodly bargain because our DT kit is for sale at a bargain price too :O))  

My first offering this month is a mahoosive Size 12 tag from Ranger.  The tag base is manila in colour and to make it match with the colour theme of the Engraver papers, I used Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain DI's to blend around the edges.   I cut the tag into two pieces so I could then attach it back together with eyelets and a bit of hemp.  I cut some of the papers (they are so gorgeous... almost too difficult to cut them lol) to fit onto the tag in layers... making a focal point on the bottom half of the tag with the clockface.  I added a Tim Holtz Fragment to the centre of the clock to make it pop more.

The cut papers were all edged with Walnut Stain DI and I scruffed up the edges to make it a little more shabby looking.  I added a couple of pieces of the ruler papers so the top bit of the tag as an arty addition.

The sentiment was stamped onto an offcut of paper using Jet Black Archival Ink and then edged with Vintage Photo to make it blend in nicely.   One of the papers has some fabby circle designs on it... and it just so happened that I had three more Fragments that fitted over the circles perfectly... so they were glued on with Glossy Accents and when cut out, edged with more Vintage Photo just so there weren't any white cut bits showing.

The embellishing was fun indeedily... the flowers in the Engraver collection are stunning... the larger ones have a broken glass style of glitter attached to the petals, once I had given them a good spritz with Black Marble Dylusions and Ancient Copper Cosmic Shimmer they really came to life.

The butterflies are also from the stamp set... stamped onto the papers again, using Black Archival and Walnut Stain DI to edge them around to make them match in... and I added some metal spinners to the middles for bodies.
