HDH164-Bare Bones.

 

I have participated again this week over at Haunted Design House Challenge Blog. A real challenge it was too, but overall I am pleased with the outcome of my efforts.

 

 

 

Our next challenge is :

Bare Bones



So basically this challenge entails not using embellishments, so CAS (clean and simple).

 

 

POISON TAG.

 

I decided to make a tag for the challenge cut from mountboard using the Tim Holtz Tag Die. This was then inked using Black Soot Distress Ink. I then whisked up some washing up liquid in a bowl to get some nice frothy suds. The tag was then dipped into the suds and blasted with the heat tool. This creates a wonderful grungy background as the suds react with the ink. I then stamped my images using an Oxford Impressions Halloween Stamp Plate, fussy cut and adhered to the tag. Instead of ribbon I decided on some chain link to hang the tag.

Quoth The Raven Quest 19- Anything Poes.

 

I have participated this month in the challenge over at Quoth The Raven. A challenge I have missed but am glad to be back participating in again. The theme this month:- Anything Poes. So I decided to make a little Tag book in memorium of the Master of the Dark Arts. I satrted with a large Craft Tag, inked, distressed and stamped and embossed in black on the front panel. The main book pages were then compiled in photoshop, then printed out onto parchment paper. The pages were then arranged into signitures and bound into the tag. The tag was then folded at three and a half inch intervals to create the book and flap fold over. A gold twine with black tassels was then threaded through the tag hole to create a closure for the book. An enjoyable progect and one which I hope you will try with your tags. An image heavy post Enjoy..................

Book of Ruination

 

I am participating in another of Andy Skinner's online classes again. This one called The Book of Ruination. A lifetime workshop so you can work at your own pace with a free Rock Your Book workshop thrown in for good measure. Two for the price of one.........A bargain in my book ( excuse the pun ). If you haven't taken one of Andy's classes before I would highly recomend doing so, you WILL NOT be dissapointed I can assure you. An amazingly talented bloke who shares his techniques so you can produce some amazing work which can be transferred across many substrates. I Just love it.....................So here is my first of three books complete. A Gothic theme of which I'm very partial to. Rather pleased how this turned out.

 

Ruination or Redemption ?
