Creative Expressions .... Dream Love Hope

This month the Design Team at Creative Expressions got to choose a selection of fab goodies from the Stamps To Die For & Singles stamp collections, That Special Touch Masks & the Creative Expressions Ribbon spools (more news on that soon).  I opted for the Damask Heart, WatchFaces, Kaleidoscope & Spirelli stamps.

Here's a little "how to" I put it altogether .... Paint a size 10 Manilla Tag with Distress Paint (Picket Fence).

Next cover the tag with Tim Holtz's Ideaology Tissue Wrap using Ranger Glue & Seal (Matte) to adhere to the tag.

Stamp Sam Pooles A6 Bubble Wrap stamp using Distress Paint (Salty Ocean)

Next apply some Distress Paint (Rusty Hinge) with your finger to give a lighter coverage.

To add more layers to the background, spray Dylusion Spray (White Linen) through That Special Touch 6x6 Mask (Nuts Pattern), heat dry before next step.

Next apply some Distress Ink (Walnut Stain) around the edges of your tag.

Then stamp the "Spirelli" image using Archival Ink (French Ultramarine) randomly over the tag.

Next stamp Sam Pooles A6 Chicken Wire stamp using Archival Ink (Jet Black).

I then inked up the "Love" saying from the Damask Heart set using Distress Paint (Salty Ocean).

Stamp the Damask Heart using Archival Ink onto Tissue Wrap then tear around the image before adhering to main tag with Cosmic Shimmer Glue.

 Finally I added some Walnut Stain Distress Ink and splashes of Salty Ocean & Rusty Hinge Distress Paints to small kraft luggage tags before stamping "Dream & Hope" from the A6 Tickets Stamp Plate and part of the Damask Heart image. Attach with Tiny Attacher. Tie some Grossgrain Stripe Ribbon (Black/Ivory).

Keep your eyes peeled as there will be some exciting news announced soon on the Creative Expressions Blog & Facebook Page ....

Until next time. TFL x
