I know that I have been neglecting this blog a while. Sometimes life moves so slowly and then times like these I can barely catch my breath. I still havent caught up on y'all's lovely comments from the last post, last month. I need to get my groove on - I know.
I am going to plead super busyness and not and not do a step-by-step this month, of how I made this tag for the July edition of 12 tags, but I might just add some close ups of detail.

| Found out that I can emboss acetate with my thick stencils in my cuttlebug with the grey embossing mat! A + B + Rubber mat + acetate + stencil + B. This is actually a giraffe print pattern but I think on acetate it looks like water! |

| Loved making this bottle - I wanted it to look like there was an old treasure map in the bottle - Intense UTEE'ing took place here. I cut a triangle of cork lining for the bottle, I didnt use the die - just cut a triangle, it was faster and less hassle than pulling all my stuff out again. |
The sand mix didn't turn out as nicely as I wanted but that is probably because I didnt want to use up all my glorious glossy accents on the sand mix so I tried to substitute white glue in.....Tim always knows better!

ReplyDeleteI have just stumbled across your blog Candice,your creations are brilliant plus I love your writing style. I love your ideas re turning straws into 'metallic' pipes,would you have any objections if I use that idea in some of my work if I link back to you? I am a firm believer in giving credit where it's due :)
I am following now as I love anyone that uses cogs!

Love your take on the July tag (super busy too, hence being so late catching up - and I didn't even get to play along in July - and it's not looking good for August either!)... Fabulous glassy effect on the bottle, and I love the ancient treasure map.

This is such a great art tag, I especially love the 3d look and that cool little bottle. The UTEE you applied created a wonderful texture.
