Technique Hop - "Accents of White"

 Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop!  

This month there are about 8 of us highlighting the “Accents of White” Techniques!  This blog hop is a great big circle so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the fabulous artwork incorporating this technique.  

If you get lost along the way Melissa has a complete list of the hop participants.

If you are coming from Michelle's Blog, you are on the right track! 

Today, I have a tag to share with you.  I am loving our new Gelly Roll pens and using them to add details and doodles to projects.  

I used the gel pen to add snow to the trees I stamped in Rosemary ink with the Holiday Special stamp set.  I also added dots of snow to the sky which was blended using Harbour ink on Glacier cardstock.

I have also created this process video to show you how I created it as well.

Supplies Used: 

- Holiday Special stamp set

- Glacier cardstock

- Tags & Tabs Thin Cut set

- Harbour ink pad

- Rosemary ink pad

- Archival Black ink pad

- Mini Ink Blending Tool

- All-Purpose mat

- 10 Gelly Roll white gel pen

- scissors

- white & gold ribbon (retired)

Thanks for stopping by! Please continue onto Cat's Blog where you will find some additional artwork highlighting this technique!  Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you thought of my variation and happy hopping!  If are in Canada and don't have a Maker, I would love to help you.

December SOTM - Owl Love You Forever Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! I hope you will hop along with us and check out all of the amazing artwork created using the December SOTM, called Owl Love You Forever it is a set of  9 stamps.

 

This set is only available for the month of December.  It is $25.75 or you can get it for $6.75 with a $60 order.  Or for free with a $60 order if you are a VIP customer.)

If you arrived here from ScrappinKaty, then you are in the right spot.  The blog hop is a big circle, so you can start here and work your way around.  If you get lost along the way, Melinda's Blog has a complete list of all the participating consultants.  

 This month we have around 10 Close To My Heart Makers/Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. 

I have been having fun creating tags lately and so I decided to use this stamp set to make a shaker tag.

I used a tag from the Buildable Tags Thin Cut set as the base.

I stamped in Intense Black ink and then used Tri-Blend markers to colour with.  (Gold Brown, Antique Pink, Jade Green, Orange and Light Yellow)  I inked the edges with the black ink pad and added doodle lines with the .01 black journaling pen.

I added sponging with Ballerina ink to the base tag for the belly.  I trimmed out the belly of the owl with my craft knife, added acetate & foam tape, then filled with bitty beads and silver star confetti.  The gold splatters were created with the Gilt Gloss Spray.

Here is the process video.

I hope you enjoyed this tag and I would love to hear what you think of it.

Now "Hop" on over to CatScrapbooking to see what she has created! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas! Remember, the December SOTM is only available until the 31th!  Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount!  If you are in Canada and don't have a consultant I would be happy to help you.
