Hello everyone,

Welcome to my post where today I have made a tag.

This tag was made with a piece of pattern paper. I scraped gesso over it and then added some Glimmer Mist through the UmWow Dahlia stencil. Next I added some darker bits with a Stabilo All pencil and some water. After adding the washitape I glued on the Penny Farthing. I didn't think it needed anything doing to it. Lastly I added a sentiment which I made out of Chitchat stickers by Tim Holtz. 

You will find the Penny Farthing HERE.

and the Dahlia Stencil HERE

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

Blessed are the curious

Hello everyone,

I have a tag to share today. I have heat embossed the butterfly chipboard and filmed the process so I don't have to explain ! lol

As a base a used a piece of design paper. I added some stamping, scribbling, a little gesso and embossing. 

The butterfly is placed on some silk sari ribbon which I have stitched down the sides. 

You will find the Butterfly HERE.

I am trying to use up my old stash of bits and bobs, these paper flowers are of that stash so I added a brad from the same stash and glued the whole thing down onto the tag...

I think it turned out nice, now if you like to know what I did to the chipboard then hop over to YouTube and have a look ! 

I hope you enjoy watching. 

Until next time ! 

A wallhanging ...

Hello everyone,

I am sharing a wallhanging today. It was also an experiment with embossing powders which didn't quite go to plan, oh well..

And here's what I did to the chipboard.. 

I glued the star chipboard on some book paper..

I tore off the excess... 

I then thought to fill it with UTEE but see what happened:

I decided to go with it anyway and added a layer of the new Emerald Creek/Seth Apter embossing powders of the top. I used Dirty Sand. 

Sorry for the blurred photo, my camera obviously focussed on the pot of embossing powder.. 

I actually think that looks really cool ! 

So here is the finished project. The base is grey board of which I painted the edges with black gesso. The top layer is a piece of a box. I tore off the top layer of paper here and there to expose the ridges. 

I added the model paste through the UmWow Dahlia stencil, then added a layer gesso over the top.

I used Lindy's Sprays to colour the paper. 

I think it turned out nice, even if I did have trouble with the UTEE.. 

I have used the Dahlia Stencil --> HERE

and the Sketchy Star --> HERE

Thank you for stopping by today !

Howdy UmWowStudio Fans.....

I had a snow day
and I created up a storm.
Had to trudge through the snow
the next morning to get to my photo area!

I pulled out a tag and
mixed a bit of paint and modeling paste together
and applied it through 

UmWowStudio's ~ Grid Stencil

When dry, I spritz with mist and then dropped Glam onto my tag
with a pippette. I gently spritzed my tag with water and let it dry.

I applied a bit of Multi Medium Matte to my tag

with a paint brush and then I sprinkled on a bit of Prills.

I then dry brushed on a bit of white gesso.

I painted one of the
UmWowStudio ~ Signature Series ~ Small Ivy

with Modeling Paste.
When dry I dropped Glam on the Small Ivy,
spritzed with a bit of water and dried it.
You can see my technique HERE!

I cut apart my UmWowStudio ~ Small Ivy into 3 pieces.
I cut up a piece of wire mesh and stapled it to my tag.

I pulled out a bunch of Mist and colored a few white flowers!!

MoJo is on Vacation

Hi UmWowStudio fans.....
can I just say....I hate it when my creativity
decides to take a hiatus and I have a deadline!!

What do you do??

As for me...I start scanning challenges and mood boards
once again I landed on
Our Mixed Media Moods

so I just began creating.....

with no plan or any true inspiration.

I did like the transparency ideas

so I decided to begin there.

I pulled out a piece of Tissuestock

and a tub of Modeling Paste

and an UmWowStudio Wheelie Mask

Now, where I went from there is quite the journey.

I cut the Tissuestock into a tag,

painted the back with Glimmer Glam,

adhered another piece of Tissuestock ~ French Script,

then a piece of Kraft Cardstock

I colored things using

Distress Oxides

Glimmer Glam to name a few.

I was kinda getting there but still not really happy...

I thought that if maybe I began working on

the UmWowStudio Butterfly chipboard

Now, the one thing I LOVE about

UmWowStudio Chipboard

is it stands up to most anything you do to it

and still looks FABULOUS.

I painted my Butterfly,

added Glitter Glass,

cut the wings apart.

and spritzed the back with water.

You can actually watch the water

soak into the chipboard,

which allowed me to manipulate the chipboard.

Still not happy, I added more paint.

Now, it was beginning to take shape....

I adhered a piece of branch for the body

....and there it was.

I found a quote, stamped it onto a manila tag

and cut it apart.

It all worked....

though not my finest piece it was a great exploration

of various papers and medium

....and I'm HAPPY.

THANK YOU for stopping by.....
