STAMPlorations stencil bloghop day 3

                              

STAMPlorations girls are having a stencil bloghop. Check it out HERE

I used ARTplorations stencil: Honeycomb Delight

I die cut some musical dp. I used the stencil and  I used a watered down white acrylic. I wanted it to look kind of washed out with just a hint of of the honeycomb shapes

I also used  this stamp set.

STAMPlorations:Winter Mug The Bees Knees Stamp

I added glitter, sequins and ribbon to finish off my Christmas tag.

If you are thinking this tag looks alot like the one I showed yesterday, you are correct. After I made the tag I shared yesterday, I decided to tweak the design and make a second one. I decided the added music notes made it a little bsy. I also thought the snowflakes onn my tag yesterday were really dark, so when I stamped the snowflakes on this tag, I stamped each one first on scrap paper so that they would be less dark. I think it made the stencil part showe up more.

I stamped the mug onto a piece of Christmas wrapping paper. I paper pieced the cocoa out of brown cardstock. I put it on a burlap tag. I added little red sequins and a ribbon. Together this tag and a packet of hot cocoa I think makes a cute little quick gift.

I stamped the mug onto a piece of designer paper that was pink with a bit of a grunge look. I painted the coffee with brown acrylic paint and glue. I used white acrylic paint for the snow. I covered the "snow" with glitter. I added green marker to the tree and red marker for the nose. The die cut snowflakes were also covered with snowflakes., I added pink rhinestones to some of the snowflakes.

The pink layer behind the mug started as a piece of white cardstock. I put different pinks and browns on a piece of plastic wrap and scrunched the wrap on the paper and let it dry.

I stamped the mug onto blue designer paper. I used brown acrylic paint and glue to color the coffee. The glue gave it a shiny finish.I stamped the cute little tree, snowflake and reindeer. I added white acrylic paint to make the snow. I added glitter on top of the white to make it sparkle. I added a pearl to the center of the snowflake. I used a green marker over the lines of the tree and I took a red marker and made a nose for the reindeer. I fussy cut out the mug and placed it on burlap over a candy cane stripped tag.

My favorite stencil ARTplorations BUBBLE DANCE
and my favorite stamps STAMPlorations : MINI MIXED MEDIA BACKGROUNDS

I used gold paint and gold wink of stella with the stencil. I then randomly stamped the dots and music notes. Then I cut the paper into strips I had 2 long 2 medium and 2 small strips. I added 2 lace and 2 ribbon strips. I stapled the ends and added some pearls and a small piece of chord to hang it on my tree.
