A very simple 'tag' tutorial for Oak House Studio

Hi everyone, back again, with a very easy tag tutorial for OAK HOUSE STUDIO

While doing some 'winter' themed projects for the November challenge, I unearthed some stamps I hadn't used for a while....CHRISTMAS WREATH SET 

I have lots of Oak House Studio white tags, but typically couldn't find them for this project, so had to cut some....
I've used white linen from
PAPERMILLDIRECT 

1)  I stamped the branches using Green Oak inkpad, and the sentiment using black inkpad.

 2) Using Spring Green inkpad I stamped the cluster of holly leaves from the Christmas Wreath set, randomly over the branches.

 3) I then mixed some Green Oak inkpad with Peridot acrylic ink together to make a darker shade, and over-stamped with a single holly leaf.

4) I painted in a few holly berries with Valentine Red inkpad and an aquabrush.

When they were dry, I dotted 'Glossy Accents' over the berries, to give them a bit of shine.

5) A bit of red metallic cord, and done!








 I liked the effect so much, I made a couple of cards to match....

Well, that's all for now, catch you soon,

Barbara.....

New Special Offer from Papermilldirect....

Hi everyone, it's time for another 'Special Offer' from

PAPERMILL

This lovely Biscuit card, at 240gsm is available in a small sized box (approximately 80 A4 sheets) for the mouth watering price of only £5.50.  

I've used my Silhouette Portrait for this DT work, thanks to some new friends from a lovely little craft shop in Trowbridge, Wiltshire called EMBOSS & BEAD ......the ladies have kindly helped and persuaded me to use the machine which has sat new, in it's box for 8 months!

This is the very first project done on the SP, a very simple idea, but I'm thrilled to bits with it, LOL

I've used PAPERMILL cardstock in white linen, BISCUIT, brown and red.....and lovely little snowflake stamps from OAK HOUSE STUDIO to decorate the box. 

What do you think???

I'll be back over the weekend with details of a great new challenge from Oak House Studio, but until then, happy crafting.
