So here it is, our Newest Release:
Joining us today as a Guest Designer is our winner from Sami Stamps Challenge 009:
I’m Marina from the UK. I work full-time in
education and I have a family, but in my free-time, I make things. What I
enjoy most is having an idea and trying to make it work.
(Sometimes it works
better than others!)
I’m on two design teams, Inkspirational and
Pinspirational Challenges. At the moment, as well as making lots of cards, I am
scrapbooking and trying to sew a present for a friend’s new baby. I have also
set myself the challenge of making a Christmas card a week, and posting it on
my blog.
Thank you Sami for having me as Guest Designer.
Marina Crafted a beautiful faux wood tag out of chipboard using "Mushroom Fairy." It turned out just so lovely I wanted to include her tutorial so you can make one of your own!
Materials:
Sami Stamps digi Mushroom Fairy
Chipboard rectangle
(mine had a white coating on one side and bevelled edges)
Markers, Ultra fine
glitter ,Two shades of beige/brown ink pad
Clear ink pad (Versamark) and clear embossing powder
Heat gun and hole punch
Woodgrain rubber stamp
Twine, charm, gem
1.) Color the fairy and cut it out closely.
2.) Color the chipboard using the paler ink and stamp the woodgrain with the darker ink.
3.) Glue the fairy image onto the tag and punched a hole. I put glue on the fairy’s wings and sprinkled them with ultra-fine glittter.

4.) Dabble the whole
tag with clear ink , sprinkle it with clear embossing powder and heat it to
melt. This was repeated 3 or four times
till the surface was glassy smooth. The dabbing of clear ink caused
particles of glitter to be transferred across the tag, which (although not originally
intended!) gives the whole tag a fairy sparkle.
5.) I finished it off with some twine, a dragonfly charm and a gem
