~~~~~~~

Over the HALF WAY mark!!

The knife angel recently arrived in Derby, spreading the anti-knife crime message.



Mum and the Knife Angel
Currently there is a display of 'Angel' artworks in the Cathedral.
These are a couple of pieces that took my eye:


No photo description available.

Although not an angel, these exhibits made me think of Leigh's Winter Raven...
I used it on a tag in January in the Poe appreciation hop:



 I decided to use it now on my next page in my Halloween scrapbook.



The first layer is a paper from The Other Side by Craft Box, next a paper I had on my computer from Smeared Ink, both distressed around the edges with 'wild honey'.

I then added the tag:



The technique on this tag is Water Stamping with a blended background.


Method:

  1. Make a blended background.
  2. Ink a stamp with Distress Embossing Ink and spray with water.
  3. Stamp tag and dry with a heat tool.
  4. Stamp over tag with Archival Ink - I used Edgar Allan Poe red rubber stamps from Smeared ink - no longer trading.


I then printed the image, coloured it with Copics and cut it out.
The image is Leigh's Winter Raven


Finally I added some buttons.







Happy Hopping!
