Girls on Film....

Hi Everyone!

 

Hope you are all enjoying some crafting time this week - I am lucky to be on a bit of a break from our business so I have had quite a lot of time to create!!!

 

Today I have an inspirational post for you with some of Sal's "nudes" - of course - if you know me and the SLS Lines nudes you know I love to create with them on a regular basis!

 

You can find these images in the store - some are available individually and some are part of an adult colouring book - check them out!!! Click here for a direct link to the Adult 18+ section to find all these tasteful ladies - oh and one tasteful gentleman!

 

 

I've created a mixed media double tag using 2 of the nude gals plus some cut outs from Silhouette files which were perfect for my Girls on Film theme!

 

Background is smooshed acrylic paint LOL!! I added a bit of fibre to the top of each tag and a piece of muslin on the back as well. I computer generated the wording on the board. Gals coloured with copics.

 

A bit of fun!!

 

Stay tuned for more inspiration and a new challenge starting on the 20th!! But still time to enter our current challenge!

Nude Tag Art....

Sharon again sharing some more "nude" inspiration - this time by way of "Tag Art"!
 

 

I love to create tags - it's fun to create different backgrounds with mixed media and see all the different effects you can get from products.

 

Today I have 2 tags using 2 digis available at the store in the "Pin Up Girls" Colouring Book - so tasteful and I love the vintage pin up style of these digis.

 

 

I love the colours of this tag - purple and aqua. I painted the background of this tag and then stamped a Tim Holtz "Swirl" stamp with clear embossing ink and embossed with a vibrant "WOW" Purple Glitter Embossing Powder - love the sparkle! Image coloured with Copic Markers and I added some purple ribbon behind the image and at the top of the tag. To finish off I added a peacock feather and the word "exquisite".
 

 

 My second tag has a dry brush acrylic paint background - love the warm colours of red and orange with a bit of white to lighten it. Image again coloured with Copic Markers and fussy cut. I added some sticky mesh down one side and sheer ribbon at the top and for fun added a little butterfly!
 

 

Hope you might feel inspired to try some tag art yourself and pop over to the SLS Lines Store and grab yourself some new images to colour!

 

And don't forget we always have a challenge running here at the blog so lets see your creations linked up!

Sharon's First Post!

Hi Everyone

I'm Sharon and I'm Guest Designing here at SLS Lines for a few months and this is my first post here!

I just love the range of quirky digis available at the SLS Lines Etsy Store - I like things that are not so "normal" LOL so Sal's images are absolutely perfect for me & I am so looking forward to creating & sharing here!

Today I'm sharing a tag made using "Goth Girl with Heart Balloons" click here to be taken to the direct link at the store. As you can see I have only printed part of the image on my tag - I love the effect!

This tag is really quite quick to make - good for when you want to create something in a hurry that still looks effective and complicated!!

Here's some quick instructions for you - and I'd love to see your creations if you decide to have a go - leave me a link in the comments section here and I'll "pop over" and leave you a comment on how fantastic it looks!!

I started with a scrap piece of card and cut it to a tag shape - punched a hole at the top and then coloured it with Distress Stains and a tiny bit of acrylic paint. Put your stains and paint on a mat or I use alfoil sometimes and drag your tag through the colour, keep lifting & dabbing until the whole tag is coloured and then let dry. Next simply print part of the whole of your image onto the tag. I decided to add some "highlight" colour with Copic Markers to the eyes, lips and basic hair outline plus a bit of sparkle for her eyeshadow! The black flower vine is simply a rub on strip - looks effective! Then I added some of my gyprock sticky mesh which a "tradie" left at our house after some renovation work and it's now one of my favourite "add ons". Sponge the edges with distress ink, add some Distress Stain dyed ribbon to the top. I found a little cross sticker which I added to her necklace. There we go all done in record time!

Hope you like this and feel "inspired" to get creating!

See you all again next month and thanks to Sal & the SLS "Team" for having me!

Sharon :)
