Craft Stamper's April Take It - Make It Challenge

Servus and welcome back to the new Take It - Make It challenge over at Craft Stamper!

http://craftstamper.blogspot.co.at/

This month we want to see

 "Bottles" 
 at the center of your makes. 


This was the perfect excuse for me to buy the lovely Crafty Individuals stamp set with the poison bottles to use it on this tag:



To achieve more depth I layered and stacked the stamped and cut out bottles with sticky foam pads.


The "Danger" sign was stamped with DI "barn door" and given two coats of clear UTEE. Then I mounted it to my tag together with a cut to size piece of burlap paper.


The background was done from a colour copy of some old chemists notes I found at the flea market. I blended it with some DI pumice stone and sprinkled some water droplets on it. I also sprinkled it with some drops of watered down Distress ink "gathered twigs" (using a fine detail brush) and stamped some faux mug prints in several spots.







I repeated the red colour with the ribbon and one of the bottles' labels to make all my elements "bond" with the design and added a simple card enforcement ring to place emphasis on the worn and aged paper look of my tag.


Hope to see you join in Craft Stamper's Take It - Make It challenge soon! There's a prize to be won too! ;)






Hugs and happy crafting,
Claudia xx

  1. ...und noch eine tolle Inspirationsquelle für meine neue Passion - Tags. Prima Hintergrund, ich mag natürlich besonders den 3D Effekt und das Dangerschild, sieht aus wie ein echtes Blechschild.
    Schönes Wochenende Kerstin

  7. Klasse gemacht so Ton in Ton und dann das rote Schild als eyecatcher. Auch daß die Flaschen in verschiedenen Höhen angebracht sind und so Tiefe erzeugt wurde, finde ich superklasse.
