A Man's Home Is His Castle

Or Bunnies...which ever the case may be!!! Even Mr. E. Bunny needs a posh pad, complete with crown molding, baseboards, Italian numeral tile, a Tiffany chandelier, plush Persian rugs, priceless antiques, and of course a masterpiece painted by Leonardo di Bunny himself! It's hard work being the Easter Bunny, so the finer comforts of home life make the job a little less cumbersome. 

I used Tim's Custom Stamp Pad Technique to stamp the trio, but it took me twice to get it right as you can see. The blue guy had his monocle filled with Glossy Accents. I stamped the frame in Archival Sepia and filled it in with Crackle Accents. Then I colored the background with Milled Lavender Distress Marker, and added a tiny flourish stamped image in Pumice Stone.  I stamped the sentiment in Jet Black Archival Ink.

I used Tim's Wrinkle Free Distress Technique for the background. I love revisiting the classic technique over and over again.

I stamped the swirled pollen image in Shabby Shutters.

I stamped the quarter circle design in Pesto then colored it in with Peeled Paint.

I covered the rug up with paper for protection and then stamped the checker board design in Walnut Stain. I had left over scrap pieces from the Vintage Lace die, so I painted it with Snow Cap Dabber and used it for the wood trim. I cut the table free hand out of Kraft Core scrap. I stamped the chandelier in StazOn Silver first then in Archival Sepia for added depth. It received a heavy coat of Glossy Accents. The tag border was inked in Walnut Stain. The rabbit was stamped in Archival Jet Black and then I colored him in with Distress Markers. I forgot to get pictures of this...I was so into this tag!

The Philosophy Tag and jump rings were painted in Citrus Dabber. I added all the metal embellies, and filled in the Charm with a tiny clock from Tim's Lost and Found Stack, along with Glossy Accents.

 

I am submitting this tag to the Simon Says Stamp & Show challenge of "tags", and the Blogger's Challenge of "Easter".

Supplies:
Uline: jumbo tag
From My Stash: silver wire, broken necklace chain, mini paper clip, white cardstock, ephemera egg images, scrap from Vintage Lace Die, tulle


I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

Diesel Punk!?!

Hello crafty peeps! The moment has arrived! It is time for Frilly and Funkie's first challenge. Our normal challenge format will be a new challenge theme every other Wednesday morning.  The first week (now), our Frilly designers will post their take on the theme, and the second week the Funkie designers (like me) will share their interpretation of the theme.  However for our kick off, the challenge will be only one week and all of the designers will share their take on the challenge theme together.  Our theme for the kick off is Your Favorite Vintage Style. 

I don't really know if I have a favorite vintage style. I love it all. For my tag I decided to be a bit edgy, and go with Diesel Punk. It's like Steam Punk but with a combustion engine...vroom vroom.
