Dylusions Perfect Splatter Video

Over at Frilly & Funkie, I am doing the Friday Focus this week and I wanted to highlight Ranger's Perfect Pearl Pigment Powders...say that 5 times! The technique of Dylusions Perfect Splatter uses them in a really cool way, and produces awesome results, so I thought I'd show you via video...again. This technique is from Dyan herself, whom I had the pleasure of learning from at Ranger U (my name is now listed...yay!!!). I could have played with tags all day with the all the different combinations a person could come up with...fab technique and an even fabber (new word?!?) lady!

I'm sort of getting the hang of editing videos, but for number three I didn't give you much viewing space on the screen...sorry. I really enjoy doing these though, and hope all of you like them and will reference them. 

The Completed Tags:

This the example tag that I started with. I left it plain, so you could really see the effect.

This was the small tag I started with as well. I embossed it with Tim's Christmas Background, and highlighted the raised areas with Adirondack Snow Cap Pigment Ink. The Idea-ology metals were painted and enameled with UTEE. The tag was layered with cardstock and trimmings were added.

This was the bright cosmos tag. I embossed it with Tim's groovy swirls, and inked those raised areas with Adirondack Snow Cap Pigment Ink. The sentiment, also Tim's, was stamped on Specialty Stamping Paper with the special summer Distress Ink Picked Raspberry, and trimmings were added. It's so bright and fun!

This was the tiny tag I used to clean up with after the art journal tried to clean up. I embossed it with a leaf design from Sizzix, then inked the raised design with the summer special Distress Ink Mowed Lawn. Gorgeous silk lace and ribbon were added, along with a rosette. An Idea-ology Cash Key Charm hold the computer generated sentiment.

This is my favorite, of course the dark tag I did last. I love the background so much. The shimmer really plays it up. It was embossed with the Tim Riveted Texture Fade, and Black Soot Distress Ink was swiped over the raised areas. Gold lace, a rusted heart, and lots of Idea-ology goodness finished this off. I love the turning handle on the heart. I am saving this one for next Valentine's Day for my hubby!

12 Tags of 2012 - August

Tim's tag this month was absolutely stunning! I loved the feminine and vintage feel it had, with that tiny bit of grunge as well,  so I wanted to do mine the same way, but I didn't have all the goods. I know wonders never seize...right?!? 

So I had to improvise a little. Then there was the trick to making a jumbo tag work (my favorite size), which usually causes me grief, but I made this texture fade work by embossing with it three times to get the effect I needed. I have been collecting cameos for quite some time now, and have a great little stash of them, so I decided to use one here since I didn't have the silhouette stamp. I added lace to the bottom because I didn't have the die to cut it. So then, I thought I ought to just keep going with my improvisations and use some other flowers instead of the gorgeous ones he made with the pinecone die, which I just happen to have. I changed the sentiment up as well, because frankly, I have to remind myself to find the beautiful points and/or things in my daily life when I get so bogged down with other things that are not so beautiful. Always count your blessings!!!

I am submitting this tag to Linda's Compendium of Curiousities II Challenge based on Tim's book of the same name, using his "Perfect Pearls Mist" technique, and to Simon Says Stamp & Show's challenge of "Paint It"...lots of gold acrylic goodness going on here.
