I can hardly believe we are on week 27 of the CCC's at Studio L3! Linda has us opening our books to page 60 to distress mist our masks, along with Simon Says Stamp and Show "Some Masking" and we are also going to take this couple to visit Cindy and her "Creative Spirit Challenge," but do you want to know what happened? Without giving away to much detail, we had to use reinkers and mine was new and unopened. I went to remove the plastic safety seal with a pair of scissors and I could not believe my eyes! The entire seal and bottle dropper cap came flying off and landed all over my boring tan carpet! I was in shock and ran for the paper towels to blot up the bright reddish color. Well I think it will be ok. I have a little green machine and worked on it. Back to business, I cut out three hearts from a Sizzix die of various sizes for masks along with a mask of John and Joan from Scrolls Work Stamps. I think they are a gorgeous couple for Valentine's Day and the little hearts and sentiment are also stamps from Scrolls Work. We first started with the larger heart and worked down to the smaller and always kept the happy couple covered with a mask. We then added some little pearls in both black and cream and cut a larger tag shape to back the main show. This was quite fun, well with the exception of the mishap!
Hope you all are having a wonderful week and doing something fun and creative. So you know, the Creative Spirit is open for any crafter and anything goes as long as it was made by your lovely hands! Thank you so much for the visit!
Wonderful tag Terry - love that sentiment. Sorry to hear about your mishap with the reinker, hope you were able to get it all out!
ReplyDeleteThey are a perfect Valentine couple. Wonderful tag. I hope your carpet is okay. I have spilled the ink twice but the worst was melting the carpet with my heat gun. Couldn't wipe up that one.
ReplyDeleteGreat tag, sympathize about the ink, I had a similar experience with black craft paint years ago on some new carpet. My husband and boys said, boy are we glad we didn't do that :-)
ReplyDeleteOooh la la!!! This is a gorgeous tag, Terry!!! And thanks so much for linking it up!!! It is beautiful and I'm so happy that you shared your creative spirit with all of us!!!

This is fabulous, Terry, I love it! You have really made the image pop, and the heart masking looks really good. Worried about your carpet though - that is my big fear with my crafting,

Wow this looks awesome Terry, I love what you did with the paper, you are so creative! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteLove your tag Terry, it looks fab. I too know the feeling of re-inker accidents, there are some strange splodges on the floor by my desk.

Great Valentine tag! Thanks for joining us on the Simon Says Stamp & Show challenge blog.
ReplyDeleteLovely tag Terry! I think we all have some sort of blobs of stains in our rooms! As long as we have fun creating, the messes do not matter!!
ReplyDeletePam
Stunning, Terry! Love your layered heart...so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the tag! Love the backdrop of what appears to be vintage valentines too. Sucks about losing most of the reinker, especially on the carpet. Write to the company and they will send you another one free I bet. They won't clean your carpet tho' so I'm glad you got it out.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful GF, luv it! Ouch, you must have been a wreck when that bottle flipped, yikes!
ReplyDeleteGreat tag! Love the stamp, will check that out. I love the glitter that is ground permanently it seems into my carpet!
ReplyDeleteSuch a romantic tag.. Looks like it was fun to make!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tag, love those words. xx

sexy stamp..it will soon be valentines..great tag..have you tried bicarbonate of soda to get the ink out
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag Terry. I hope the ink stains come out. Yikes....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag Terry! I think all of us stampers have had a similar mishap so can feel for you. I'm luck that the carpet in my studio is old and I really want to replace it with a hard floor so that I don't need to worry about those things!
ReplyDeleteThis is a slendid tag...i really like it!!
ReplyDeleteLove the couple and that was a very clever way to mask the heart in stages.
ReplyDeleteoh gorgeous Terry! and so much fun.
ReplyDeleteOuuuu!!!! Your three-layer heart is freaking brilliant! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe whole tag, in fact, is awesome!
Especially that your carpet matches your work surface! Yay! Prost to crazy carpet!
Hi Terry,
ReplyDeletecan you please send me a short e-mail? I'd like to ask you something in person? Thanks! Have a great day, Ira
Terry...great tag and the image is ever so vintage! Love the shimmer, too!
ReplyDeleteFabulous tag, and you've put such a lot of work into it. Hope your carpet has recovered. xx
ReplyDeleteTerry this is wonderfully romantic. TFS. Lynne x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag! So sorry about your carpet. :( I'd be in big trouble if I didn't have linoleum in my studio, lol!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous tag and just perfect for Valentine's Day. I do hope your carpet is no worse for wear. However, I can't imagine reinkers not staining! Probably your tan was dark enough to camouflage the spot.
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo romantic, the perfect tag for Valentine!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! OOhhh, hope the reinker comes out of the carpet......!
ReplyDeletevery romantic terry!
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin' this!
ReplyDeleteohhhh noooo Terry, sounds like a recap of me last week! I do hope it all came out of your carpet!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet tag and a romantic couple to!
Ohhh thats stunning Terry, really romantic and beautiful
ReplyDeletehugs June xxx
This is such a charming tag, Terry! Glad you were able to clean the carpet!
ReplyDeleteHi Terry,
ReplyDeleteWow, I loved your feedback and the picture with the dogs--I had no idea that's why you used it...I figured it was because you were so crazy about your dogs!!
I hope you're having a great day!!
XO
Great tag! I love the image of the man and woman, it is just great for this tag.
ReplyDeleteFab Tag great images hope the carpets ok!
ReplyDeleteMaggie
Love your tag. Brilliant. Yes, I've had a few narrow squeaks with the carpet. Your experience makes me think I might just put some plastic protector down around the desk area.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn
This is so nicely done! you sure do have a talent for capturing the essence of these challenges!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Terry, that's awful about your reinker breaking like that! Yikes! I'm glad the stain came up okay, but I bet you nearly had a heart attack.
ReplyDeleteJohn and Joan look extremely romantic and happy on that gorgeous tag you created! What a brilliant way to work the masking-- the subtle tone-on-tone is just beautiful. I love the little flower up top, too!
