MY TAKE ON MISS ASTRID'S FOLDER AND TAGS CREATION...

Hello my Lovelies, thanks so much for visiting my crazy nest and I hope you have time for to watch a movie :O), grab the popcorn and a drink.

I decorated eight side in this project, ( 21 photo's sorry) I did lots of things on them, no photo's of the process, your lucky or it would have been a full length movie, it took me 4 days to create it...

I'll try to keep the Magpie chatter to a minimum, really....

 It stands up pretty well, it's quite thick....

I used 2 brown large envelopes cut down made 2 flaps and glued them  together for the base.
I inked up a piece of water color paper with Tim's squeezed lemonade and Stamping Up purely pomegranate with water...

 Stamped some dragon flies with the purely pomegranate, stenciled some flowers and a pillar  with modeling paste colored with some blue and green water color in a tube. I glued it to the envelopes, then worked on the inside pieces, when I finished those I  glued them to the other side, then when I turned it over, yikes, I had glued them upside down. Now that is why the pillar became the back and the flowers on the front........

 I had a fridge magnet with a sister sentiment, I took the colors from this to start the project with. I stamped some vines underneath , added some lovely corner pieces from Miss Julia Ann, I put a couple of coats of clear nail polish on them, hung a piece chain from a necklace, I love how it dangles on the front...

 I love to use napkins, I podged a tiny piece with some sweet hummingbirds and bleeding hearts..

                       The back with the upside down pillar.

I love how the inside turned out, nothing makes me happier then being in a meadow as most of you know........

 I inked up 2 pieces of mixed media paper used the some colors and technique.. I used my NBUS Tim's wood grain, loooooove it and will be playing with it lot.. I stamped some tree leaves on the top, my favorite meadow flowers again...

 Stamped some of my 2 favorite sentiment stamps from paper artsy that I won right onto the paper....

The two tags...

 I used some pretty paper  cover them with watered down gesso,  used the wood gran stencil with some gesso, stamped the dragon flies again, inked some mowed lawn with my sequin waste, stamped another favorite verse on a white napkin backing..

For the back I used a gorgeous piece of orange and red paper I have been hoarding it was quite shinny so I sanded it the went over it with Tim's mustard seed and spice marmalade. Stamped the dragon flies, and the sequin waste, then stamped more of the verses on plain tissue paper...

 I did the same to this other tag using different verses..

                          Photos of the tags inside the folder..

                            I edged everything with Inca gold..


 I was at Miss Alison blog this morning and she had a gorgeous tag she had made for A Vintage journey, you have to use a whole set of stamps to enter, I used this whole set plus a few extra  so hope this fits the challenge. These are my favorite set to use I won these, I got to pick them and use the all the time, lots of times I use them in the backgrounds for a bit of sentiment... So I'm entering the challenge here, I think I have entered 4 challenge this month, amazing for me....

I had to share a couple of photos of the off stamping I do when creating, I used a lot this week, I used the left over watered down gesso on my dictionary pages then use the to stamp on top of them

  I used the wet pillar stencil on a scarp piece of card stock

I can make flowers with these or use them in my backgrounds..
If you still here God bless you, I appreciate you hanging around.

Well they finally let Deb go home, she is on the mend, Hallelujah!
Thanks a bunch for visiting I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, see you soon, ((( BIG HUGS )))..
