wired for dragons dream TIO DT make

well is is time for another yummy recipe from dragons dream...and thankfully for me no cooking is required, as that could be nasty! (cooking is so not my forte so these kind of recipes are the ones I love!). So this fortnight the recipe is ..yellow, wires and light bulb. You must use at least one real stamp and make a tag...so have fun...
here is mine:


Now wire I love...and light bulbs ..cool but yellow and me are not the greatest of friends ..and yet I am so pleased to say I actually like my yellow tag! I started by embossing that tag with embossing folder and then colouring...with mustard seed distress. yikes! Then I covered in clear embossing powder and tapped some off, heated and then ribbed over with black soot....( if you ever need a lemon peel effect...this may be it.!)  I then set to work with the fab Blueprints lightbulb and added some wire for the filament.


The bulb itself was painted with waterbrush and mustard seed distress ink. I edged the torn section with a little black soot. Then onto lots of yummy idea-ology goodness...mini gears..have a bit of a thing for these!! 




Then a light bulb, some more twirls of wire, a number plaquette, more gears and mini gears and a number stapled ...as I love that effect...

well make sure you pop across to dragons dream to see all the fab team mates pieces and maybe drop in a make yourself!

have a  fun and inky day!

  7. I love your 'lemon peel' background Trace! I'm not a great fan of yellow although it has its' uses and using the black over it is a great idea! The lightbulb is a fab stamp and all your other embellishments make this into one fab tag.

  10. Hmmm... well, there's a thing: I don't like yellow either, and yet I also really love your yellow tag!! Fabulous background texture (you're right about the lemon peel effect - dollshouse kitchens here we come), and the blueprint lightbulb looks brilliant. Your signature wires and gears are, of course, perfect!

  22. Very nicely made, Yellow on it's own is a tough one, but you have nailed it, the grubby vintage look is brilliant.and with the almost signature wire ;) it all comes together to look fab x
