Tag Tuesday

It's the second week of Sandie's asemic theme over at

TAG TUESDAY.

This week I started off with a yellow piece of card.

I stamped the script stamp on top from Gorgeously Made set.

I then add some pieces of torn paper allowing the script

to peep through here and there.

I made some paper flowers and punched leaves from the same paper.

I also cut the bird from the paper and added some pieces of

doily to the corners.

I stamped the script onto the doilies too then added some

scribbles around the edges of the tag.

It was an enjoyable hour spent mucking about lol.

Asemic writing...

Our new challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Sandie and she wants to see some asemic writing

on your tag.

( Asemic writing is a wordless open semantic form of writing.

The word asemic means "having no specific content" or "without the smallest unit of meaning" )

I started off stamping some script using  Gorgeously Made stamp set

which has a great asemic stamp in there.

I then inked up the tag using two shades of blue.

I die cut the leaves in black and stuck on top.

I then added some pearlized enamel effects dots here and there

and finished with a sentiment and some staples ribbon.

I would like to enter this into

Tag Tuesday - asemic writing

Simon Monday challenge - not a card

Classic Design Challenge - anything goes option love

The Outlawz - anything goes in card free zone

Creative Fingers - anything goes

Went out for a walk and got caught in the biggest shower lol.

Thinking of you...

Happy Monday.

I had a few sympathy cards to make for a few special friends

who recently lost their Mum/Granny.

This is one of them.

I used a tattered lace die for the card shape. I think it's called a

tri fold shutter.

The papers are from Stampin' Up! and the flowers and foliage are from

a mix of retired products. One of them is my favourite all time set called

Forever Fern.

This is a side view.

I layered up the butterfly die from  a set called Brilliant Wings dies.

The sentiment is from a stamp set called Hope you Know.

Beautiful Blossoms - flowers with option mood board

Electric went off here early this morning.

Thankfully we had just finished our breakfast, would hate to miss

my first cuppa of the morning!

It is back on now though.

It's now 1pm and I'm finally getting into my craft room

Looking like ONE OF THOSE WEEKS lies ahead of me!!

Have a great week.
