In the pink!


It's time for our May challenge over at
TAG-ALONG (and ATC's)
where I have chosen the theme of PINK.
You can add a little or a lot, up to you,
OR you can go with the anything goes option.

For my tag I made the background on my gelli plate
using a mix of acrylic paints in pink and white.
I laid a piece of lace over the paint
to get the nice soft texture.
Next I stamped some text along one side using
Gorgeously Made stamps (SU)
and stencilled some dots with 
TH embossing paste on the other side.
I stamped some flowers in pink from
Painted Seasons (SU) and arranged them
at the bottom of my tag.
I punched some butterflies out of the
waste paper from the gelli plate and
positioned them around the sentiment
from Framed Florets stamps (SU).
I finished by added some pearlised enamel
dots in red and added some lace
tied with ribbon to the top.

For my ATC I used the gelli plate again
with a piece of old lace material and
pink and white acrylic paint.

I added more petals to the flowers using
the pink paint and a brush
and then embellished with some colour
using acrylic markers.
I finished with some faux stitching,
pearlised enamel dots and a
sentiment.

I would like to enter this into

I hope you get time to play along with us.
Remember you can follow the theme or
anything goes and you can make a tag,
ATC or Bookmark!

We do, as always have a fantastic prize
and a chosen top 3!!

  1. Such a beautiful birthday tag, love all the details. Great you used the gelli plate for your ATC and with lace - not done that for a long time, thanks for the reminder. Your own petals really add to the lovey design and that bold pink is fab.

  6. Both beautiful and oh so inspiring, the paper flowery layers are so feminine. The use of the lace on the gel plate for your ATC gives great effect. Happy Crafty May Tracey x
