Favourite colours


This sunshine is lovely but boy I am struggling
to get anything done in my craft room
or housework with this over bearing heat.

Anyway I'm sharing another tag and ATC
I made earlier for our
favourite colour/anything goes theme over at
challenge.

Last time I went with pink but
another favourite is this lovely teal colour.
I matched it up with some gold this time.



I colour blended the background using oxide inks
called peacock feathers and frayed burlap
then spritzed with water.
I then used embossing paste and stencil (SU)
to added some texture.
Next I added some gold braiding
around the middle and some text
washi tape along the bottom.
I then stamped the teddy bear using a stamp
set from CreateKrafts called Beary Special.
He was coloured up with markers
and layered onto some punched circles of card.
I stamped the sentiment using a set
from Love to Craft called Let's celebrate.
The tag shape was made using a punch from SU
and I finished it off with some matching
braid and ribbons.

I would like to enter this into

For my ATC I used the same stamp set as above.
For the atc base I coloured up my background
using frayed burlap oxide ink.
I then stencilled (AALL&Create) over the top using 
peacock feathers and then added some embossing
paste using a stencil (Amazon), for some texture.
I stamped the bear twice and added them
to look like one is balancing on the other.
They were coloured with markers.
I finished with the sentiment from the
same set.

I would like to enter this into

I hope you get time to join us
and get yourself entered into the draw
for this fabulous prize!
Worth suffering a half hour indoors lol.

  11. I hear you with the heat Pinky, I have drawn the blinds in my craftroom and resided back to the kitchen, not ideal but I don't need the table until Christmas hee hee..
    Love this embellished tag, the teddy is so sweet what a lovely image and the blue with gold is a Summertime treat which takes me straight to the beach.
    Thanks so much for sharing @ Creative Artiste Hugs Tracey x

  13. Hello, Pinky!!! Thanks for sharing your very cute bear tag with HQFSCAT!! The combination of teal and honey gold is terrific (or can I say 'bear-ific'!!!) And then using small bears in motion on an ATC is fun! Using the same color combo adds to the merriment! Thanks for sharing your bear-y good ATC with Critter Crazy!
