Tag-along (& ATC's)

I am just HOPPING on to let you know about

our brand new challenge blog!

If you want more information then HOP over

HERE.

I am sharing a little tag I made for a new baby.

I have used a border punch for the lacy top and bottom

and the bunny and wording is from a stamp

set called Easter Bunny (SU).

The background papers are also from SU.

I coloured up the bunny with markers

and added some ribbon and bakers twine.

I would like to enter my tag into

A Perfect Time to Craft - anything goes April

Critter Crazy - feature a creature

As we are a Tag and ATC challenge I went

ahead and made a little ATC

using Fable Friends stamp set (SU).

The background has been made using my inks and a

cloud stencil.

The bunny has been coloured up using markers.

I grabbed a tree stamp from Happy Hedgehogs (SU)

and stamped it around the top of the ATC

and coloured it up with markers.

The sentiment was stamped in memento.

So come and check us out, follow the blog

and get ready for our first challenge in May!

Happy Friday.

My card today was inspired by a challenge over on

Fractured Card.

Rabbit or hare

It's the second week of my theme

bunny or hare

over at

TAG TUESDAY.

I had a piece of card lying on my desk with that lovely

cut curve at the end so I decided to use it for my tag.

I punched two holes down the length then ran it through

with an embossing folder for some texture.

I raised it up and stuck to the lovely gingham paper.

The bunnies, carrot and butterfly were stamped, coloured

and cut then tucked in to each of the circles.

I finished with a chopped sentiment and a bit of ribbon.

I hope you get time to join in the challenge.

Hare or rabbit

It's my turn to choose the challenge theme for

TAG TUESDAY

and as it's March and Easter is coming this month I decided to go with

hare or bunny!

For my first tag I used a lovely paper that had oval floral wreaths on it.

I spent a bit of tag cutting around the flowers then stamped,

coloured and cut my bunny out.

He fitted perfectly in the centre of the oval and I finished him

with a little linen bow.

The sentiment was stamped in daffodil delight ink

and matted onto some old olive card.

I hope you get time to play along with my theme.

First signs of Spring!

Happy Sunday.

It's time for our March challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

and the theme this time round is

anything goes option Spring!

We have some wonderful prizes up for grabs!!

Amazing or what!!

So for my challenge I have gone with daffodils.

These flowers just shout Spring to me and I love to see them popping up.

The stamp set I used is a retired one but I do love it.

I followed a sketch for the layout and used old olive card and ink

and glorious gingham papers.

The daffodils have been stamped twice so I could layer up the heads.

The design has been continued on the inside.

I hope you get time to join us and be sure to pop over

HERE to check out the ladies amazing inspiration!
