Don't fret!

I have some midway inspiration for our anything goes

challenge over at

Tag-along (and ATC's)

For my tag I used a piece of light green card for my base.

I added some yellow ink with my blending brush.

Then I stencilled some stripes in dark green

and stamped some script in black.

The leaf has been cut in dark green card and the

sentiment was cut from a scrapbooking paper set

from years ago.

I punched the corners to make my shape and

added some dark green gems and bakers twine to finish.

Items used

Gorgeously Made stamps and dies (SU)

Best trio corner punch (SU)

Stencil free with magazine.

*********************************

Next I made an ATC  with a music theme.

I coloured my white atc base with yellow ink.

Then I stencilled the music notes in green

and stamped some music and sentiment in black.

I stamped the guitar, coloured and cut it out

and added to my atc.

I finished with some doodling and inked

around the edges.

Items used

Paper Discovery stamps and stencil

Our new challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Valerie and she has gone

with anything goes!!

Easy or what!

I have gone with a pretty butterfly tag.

I started with a piece of white card and stamped

some text from Gorgeously Made stamp set.

I then inked it up using gorgeous grape ink.

I punched the top for the tag shape and then

added some butterfly stickers and flower stickers

from my stash.

I took it to my sewing machine and stitched all the

way round in white thread.

I then stamped the sentiment

and added to the centre.

The ribbon has been heated with my heat tool

to make it shrink and curl and I

attached it to the tag.

Vintage vibes

It's the second week of Sandie's theme of

vintage/old over at

TAG TUESDAY.

This time I had a relaxing afternoon playing about with

inks, lace, handmade flowers and embossing.

I started off embossing the base then colouring it with

different colours of H2o's. I then added some hints of gold

using metallic rub ons.

Next I made some small flowers from white paper,

colouring them up using Twinkling H2o's in purples and blues

and when attached with a brad, I added some more of the gold

rub ons.

I cut a piece of lace, added the H2o's to it in blue

and stuck to the corner of my tag.

I then added my butterfly stickers and layered up

the flowers with some leaves.

I finished with some stamped sentiments and some pieces

of organza ribbon, coloured with the paints and heated

to make them shrink and curl.

I hope you come and join us. Pull out some old crafts stash

and scraps and have fun!!

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.

First sympathy card of the year!

Sad to be making a Sympathy card in the first few days of

the brand new year but what can we do.

I kept this one very simple and I do like the clean fresh

look it has.

Lovely sunny but very cold day today.

Had a dander around the shops but just the same old

rubbish stuff in the sales.

I swear they hide stuff away just for the sales

that nobody will buy during the year 😂

Enjoy your weekend whatever you are up to!

More leaves!

Another Saturday post.

I followed the sketch over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday

but it closes tomorrow so had to get this posted.

I flipped the sketch to suit my card.

The leaf background was made using one of my stencils

from the Abundant beauty masks with lots of nice

autumn ink colours.

I added some text from the gorgeous made stamp set

and the THANKS is from biggest wishes stamp set.

It is mostly in daffodil delight colours, so bright and cheerful.

I even made a matching tag with a leftover bit from the embossed masking.

It does look much nicer in real life as the leaves look 3d.

Here is a quick video showing the process

I made another faux plank background for my tag base,
