Time for more pink!

For my tag I made the background on my gelli plate

Gorgeously Made stamps (SU).

I then stamped the blueberries using

Berry Blessings (SU) and green

and blue inks.

bakers twine for texture.

I finished with a pearl heart

and some natural fibres in blue.

It's time for a midway post over at

TAG-ALONG (and ATC's)

where the theme is red and green/anything goes.

And remember you can now enter with a tag,

For my tag I started with a white background,

punched for the tag shape using my trio punch.

I then played around with my green and red inks,

spritzing with water and allowing it to

get it's groove on lol.

When dry, I dipped the lid of my wink of stella pen

into white ink and added the circles to the bottom

of the tag.

I then flicked some gold and white ink over the

whole tag. I die cut the snowflake (Tutti Designs)

and added to the centre and decorated with

a large red pearl.

I stamped the sentiment (SU) and added  to

the tag and then went in with some red

enamel effects for more texture.

I inked around the edge of the tag in green

and finished with some red and green ribbon

through the eyelet.

I would like to enter my tag into

I then went in with a stencil (SU) and added

some Tim Holtz crystal paste.

I then used a stamp/die set called  Dashing Deer

and die cut the reindeer in kraft card.

I stamped the little flower over the top of

him and added a tiny dot of enamel effects in red.

I added him to my ATC

and then drew around him in black to make him pop.

I finished with a sticker sentiment.

For my Christmas tag I cut my base in white card

and then matted it with some woodgrain paper (SU)

which I had ran through my plank embossing folder, (SU),

and then wrapped some lace around it.

I then ran the tag through my sewing machine

for some extra texture.

Next I die cut two hearts using a Spellbinders

set. The small heart was ran through a

dotty embossing folder and I then swiped some

white ink on the raised dots.

The larger heart was embossed using a

snowflake stencil and crystal paste.

I then added some die cut snowflakes using

a Tutti die set and finished them with some

gems. The words were stamped and cut

and positioned in place.

I finished it off with some white tulle.

Next up is my ATC. Lots of texture going on here.

So I started of with some heavy brown paper

from a Basic Grey set.

I stencilled on some crystal paste to the base

and then used some marigold embossing powder

to the bottom half and heat embossed it.

I then wrapped some twine around it.

Next I cut the coffee cup from an old paper set (SU)

along with some coffee beans.

The sentiment and spoon were stamped using the

Latte Love stamp set (SU) and all

added to my ATC.

Add some texture!

It's time for a new theme over at

TAG-ALONG (and ATC's)

and this time it was my turn to challenge the ladies

and I want to see texture on their projects.

For my tag I used papers from Basicgrey in green

for my base. I used my trio punch for the shape.

I then cut a piece of designer paper from the same set

and ran it through an embossing folder to added

texture. I then added some white ink to the embossing

to make it stand out more.

This was attached to my base and I ran

it through my sewing machine.

Next I stamped and die cut the leaf using

some gold sparkle embossing powder and die.

You can just about see it in the photo.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment in

gold powder onto a piece of torn vellum.

The stamp set is called Gather Together (SU).

I added some eyelets to either side and laced

some hairy string through it to hold in place.

I finished with some gems in green

and some fibres at the top.

Still not satisfied, I flicked some white ink

over the whole tag.

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

Next up is my ATC.

I used a piece of linen card for the base

and ran some luster rub-ons across it in brown.

I tore a scrap of paper, same as above, to fit

over the top of the base.

I wrapped it with the same hairy string

and then stuck to my base.

I then die cut some leaves in vellum

using the Gather Together bundle (SU),

and again ran my finger over them with the rub-ons

to add some colour and show up the embossing.

These were stuck to opposite corners.

I punched some script into a circle

and again added the rub-ons.

You can imagine how messy my finger is now lol.

I layered up the sentiment from Hunkydory and

stuck in place.

It's time for my midway post for our

Autumn challenge theme over at

Tag-along (and ATC's).

For this one I used some background paper

from a set I bought years ago from Lidl would you believe!

It is gorgeous papers, partly embossed and sparkled.

So I ran it through my printer with this gorgeous image

from Mo's Digital Designs and printed the sentiment,

dog and leaves.

I then stamped the little dog out on my colouring

card so I could add colour with my markers.

I then cut him out and stuck him on top

of printed area.

I added some colour to the leaves and

finished the tag with some ribbon and a

cute bone brad from my stash.

I then cut a piece of yellow card which

I ran through with a floral embossing folder.

I then ran my finger over with some lustre rub-ons.

Next I stamped some leaves using

Gather Together (SU) stamp set and cut them out.

and orange colour to them and then cut as above

to fit my tag.

A nice way to start the week? Yes!

I am using up lots of neglected stash,

getting use out of my older stamps

and using up some of my ribbon stash!

For my tag I have used stamps from Scrapberry called Best Friends,

papers were a gift from my lovely friend Carol

and I embellished it with a sentiment card from a paper pack from

Echo Park called Dive into Summer.

The shape has been punched using my best trio punch (SU)

and I finished with a scrap of ribbon.

The little girl has been coloured using markers and

then fussy cut.

So to go along with my tag I had to include an ATC.

This time I went all inky using a stamp set

from AALL & Create (thank you Carol)

called See you Soon.

I used tahitian tide and boho blue inks (SU)

for the background along with a stencil

which was free with a magazine a long time ago.

The flowers have been coloured with

gel pens so they would cover the inky

stencilling beneath them.

I finished off with some enamel effects in grey

to add some texture.
