Tag!

I had some spare time this afternoon so decided to have a practice at making this tag.
The original is on a blog post at Paper Artsy, and when I receive my set of JOFY stamps, I will have another attempt. This one was all about using what I have!
I will add it to the challenge  at

Summertime!

Here is a quick card that I needed to make for a wee boy. I have embossed the yellow and the blue with an embossing folder, and then diecut the yacht in various colours and pieced it together. The 'hi' is also a cuttlebug folder. I added a little extra colour to the 'sea' and the 'summer sky'

pretty pendant

Thanks to following the Paper Artsy blog, I got out my shrink plastic and had a little play, to make this pendant.
I first painted with some Folk Art paint and next day stamped with my CI 320 stamp with Brilliance graphite black. I added a little colour to the flowers, leaves, and the bird with copics, and, after shrinking, then added about 4 coats of Utee, which has made the scan get a reflection in it!

Vintage

I had fun making this card with a CI stamp that had not yet seen ink! It is such a pretty image -  clothes from possibly around the 1880's' I coloured it with a mixture of chalk pastels, promarkers and copics. Then cut around it and layered onto a piece of DP.
I have edged it with a border diecut in black and a pretty piece of old lace. Then trimmed with some old silk ribbon, a flower and an eiffel tower cut on my Cameo.

Summer garden

Just slipping another one into the Playground at Pixies Crafty Workshop
Summer garden from CI embossed with pearl EP and some kindy glitz added to the wings and the wee flowers. Layered onto a snippet of spotty paper

Snippet's Day!

Today, I searched through the snippets box to see what I could find to make for the playground over at Pixie's place, and I came up with this

 3 narrow strips glued on and a flower cut with a spellbinders die and run through the CB with swiss dots folder, and a pearl added in the centre.

A new style for me!

This is way out of my comfort zone, but I had such fun playing with various distress inks, bubble wrap, stencils, smooch, and my new Tim Holtz stamp set - Curious Possibility.- the base is kraft card. It started off to be a tag, but then I turned it into a card instead. I have also shown the inside and the back as well

 The inspiration came from Brenda Brown at Bumblebees and Butterflies and Paper Artsy.
