Stand tall


 Good morning, our new challenge at Sweet Stampin' starts today- this fortnight the theme is 

TAGS

I hand cut the tag shape from white cardstock and used distress inks and a stencil to make the background and stamped around the edges with a lace- patterned stamp and Twilight Versafine Clair ink. I used the same ink and stamps on the sentiment strip. The  dark blue 'ground' is torn wahi tape- proud of this because I never think to use it! I added the dark blue criss/cross die cut and the green flowers- the mall ones are punched and the larger one cut from DP. The Julie Nutting doll has been coloured with Copics, her clothes are paper pieced. I added some ribbon and tiny green gems to finish. 

For more inspiration please hop over to the Challenge Blog to see what the Sweeties have created this week. We'd love to have you play along- remember you now have 2 weeks to add your entries.

Thanks for visiting

enjoy your weekend.

Chris
