Tags at Sweet Stampin'





Hello, I'm still running a bit late- but gradually catching up, it's amazing how much there is to do after just a week away. It's been a beautiful day today and I must confess to taking a teeny little time out to have a tiny little read out in the sunshine...it would be a shame to miss out on what will probably be my last chance as it seems the weather is about to change after today. 

A new challenge started today over at Sweet Stampin'

- the theme for this fortnight is TAGS.

I die cut a fairly large tag from white cardstock and smooshed it into some purple, yellow and blue distress inks adding a few splatters of the same colours. I stamped the beautiful Pink Ink witch directly onto the tag, then stamped her again onto white card, coloured her with markers, then cut her out-minus her hair- and adhered her onto the first image- a whole lot easier than trying to cut round that hair! I stamped the sentiment and the foliage around the edges using grey Versafine Clair ink, colouring the leaves with a green sparkle gel pen, then tied on some fibres and ribbon. It makes a great bookmark.

Do hop over to the challenge blog to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the team, I hope you'll be inspired to join us.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend

The beautiful witch and your background are stunning Chris

Despite the Witch you tag has a lovely dreamy feel to it Chris, it's the blend of colours that does it, clearly she's a good Witch.

I have this stamp, but I must say I've never used it. (SHame on me, right?) You however have created an amazing tag with it. And you've inspired me for certain. Thanks for sharing this beautiful tag with us at TIOT for our challenge. Hugs-Erika
