Inspired By.........

Tag Your It challenge this week is to make a tag  including things that inspire you.  All sorts of things inspire me and I find sometimes inspirations comes from the most unusual places.  I have made my tag using Nature as my inspiration and Tim Holtz Stamps and Alcohol Inks as all things Tim Inspire me - who can resist lol.

Background made using Alcohol Inks and Images stamped and embossed in Black.

Needle and Thread

It has been a busy week as I said in my previous post so I won't ramble on about it here but I finished the ironing(boring) and then felt I could find some crafty time so ran into my room of craft and with time not being on my side and I made this quick tag for the Tag Your It challenge this week which is Needle & Thread.   The tag was cut from a background I had made previously with Tim Holtz Distress Inks, can't remember which ones but a mixture of the pinks I would think judging by the colour.
Have to say that these stamps were already on my desk so I didn' even look at anything else just used what was to hand for quickness so I stamped a flourish -Tim Holtz-onto the tag and then, following the flourish ,I stitched in linen thread. I used a stamp set from Stampin' Up! Vintage Vogue - just love this set- and stamped and distressed the small flower and also stamped a background flourish, the butterfly was from another Stampin' Up set which I stamped and then punched out with the matching punch.

I was pleased with the result sometimes things do come together in a rush lol.

I shall be joining in the June swap over at Tag Your It and will email for addy after I have posted this.

Peeking Angel

I had a busy day in the garden yesterday and I should be there now plants to plant in our new borders before it gets too hot - so this is a quick post to show you the tag I made last night.  I couldn't resist the Tag challenge Heaven Sent over at Tag Your It  now I only have the choice of one angel stamp, well two really same angel in different poses, this tag developed as I went along and ended up very pink and sparkly which I don't often do so a bit different for me.  The main tag I made using Distress Inks and water, I then scrunched up the card while wet to give the look of hand made paper when dry - still had to do the distressing stuff - think I am addicted.  I embossed the angels in Gold and coloured using Cosmic Shimmer water colour paints, I added Cosmic twinkles to their wings......I Hope you like it.

Stamps used Judikins, Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Victorian Velvet, Spun Sugar, Cosmic Shimmer paints& Twinkles, rest from my stash.




I may pop back later with some photos of the garden maybe............
bye for now

Whiter Shade of Pale

I love Tags and I have just come across Tag, your It and the theme this week is a whiter shade of pale, now I remember this song and loved it have been singing along as I made tag - I know sad!  Anyway here is my tag and I will definitely be back for the next tag challenge and looking forward to June when we can swap Whooo Hoo Love swaps.  I have used Tim Holtz Caged Bird Sizzix Die, Sizzix Tag die, Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Antique Linen .  I embossed the card with a cuttlebug folder and inked  lightly  over the embossed impression, same with the flower and added a diamond (not a real one, lol) brad.  Lastly I tied ribbon through the holes on cage die.  If you love tags pop over and take a look.
