12 tags of 2014, March

Over on Tim Holtz's blog we are challenged to create two tags using the smudge stamping technique. I've just refreshed my memory of trying out this technique in CC102 by reading it in his wonderful new book.

Anyway as soon as I saw Tim's tags I knew that I was going to make these straightaway as he used my current favourite stamps! I just had to wait for postie to bring me the spritzer which arrived late this afternoon. :-)

I used Dot Fade stencil on the second generation image and on the original image I used the Burlap stencil.

Thanks for looking,

Here is my workdesk as from this morning.

  I'm waiting for the postie to arrive then I'll have everything I need to complete these two tags. 

Keeping my fingers crossed postie will be here soon.

I'm editing to say postie arrived and the finished tags are on this post here

If you'd like to take part in hoping around different blogs on a Wednesday, pop over to Julia's Blog at the stamping ground for full details.

Thanks for passing by.

Pop-up Cover

This is my cover for Life Book week 7 taught by the lovely Jane Davenport. I've used a mix of tissue papers from Tim Holtz and Seven Gypsies and couple of different serviettes too; matt medium to hold it all in place and coloured with Beach Hut a transparent Fresco paint.

I'm still working on the pop up pieces but hope to blog these soon.

Thanks for looking.

 I really appreciate your comments so please don't be shy.
