2012 Tags March

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2012 March Tag

Instead of doing the 12 tags of Christmas this year Tim is doing the 12 tags of 2012, which I think is a great idea, December has always been to hectic for me to join in the fun but one tag a month is a great idea.

I've used the large book-plate stamp for the background using pine needles distress ink. Seafoad EP as the grout for the butterflies, it's a little too bright but it's the closest I have to the cement. Finished off with four Prima flowers held together with a heart shaped brad that had a splash of green alcohol ink. For full details see Tim's blog.

Forum Birthday Card

I had great fun making the background for this card using an acrylic paint resist technique, plenty of inks and a bit of spritzing too. And of course one of my favourite stamps from Crafty individuals. This one was for Galina.

Heart Mobile

I had a wonderful class with Linda Elbourne last Sunday where we made these fabulous Heart Hangings, from a wooden heart mobile kit. Linda is not only an excellent educator she's very entertaining too. The day went by very quickly, with excellent company too. Gabby brought along a very scrummy cake, for us all. Before we knew it was time to go brave the elements again. A big thank you to Francesca for taking me.

My hanging is a bit brighter than this photo but the light quality is bad, if I can get a better photo tomorrow I'll replace this picture.
