Tag for Carol

This is my third tag for a collaborative forum challenge.

This time I have made one for Carol who chose the theme of words or quotes. I've used part of a Tim Holtz stamp for the quote inside the Tattered Angels Butterfly chipboard shape which has been painted with two different colours of Viva Precious metal paints then filled with crackle accents. The lace has been coloured with a dye ink pad and embossed using a glittered embossing powder. Unfortunately I can't find the lead to download photos from my camera so this has been scanned. I'm glad to say that the flower has sprung back to shape after being a bit squashed. Hope you like it Carol and sorry it's a bit late!

Quote reads " Life isn't about finding yourself life is about creating yourself."

Spring themed Tag

Wrinkle free distress with a Spring themed tag was the forum challenge for March, which I set. Sorry I'm so late with posting mine girls I got a wee bit behind last month!

The letter S is embossed metal, I think the scanner has made it look black when in fact it's a bright shiny silver colour.

This also fits in with this weeks Tag You're It! theme of "On a bough" thanks for the reminders.

More birthday cards

Another two forum birthday cards and I've pinched their photos too, hope you don't mind girls.

The first was for Paula and the second for Joanne.

For both cards I was inspired by Tim Holtz, the first from watching one of his DVD and used the brushless water colour technique the second was from his fabulous book using the perfect distress technique. Hope you both had a wonderful day.

90th Birthday Card

Commissioned card for a 90th Birthday using Martha Stewart around the page punchs and butterfly punch & stamps on vellum.

A couple of forum birthday cards

Sorry, I've been a terrible blogger of recent. My poor old computer is on it's last legs and it seems to take a lifetime to do anything here.

The first card here is for Chris and the second for Galina.

These cards are a little late coming onto the blog there should be more over the next couple of days.

A tag with words

This is my second tag for a collaborative forum challenge.

This time I have made one for Jo who chose the theme of words or quotes. I've used part of a verse from one of the new TSS moulds, Cuttlebug embossing folder, TTS metals, Alcohol inks, Gesso and Glimmer mists to create this piece. Hope you like it Jo.

The words say:

A bird's little chirp can turn into a beautiful song as life comes and goes ten seconds long

Time tag

I've made this tag for another collaborative forum challenge. This time I have made one for Paula who chose the theme time or place. I've used Tim Holtz masks and distress inks along with PaperArtsy stamps for the background, the metal embellishment and the UTEE timepiece. Hope you like it Paula.
