TGIF peeps!

Morning readers,

I needed to make some tags, to match a birthday card so I set off for my ToC (that's Table of Craftiness) to do just that, it seemed prudent to make a co-ordinating ATC whilst I had the stamps, stencil, etc out and on acrylic blocks - check them out.

Materials used:

  • ATC blank
  • Snippets of card in white and pink
  • Picture This image (from "Little people too" - ref: 033) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
  • Faber Castell polychromos pencils used to colour image
  • Clearly Besotted cloud stencil (CBTCL349) used (with makeup brush) to apply Memento Bahama blue "clouds" to my background

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

  1. Creative Inspiration - challenge No. 23 - ANYTHING GOES
  2. Stencil Fun - Feb challenge - ANYTHING GOES + (optional) PINK/RED
  3. Shopping Our Stash - challenge No. 540 - CRAFTY REMNANTS
  4. Pammie's Inky Pinkies - challenge No. 2505 - ANYTHING GOES
  5. Simon Says Stamp - Monday challenge - BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL

And now for the two gift tags ... the reason I got these stamps out in the first place!

Identical gift tags, front and back

Materials used:

  • Snippet of white card
  • Paper Smooches Layering tag dies
  • Picture This image (from "Little people too - ref: 033) stamped using Versafine Clair morning mist ink
  • Faber Castell Polychromos pencils used to colour my image
  • Hero Arts sentiment (C4633) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
  • Clearly Besotted could stencil (CBTCL349) used (with makeup brush) to apply Memento Bahama blue "clouds" to my tag background

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. As you like it - Feb 6th challenge - Favourite: stamping/digi and why ... me I like stamping, it's more satisfying IMHO
  2. Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - Feb 5th challenge - ANYTHING GOES
  3. Everybody Art - challenge No. 572 - DIES and/or PUNCHES
  4. Hand Stamped Sentiments - challenge No. 456 - Mood Board

What a sweet couple on the scooter Kathy and works brilliantly on both the ATC and the tags, and love the added pretty blue cloudy sky, and the card looks great too with the image over the orange splatter. x

A great co-ordinating set - good thinking to makes card, tags and ATC while you had the stamps and other items out on the Toc.

Great gift tags! Beautiful image and a great color scheme. I love the feeling of wind and freedom. And this couple seems to enjoy it too. Great background with this stencil and a beautiful die cut of the tag. The card is also fabulous.
Thank you for sharing with the current Everybody Art Challenge.
Hugs, Uschi
