Butterflies and Birdies


Morning Peeps, time's caught me out again as almost forgot my mid month share for Tag-Along (and ATC's) where we are following Lynn's Wings theme along with the AG option.

I created my aperture tag by cutting two tags then using a shaped die to create the centre panel, brayers two colours of Oxide on both, then stamped A&C Butterfly border stamp, sadly now discontinued, raised the second tag on foam tape. Stamped a few birdie also A&C and a couple more stamped and cut out on the Scan and Cut and seam binding. Entering at Hearts Quest shaped card and tags and the Card Free Zone. Layering up is the theme at Simon Say's Wednesday challenge, it's not something I do that often so hope there's enough on this one.


For my ATC, Lavinia Bumblehums masking the stamo to get just three and Wild Poppies, a piece of dies cut honeycomb, some twine and sticker sentiment and a tiny matching envie. Entering this at ATC's around the World challenge.

  2. Loving the colour choices for your pretty layered tag and the vibrancy of the colours on the ATC give it impact. A great layering idea for the tag, gives it lots of interest.

  19. Such lovely creations, Brenda, and your love of nature is evident in them. Great colour choices and I love the two colours of teine on the ATC.
    I hope you are continuing to rest until you are back to full strength, and that Holly is recovering well.

    I was told in my early 20s I'd be blind by my 30s thankfully ๐Ÿ˜… that prediction was wrong and my eye condition though serious is stable for many decades now. I am blessed. Praying for your health too.
