Tags and Stags


As explained the other day, short scheduled posts, this one for the start of new challenges at Tag-Along (and ATC's) where Pinky would like to see some texture, Moving Along With The Times with a Winter Wonderland theme and by default I'd agreed to help out at Love to Craft and had a card made ready for the A/G theme.

My tag uses TH ephemera, AALL and Create flowers and Butterfly, texture paste and harlequin stencil which is stamped over with text. I would like to enter at the Outlawz Card Free ZoneCreative Artiste mixed media, Colour Dare with shades of orange and Heartsquest shapes cards and tags.


The Penguins are A&C, stamped, cut out and just a little colour, inked background with sparkle texture paste snowflakes stencilled. I've just been alerted that ATC's Around the World would like to see Penguins!


My MAWTT share uses a mixture of stamps from Penny Black, Lavinia and my own Christmas Season stamp set, soft ink blending for the background and lots of sparkly snow.


Finally, for Love to Craft a festive wreath using Lavinia stamps and stencil. The 12 Months of Christmas has a new challenge, this is for the A/G option.

A great choice of words on your beautiful colourful tag. A great atmospheric icy ATC. A beautiful stag card reminds me of my walks at the deer park. Such a pretty stencil too with the soft stencilling.

What a lovely post Brenda. You created some great textures on your tags. I need to think about how I want to create some texture. And nice cards too. I just love the holiday wreaths you've created lately, and the sky view with the deer is beautiful. Hope you're back up on your feet and feeling more like yourself again. hugs-Erika
