'What's on my desk'

Frankie alias Dragon's Dream asks us to surprise her this week on herTag it on challenge with 'What's on my desk' so here we are.  Before I went away three weeks ago I was working on this little piece so everything was still out on my desk on my return yesterday just waiting to be finished off.
The background was sponged with Distress Inks in various shades of blue then overstamped in black and deep purple using a mixture of Lavinia stamps. I chomped the corners and added a very deep blue ribbon to complete the tag.
Hope you like it my friend.

March Hare meets Mad Hatter at The Tea Party

Here is my entry for Dragon's Dream challenge Mad March days and also my first enty to Your Special Delivery 50/50 challenge blog using the cute Mad Hatter digi image from LLDI.
I stamped the large chipboard piece with the March Hare stamp from Sheena Douglass and the tea cups and tea pot from See D's using Black Archival ink. They were coloured with Copics and Promarkers then oversprayed with silver glitter spray from Crafter's Companion. I coloured the Mad Hatter with the same pens and oversprayed again.
For the heart tag I typed the words using Word Art printed them out attached to the heart and overprayed yet again with silver glitter.  The two tags are attached with red velvet ribbon.

The Year of the Tiger

Here is my entry for this week's Dragon's Dream challenge 'The year of the Tiger'. Frankie has not been well for some time so it is good to see her challenge back up and running with my friend Lyn otherwise known as Blackdragon as Guest Designer this week.
I stamped the background with a little Oriental tree from Debbie Moore using Ranger Distress ink Frayed Burlap and Old Paper and colour tinted the tag with the same inks. The Tiger cigarette card ( actually from a box of safety matches)was from a QVC set also edged with Distress Inks. I added a brown ribbon and a little coin tied up with gold Oriental thread then oversprayed the whole tag with Gold spray from Crafter's Companion. Hope you like it ladies and Happy New Year to all.

TAKE HEART - all will be well in the end.

Here is my take on Frankie's 'Pink, Swirly and Dotty' challenge over at Dragon's Dream Tag challenge. I stamped the lady's face, from Stik n Stamp onto white glossy card, then masked her and stamped around in various pinks using Stamp Addicts dots, Sheena's swirls and Personal Impressions flower and sentiment stamps. I attached, with a pink and silver cord, a piece of stampboard stamped in purple and coloured with pink inks and glitters. The whole card was then sprayed with Gold glitter spray from Crafter's Companion. The card and stampboard are both edged with gold Krylon pen. A lovely challenge my friend.

Postal Christmas Scene

Here is my Postal tag for Dragon's Dream 'Postal' challenge this week.

Thanks Frankie I enjoyed this one. Background created using alcohol inks then overstamped with Sheena's Ivy stamp and embossed with Lava Black and silver embossing powders. The main image stamped and coloured with Lyra's, Stickles and Inktense pens. Peace on Earth postal stamp from Hero Arts postal collection. Hope my friend like this one even though it is an early Christmas card tag lol.

Passion from the Heart

Not sure what you will think but I think they are in love. These are stamps from Sheena from the Regency plate - I love them. The background is made with Distress inks and spritzed with water and the stamping in Black Stazon. There is a black ribbon through the hole - not too clear on the scan. The glitter glues do not show terribly well either but look lovely in real life. Hope Frankie will like it over at Dragon's Dream Tag It on Challenge site.

TIME AND TIDE TAG

Here is a very large tag (could be a bookmark) made to cover three challenges tonight.

Sunday Stamper's challenge is 'Time', Frankie's Tag challenge is 'Time and Tide and Wednesday Stamper topic is 'Orange' so this fits all three.

I stamped the various images from Sheena Douglass and Stampscapes in black Archival ink then played with my wonderful new blending tool from Tim Holtz to colour with lots of inks, mainly oranges with a touch of blue for the tide.

I added the orange ribbon and oversprayed with gold glitter spray from Crafter's Companion.

B is for Blossom

My lovely friend Frankie has started up her new Tag it on challenge blog Dragon's Dream and the first challenge is Blossoms. The B stamp is from Glenda's Elusive Images stamped in brown Stazon (a change from black) onto a brown tag which I have edged in pink inks. The decoupaged wheelbarrow with flowers is from a Crafter's Delight book and I have added a pink flower brad and a brown and white spotted ribbon to complete the tag.
