Yesterday I started clearing up in my bed room. There are piles of things that need sorting out, loads of things higgledy piggledy in the wardrobe that need to be put straight, and then perhaps it will look more welcoming. I have decided to do half an hour a day till it's done, just hope that I don't mess it all up again in between.
Yesterday I made some more tags. On Saturday I got another nice box, which I changed into a pile of tags, and so I had an itty-bitty day doing bits and pieces. I did some painting, too, but that has to be finished for Friday, so you will see it then.
One of the tags is for the *Three Muses Challenge* , where the theme this week is *stairs*. I know my title is not very original, but it just seemed to fit!
The next one is for *Simon Says Stamp and show* - a flourish. The tag has been distressed with TH inks in gradient colours, and the background stamped with script and diamond pattern, and then clear embossed. I added a rather surreal mix of images. The top image is from CI, and also has a diamond pattern in it. The flourish has been cut from a piece of embossed and distressed coredinations paper.
This tag has been made using one of the flower fairies I got from Zoe, and the tree has been cut from some paper I got from Gaby. I made a hole in the tag, and pushed the feather into the fairy's hand, so it looks like she is tickling the owls, who are certainly looking rather grumpy! I am entering this into the challenge at *One stop Craft Challenge* where you have to show a tag, and this is two!
So, that was it for today. Have a lovely day, take care, and thanks for visiting. And Many, many thanks to all who visited and left such encouraging comments on my *Sixties* art.
As always Valerie - wonderful tags.
ReplyDeleteI love them all but the fairy and owls is so quirky.
Sun shining here too but not going to last. :(
