Tag Tuesday & More

At Tag Tuesday our theme this week is *seabirds*. My tag has been made from a strip of water colour paper, on which I painted the sky before adding the sand and water, for which I used torn strips of paper with edges inked in wild honey and blue jeans DI. The strips give the illusion of more depth. The deckchairs and beach huts have been stamped onto patterned paper and fussy cut before being fixed on. For the chairs I used foam squares to add more depth. The boat and the birds have been fussy cut and decoupaged, and then I added a conversation from gull to gull....

For week 2 of the *silhouettes* challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad I have made a very simple tag with a tree and owl silhouette. The tree is from Tim Holtz, the owl is a digi-stamp. I distressed the background over a small round of paper to make a moon mask.

I got some happy mail last week from Karen. Not only did she send a tidy packet of crafty goodies, but also these beautiful little tiles and an altered scrabble piece. They really are miniature art.works. Thanks a lot, Karen, they will be treasured!

So, that was all for today! Have a good day, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
