Over at 'Out of a Hat Creations' the ladies want to see us using our fave techniques this week. Difficult, as I have so many. But I decided on using layers, which is something I love, whether in painting, scrapping, card- or tag-making. I have made 2 more masculine tags in muted shades, using my much loved umbrella man from TH. I have used different papers from Bo Bunny, Graphics 45 and a steampunk freebie from 'free vintage digis'.
Okay, that's all for today! I will be back on Tuesday with my new circus tag. Take care, and thanks for coming by!
Just briiliant work on these cards and layering always looks so classy I think.
ReplyDeleteYour link on Out of a Hat doesn't bring us to here Valerie so if you would like to add it again it would be wonderful as we don't want anyone to miss your terrific work.
Love Chrissie xx
Great masculine cards Valerie, love the umbrella man too - I have the stamp but not the die - Hmmn! See you Tues. Take care. xx

I love your cards Valerie! They are beautifully grungy and I love how you've used the umbrella man! The layers are wonderful and add such depth and interest. Certainly two very classy cards as far as I'm concerned (loads of others too I would imagine!).
