Hi everybody!
It's time for another edition of double Tuesday, with my tag for Tag Tuesday and my DT piece for Try it on Tuesday.
Thanks for all the good wishes for my finger. I am not usually so clumsy, but as I can't see much on the left side at the moment, accidents seem to happen. I hope it will be easier after the eye OP.

Well, my tag for Tag Tuesday is not finished, and I can't finish it just now, as my poor, cut finger is playing me up a bit. Our theme is myths and legends, and I started on a tag with giants and brave knights, so I asking you to IMAGINE the tag this week - sorry!
But while we are on the subject of Tag Tuesday, the lovely Mo, a fellow Tag Tuesday member, sent me a wonderful parcel last week with lots of goodies, including a beautiful calendar-tag - which I have here on my desk, hand-printed and painted papers, designer papers, pergament paper and tissue paper, gorgeous serviettes for scrapbooking, embellishments, vintage book pages and more. Thank you so much for your kindness Mo, I will have great fun using all these goodies in my work.
I am pleased that I managed to finish my DT piece for TIOT before I cut my finger!
Our theme is celebrations, and I have made a little book celebrating Valentine's Day. The covers are made from chipboard, which have been textured using embossing paste, painted, distressed, stamped, partly embossed wth frantage gold etc. etc. I used a mix of white paper and DP for the pages.
Front cover:
Inside front cover - I cut all those little flowers out and placed them over each other with foam pads to make a littly posy; the background has been stamped, and partly embossed with frantage and perfect pearls.

I crackled and distressed all the images;
That's all for today, thanks for coming by, have a great day and take good care of yourself!

Wonderful and I love the crackling on your make - it does lend of look of antiquity doesn't it!
