Double Tuesday

Hi everybody!

After the enormous heat of the weekend we almost got washed away last night and today when it stormed and  the rain came down so hard that some roads changed into rivers, man-hole covers were forced up by the amount of water under them and many cellars were flooded; once again Dusseldorf got hit really badly. I went for my morning walk wearing shorts, rain-coat and wellington boots. I must have looked a real sight, but who cares? The few people I met who were out being walked by  their dogs were wearing similar outfits!  The afternoon walk was a little better, it just drizzled, and I am wondering how it will be tomorrow. At least it's never boring!

At Tag Tuesday our theme this week is 'summer holidays'. I used a scrap of a master board I made a couple of years back using card, tissue paper and various paints and sprays. The image is from Gecko Galz, and has been fussy cut and mounted onto some textile leaves and a piece of open-weave material. I added some fibres and a little bird charm. I mounted it onto a second tag made from cardboard, partly peeled and gessoed. I am linking this tag to Make my Monday, Vacations.

At Try it on Tuesday our theme this fortnight is 'Things with wings'. You have 2 weeks to get your creative juices flowing and link up your creation.

I made a large (12") tag from DP, mounted onto black card. I glued scraps of  paper napkins onto it, and then used my diamond stencil with a mix of bead-gel, terracotta paint and Stickles. The lady is a cut-out from a magazine ad, and has been surrounded with gilding flakes, which I also used on the butterfly's wings.

This was a fun make!

I am linking to Moo Mania and More, anything goes,  and to That's crafty, use masks or  stencils

The cactus plants on my balcony looked most interesting today with the sprinkling of rain-drops on them.

That's enough for today! Take care, have fun, 

and thanks a lot for coming by!
