Time for more pink!

It's time for our midway post over at

TAG-ALONG (and ATC's)

where the optional theme is

add a little or a lot of pink.

For my tag I made the background on my gelli plate

using lace and pink and white acrylic paints.

I then stamped some text using

Gorgeously Made stamps (SU).

I then stamped the blueberries using

Berry Blessings (SU) and green

and blue inks.

I then ran the tag through my sewing machine

and inked around the edges.

I stamped the sentiment onto a circle

and added some lace and

bakers twine for texture.

I finished with a pearl heart

and some natural fibres in blue.

For my ATC the background was made using

the gelli plate.

I cut my atc then sprayed it with

cosmic shimmer mist in deep pink.

I stamped the little girl and sentiment

using a set

called Silhouette Scenes (SU).

Then using Gorgeous Made (SU),

I added some text and stars.

Next I used some embossing paste (TH)

and a stencil from SU.

I inked up the edges in black to finish.

I went with this poor giraffe and made a bookmark.

The background was made on my gelli plate

using acrylic paint and sponges

but I did mask off my giraffe first.

I then added some embossing paste (TH)

and a leaf stencil (SU).

At the bottom I added some green fun flock

to ground my giraffe.

I removed the mask and coloured him

up with markers.

I stamped the sentiment and chopped it up

to fit down the centre of the bookmark.

I finished it off with some black wool.

The Giraffe is from an old SU set

called Back on your Feet.

For our May challenge over at

We Love Stamping

the theme is 

All Creatures great and Small.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs here too

so come and join us!

For my card I used a cream base which I didn't like

so I inked it with green ink.

I then stencilled the background using a stencil

from IndigoBlu in green ink and

ran it through my sewing machine.

Next I stamped the gorgeous fox (IndigoBlu)

and coloured him up with markers.

I ripped around the edges of him

and before sticking in place,

I added some string so it would

show behind him.

I stamped and inked the sentiment,

chopped it up and placed on my card

to finish.

Tag and ATC

I have a tag for our midway post over at

TAG-ALONG (and ATC's)

where the optional theme is

blossoms, butterflies and birds.

For my tag I used an old set from SU called

Framed Florets. The shape of my tag was cut

using two of the dies in the set.

I then cut an oval, stamped my flowers onto it

and layered behind the green oval.

I stamped the flowers again, cut them out,

coloured them with markers

and layered them onto the tag.

I stamped the sentiment in yellow ink

and finished with a yellow bow and some green gems.

For my ATC I made a background on my brand new

Gelli plate. Brenda said I NEEDED one!!

I hadn't a clue what I was doing but gave

it a go anyway lol.

I used blue and yellow inks and an old SU stamp

called crackle paint to create the look.

When dry I stamped the flowers along the bottom

using an SU set called Dragonfly Garden,

and coloured them up with markers.

I then stamped, punched and coloured the

butterflies (Butterfly Gala SU) and finished with a

stamped sentiment.
