Rough it up!

It's time for my midway post for our challenge over at

TAG-ALONG (and ATC's)

where the theme is add texture or anything goes.

For my Christmas tag I cut my base in white card

and then matted it with some woodgrain paper (SU)

which I had ran through my plank embossing folder, (SU),

and then wrapped some lace around it.

I then ran the tag through my sewing machine

for some extra texture.

Next I die cut two hearts using a Spellbinders

set. The small heart was ran through a

dotty embossing folder and I then swiped some

white ink on the raised dots.

The larger heart was embossed using a

snowflake stencil and crystal paste.

I then added some die cut snowflakes using

a Tutti die set and finished them with some

gems. The words were stamped and cut

and positioned in place.

I finished it off with some white tulle.

*********************************

Next up is my ATC. Lots of texture going on here.

So I started of with some heavy brown paper

from a Basic Grey set.

I stencilled on some crystal paste to the base

and then used some marigold embossing powder

to the bottom half and heat embossed it.

I then wrapped some twine around it.

Next I cut the coffee cup from an old paper set (SU)

along with some coffee beans.

The sentiment and spoon were stamped using the

Latte Love stamp set (SU) and all

added to my ATC.

A little bit of PINK

Today I am sharing another tag for my theme of

add some pink

over at

TAG TUESDAY

For this one I used scraps of paper which I cut into

strips and covered the base of my tag.

I inked round the edges of the tag then

die cut a large heart (Spellbinders dies) and ran it through a

dotty embossing folder from Cuttlebug.

I stamped the SMILE from a set called

Love This Moment (SU), and backed it onto some

matching paper and stuck to the centre of the heart.

The tag was finished with some tulle and a

little paper flower.

I hope you get time to join me this week.

You just need to add a little or a lot of  PINK.
