Birdsong

Good Afternoon, well I have had another go at a Tag for DragonsDream Tag it On this week, where the theme is from the book Birdsong.  I've not read this one, so I have just gone for the Bird.  I coloured the tag with Weathered Wood and Peeled Paint Distress Ink, the sentiment, flowers and bird are all Chocolate Baroque stamps and the group of birds is a Clarity Stamp.  I am not really sure about this, think I should have used a lighter ink for the reeds, flowers and bull rushes.  I coloured the bird with  Promarkers

Thank you so much for visiting

The Time Traveller's Wife

Hi Folks, my share today isn't a card - I've jumped out of my comfort zone and had a play with a tag for DragonsDream TIO Challenge - Time, from the book The Time Traveller's Wife.  The card I have used to make the tag is from a play session I had the other day with Distress Stains, as shown in this month's Craft Stamper.  The clock image is the cover free stamp from an earlier copy of the magazine, the sentiment is from Clarity the flowers and gem are from my stash and the little parcel is an offcut from the original bit of card.  I coloured the ribbon to match.

Thanks for taking the time to visit me today, I am really not sure about this piece as I am very new to inking techniques and am never quite sure if I have pulled it off or not.  Sorry about the pic but my camera and computer don't want to talk to each other, think I need a new cable, so have used my phone to take this one.

A second post

Back again.  I don't usually post twice in one day, but I had a bit of a play just now and had a go at a tag for Dragon's Dream TIO which this week is Let's Face It.  I used a Craft Stamper freebe stamp with an archival black inkpad and  masked it, then over stamped with a script stamp - think it's an Aspects of Design one.  Before removing the mask I used one of my Judikins colour dusters and Brushed Corduroy DI to colour the tag, then a couple of Promarkers to colour the face and what looks like a hair band.  I rooted around in my ribbon bag to find something to match the hairband and found these three bits of red fibre to finish off my creation.   Hope you like it cos this really isn't my comfort zone, usually everything I try like this ends up a complete mess.  Must admit though, that I think this went quite well.

Something different

A second late post from me today.  I made this tag this evening for DragonsDream Tag It On challenge, which is 'Along the River'.  I don't normally do tags but felt like trying something different for a change, especially as I had the house to myself tonight - OH was off hitting little white balls around. The challenge was set by fellow Rainbow Friend and Guest Host for this week, Janet of Redmoss Ramblings do pop along to her blog, she does some amazing work, and her tag is gorgeous.

  The image for my tag is a Personal Impressions Stamp that I have had for ages, which barely sees the light of day.  I stamped with Black Versafine and then coloured using watercolour pencils.  I masked the main image and used a cut out circle and cut out clouds before sponging with Adirondack Stonewash for the sky.  The birds are by Clarity.

I hope you like my tag and thank you for visiting again,
