Style is .....


For the challenge at Rainbow Lady's Challenge blog and that at Colour Create

Postcard Tag


For the challenge at DragonsDream Tag It On.

I printed this vintage postcard back on a piece of cream card and stamped it with pen, nib, inkwell,blotter, and frank stamps by Non Sequitur and a script stamp by Image Tree by EK Success using Archival Ink 'Sepia', Nick Bantock 'Charcoal Grey' and 'Lamp Black', and Distress Ink 'Tea Dye'. I did a little colouring with Copic Ciao pens and the final touch was a lovely elastic band courtesy of my postman who is incredibly generous with them - so much so that I have bags full of them!!!

Friends


For the challenge at Tuesday Taggers which is 'Give it Some Distress!'

I have used Distress inks in 'mustard seed', 'walnut stain', 'tea dye', and 'dusty concord' to create the background and splashed it with water. The image, a stamp also by Tim Holtz, was stamped using Nick Bantock ink in 'Lamp Black' and a little paper piecing done to bring out some parts of the image.

Dragonfly Tag



For this week's challenge at DragonsDream Tag It On.

The stamp is from Aspects of Design Sheet 03 'Botanical' and I used Nick Bantock ink 'Van Dyke Brown' and holographic embossing powder (see detail picture). The background was done with Moonshadow Inks and mounted on copper Alchemy card. The silver charm butterfly was coloured with a copic marker to blend in with the overall colourway
