A tag day

Hi everyone, 
Thanks so much for popping in . 
We have a new follower. Welcome 
I hope you will enjoy being here 
I really do appreciate all your friendship and support on here 

Bless you all, thanks so much. 
We have been together for many years now 

Today I have a wonderful tag to share with you 




I do love the fact that Lavinia are now  selling some Sizzix dies. 
This tag die is one of my favourites 





I started off with some swiping,,..
Just pull the ink pad along the card…we have done this old technique so many times 





I love these 2 colours together 
Next some water , 



And some white acrylic chalk paint 
Really adds interest to the background 



A hint of stencil work 
All these layers build up 



Next I stamped and cut out the small hummingbird and one of the new Flower Divine stamps 



Finishing tricks, 
Sentiment, glossy accents and posca 

Here is a closer look 




Oh and craft yarn too 

I really enjoyed playing , and creating this 

One more sleep 

New stamps released tomorrow 
Some time on Thursday 4th July 

Take care all 
Much love and hugs

Summer Moon

Morning everyone 
I do hope your new week has started well. 
Wow, it is also a new month 
We are now in July….

So that means that we have a new Lavinia Challenge 
And our new theme is 
Summer Moon 

Now you can interpret that so many different ways 
Here is some inspirations for you 



Remember the winner is chosen at random and wins £40 voucher to spend at Lavinia 

I started off by creating my summer moon…a vibrant orange moon 
I then added some stamping 




Some scenery, a moody summer sky 





Next some foliage 



and finally those all important finishing touches , 
Highlights and shadows. 

I do hope you will enter the challenge…

Busy day here 
Lots of jobs to tick of my list 

So I’m off now, but will be back later with my 
Monday catch up video 

Enjoy your day 
Much love and hugs
