Say it With Flowers

Welcome everyone...............hope that the weather is improving as its very much been a mixed bag in our neck of the woods !! One minute is lovely sunshine then dark clouds and heavy rain........!!!

Today I am sharing an 8 by 8 easel card made for a friend who has recently retired.

Once again the beautiful Ophelia stamp from Stampsmith was used and a variety of leaves and tattered florals from Tim Holtz. With a little cup and saucer also making an appearance as she loves nothing more than a cup of tea !!

Having fun with Paperartsy Infusions at the moment..................so will be back to share some of the projects next week...............meanwhile look after yourselves and have fun crafting xxxxx

I am also entering this project over at 613 Avenue Create where the challenge is Anything Goes with a twist - American Beauty and Use a Rose

It has also been some time since I played over at Fashionable Stamping where the challenge theme is Beautiful Blooms. Ophelia has leaves/blooms in her hair.

Over at The Artistic Stamper the challenge theme is All Things Bright and Beautiful and as my card is lovely and bright with florals/butterflies etc I am sharing it over there

Live & Love Crafts new challenge theme is Sprinkles of Summer, where my lovely florals, butterflies with pearls and  stamped image fit in.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is Anything Goes

As always thank you for taking the time to visit and leave a comment. They are truly appreciated xx

Tag and Tattered Flowers

Hi Everyone

This is a tag that I made for Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2012 and  the Fashionable Stamping Challenge.

Many of us are huge fans of Ranger and Tim's techniques/creations. I try to participate as often as I can in the 12 tags of 2012 and below you can see my take on Tim's tag for August.

August Tag

I improvised Tim's tag as there were several items that I did not have, however,  by swapping some of the techniques around I was still able to meet the challenge.  Techniques for the August Tag are available on Tim's blog by clicking HERE.

As I did not have the folders Tim used I used an oval tag and  another sizzix embossing folder. Instead of a stamped frame I used a die cut frame, inking it with Dark soot DI and then clear embossing.  I used a crown stamp in the centre of the aperture, instead of the shadow  stamp image Tim used.

The handmade tattered florals were made using Sizzix TH die cuts and kraft card. This is the first time I have made these flowers and I had great fun.

Over at Fashionable Stamping this week  challenge  29 is  Anything Floral/Handmade Flowers.
As always the DT have created fabulous inspirational pieces and its  always fun to enter.

Crafty Hugs as always
