Good Morning lovely visitors and thanks for dropping by.
Just a nod to the weather ..... I hope if you're here in Blighty you are not being battered too badly by gales and lashing rain. Here in Notts it is grey and windy but not much rain so far. It's not looking promising though :-(!
Anyway, something strange happened in my craftroom last night ............ I made something for a challenge, lol! I think this will be only my 4th ever challenge entry, whoohoo!!! I was rummaging through my stamp collections yesterday and came across an Indigo Blu set called Music Hall that had not seen a smidge of ink since I bought them and I remembered that the current Dragon's Dream Tag It On Challenge theme is blue, music and tissue/tissue tape so I decided to have a go.
I used Distress Stains to start off my background and then moved on to Distress Inks through several stencils/masks followed by stamping with Archival and Distress Inks, all of it in various shades of blue. I stamped the main image onto white card, cut it out with a die and then blended Adirondack and Distress Inks over the poster image to create a spotlight effect and added the pearl drop and charm before attaching it to my tag with 3D pads. Of course, there is some Tissue Tape on there, albeit reluctantly 'cos I don't get on with that stuff at all well. ...... takes me ages to get the darned stuff to realise it is not going to be allowed to peel off of it'ts own accord!
I stamped the quote from the same stamp set, cut each word out separately and added them to the tag before finally adding the ribbons.
Tomorrow I'll be back with my first project of the week for Snazzy's DT so hope you can drop by again. Till then ................
Hugs
Lesley Xx
