Postcard Art

 Just dropped in the share my postcard.

I'm entering it in to the challenge over at Sunday Postcard Art where the theme this week is Vintage

I cut my postcard to size 4"x6" and layered up some of my handmade rice paper. I am delighted with the result.

Next I added some vintage postage stamps and the images of the 2 girls as well as the pattern number.

The images were from an old dress making pattern wallet, I thought they would look perfect against my background.

Here are the rice papers I  made, I shall definitely be making some more that's for sure!

Halloween Atc

 Those that remember know that I have always liked creating Artist Trading Cards.

Over the years I have been in several groups and been involved in a lot of swaps.

I came across this Atc Challenge Blog a while back, even entered a couple of times and have decided that I will play along on a regular basis.

This month their theme is Halloween. So I rooted through my stash and created this Atc.

I started with a yellow atc and mounted some halloween paper on it. The label was rubber stamped on to some orange card and layered up on white and black card.

The face was stamped and then coloured, the photo doesn't really show how green the eyes are!

I decided to add the spider at the last minute,lol.

Atc with a Heart

Autumn Colours

 Good  Morning, hope everyone is tickety boo today.

I'm posting my 2 Tags to inspire folk to join in with the current challenge over at Tag Tuesday. 

The theme, chosen by our lovely Valerie is Autumn Colours, unfortunately Valerie has been quite poorly and was in hospital. She is at home now resting and getting better, so for now I'm helping with the challenge blog.

On both Tags I have created an autumnal background using distress inks, then stamping over once the inks were dry.

I do hope you can come over and join us, the challenge runs for 2 weeks.

You can use any sized Tag and any medium, however your entry must be a Tag.

Unfortunately the Mr Linky tool isn't in situ at the moment because our fab boss lady Valerie is in hospital.

But you can still enter our challenge either by copying and pasting your blog post ( not the whole blog ) in comments, or link up via the details I have set out at Tag Tuesday.

There is still a week left in our challenge, hope you can join us...xx

Something Spooky....

 Happy Saturday Folks, looking like a lovely day from where I am sitting, so I am going to pop out for a few hours, but wanted to post my Tag before I do.

The theme this time around at Tag Tuesday was chosen by teamie Michele.

Something Spooky...I have done my best to be a little scary, lol.

For those that enter the challenge at Tag Tuesday will find a different way to link your entry, this is due to our very lovely Boss Lady Valerie being in hospital at the moment and unable to email out the Mr Linky to me.

If you can't navigate the link details I have posted there, just copy your blog post and paste it in comments, we will still find you.

Please play along, we are here at TAG TUESDAY

Using book pages again..

 Here as promised is my 2nd Tag that I created for Pinky's theme over at Tag Tuesday

I have used a book page for the backing and stamped over it with a long lost stamp, I found it among some backing papers I had in a box when I was sorting through my craft stuff recently. I have no idea how it got in there,lol.

I coloured in the boy and his fish...sorry it's not the best photo, I took about 6 and each one looked slightly blurry.

Hope you can join in with our challenge, still got time to enter, we are here at TAG TUESDAY

Book Paper Tag

 Over at Tag Tuesday teamie Pinky has chosen Book Print for her theme.

Personally I love using book pages, or newspapers for layering up backing on all sorts of projects, so I have made 2 Tags this time around.

The first of which I will post today. 

Here I have use a scrap of book paper over some vintage style backing paper, adding the character and playing cards from Alice in Wonderland.

Do pop over and join us if you can, there is still a week before the challenge ends.

Wendy chose Roses

 Over at Tag Tuesday, our very own Wendy has chosen Roses as her theme.

Now I should have posted my tag a few days ago, but this Little Lady arrived, my great grand daughter Nevaeh Sharron.

Here is my Tag for Wendy's theme....

I had some spare scraps of Roses backing paper that I used for this tag, then I added the extra labels and notelets etc. Finishing the tag with some paper roses and a bow.
