Ravens or Crows at SPA.

It's Sunday, time for another challenge over at Sunday Postcard Art.

This weeks theme was chosen by  Sabine

Unfortunately I don't have any Crow or Raven images, but do have a couple of Crow/Raven stamps from some Halloween sets, so I have used them.

The recipe / spell on the scroll reads...

Eye of newt and Toe of frog,

Wool of bat and Tongue of dog,

Adder's fork and Blind worm's sting

Lizard's legs and Howlet's wings...

Do pop over and join in with the challenge, you can use any medium but your postcard  must be 6"x 4"

Seasons Tag

 Good morning everyone, weather here is damp and for the last few days literally thousands of leaves have fallen from the huge trees here, so I could be out clearing my little garden later when it dries up from the overnight rain.

I am sharing my Seasons Tag that I have made for the challenge over at Tag Tuesday.

Valerie chose the theme, I had a great stamp for the Seasons, however, using watercolour card, it really didn't stamp that well.

There is still time to play along in this challenge, you can find it here at Tag Tuesday.

Trees at Sunday Postcard Art

 Hi Everyone, Sunday Postcard Art have a new theme, this time it is trees, chosen by Annie.

I have several tree stamps, but decided to go with this one as it is terribly under used,

Unfortunately the sentiment didn't stamp to well, mainly due to me using watercolour paper, which is textured. I am annoyed at myself as the tree stamp I used with my stamping platform, so I could repeat it several times, I should have done the same with the sentiment!

The postcard was cut from a piece that I had been experimenting on with my paints.

Thanks for dropping by..xx

Robot at SPA

 I've not played at Sunday Postcard Art for a while, so decided it was high time I got back there.

I am glad that I did as Aimeslee is hosting her Robot theme. Aimeslee is a crafter I have known from quite some time ago when we used to enter the same challenges at Artistic Outpost, which sadly stopped a few years ago, but often since then we have crossed paths through other challenges.

So Aimeslee, here is my Robot postcard....

Using up some spare card from another project I cut my postcard to the required size, 4"x 6" and stamped it up to make it a bit grungy, adding some doodles here and there.

The Owl Robot, the sentiment and background stamps are all by Lemon Creation.

Another Numbers Tag

 Just dropping in to share another Tag for the challenge over at Tag Tuesday

It was my turn to choose the theme and I chose Numbers ( more than one )

I die cut the tag from some spare card that I had left over from another project, mainly because I love the colour combo. I had been having a play with water colour paints.

The stamp I think ( sorry, its such an old stamp ) is by Artistic Outpost and the sentiment by Lemon Creation.

Numbers Tag

 It's my turn to host this fortnights challenge over at Tag Tuesday.

My theme is Numbers, can be any amount, but a minimum of 3.

Here is my first tag, the handsome Steampunk Man is from a set of digi images from Lemon Creation

Most of the background images are from Lemon Creation Stamps.

For my 2nd tag I have coloured using distress ink and the stamp is an oldie from Crafty Individuals

Please pop over and join in with our challenge, would love to see you and our team will drop by your blogs and leave some love.

We are here at Tag Tuesday

School Days

 I love Michele's  theme over at Tag Tuesday, she has chosen School Days. It takes me back to when I was at school.

 I was a child who did enjoy going to school, although I wasn't a very quick learner and very often was told off for "not paying attention"

By the time I reached the age of 12yrs, I settled down and actually started to learn. Learning, back in the day, was so different than it is today, also the schools are more modern now. Teachers taught a variety of subjects and some things I still apply to my daily living now.

From the age of four and a half, my first day at school, my mother left me in reception, there was a smaller girl than myself who was crying so much, I went over to her and asked why she was crying, she said her mum has just left her here. I replied, so has my mum, but we can be friends and stay together. We are still very good friends almost 70 years later ( and yes, I am that old )

For my tag I stamped a grungy background and used images from a paper pad, at least I think they are, they've been in my craft room for a couple of years now. They were loose and given to me with other bits and bobs by a friend who has given up crafting. I used the school label, then cut the boys out and laid them over the labels.

The Seaside

 I have finally got my tag made for Pinky's Seaside theme over at Tag Tuesday. I have been lagging a bit with my makes, doesn't help when I've been decorating my bedroom, which took me ages as I didn't have much help. The only good thing was I was able to get rid of some clothes for our local charity shop. I thought if I've not worn it in the last year, there's no point putting things back for another year. I also realised I am becoming a hoarder,lol.

So here is my Tag, I have used several different makes of stamps for this one.

There's still time to play along, you can find us here...Tag Tuesday
