Check out this months challenge over at
More Mixed Media
Their challenge is always Anything Goes and if you want to you can also use their colour option and this month the colour is Brown
My project this month as a member of the design team is a Steampunk style Tag...using brown ink.

I created the base of my tag using distress inks and a selection of stamps. I stamped the image of the man and heated embossed the image on some spare card..lightly coloured it then cut it out and added him to my tag.

I coloured some light weight card that I dry embossed with a cogs folder, coloured that with distress ink and tore off a strip and added it under the image. I also stamped and added a label.

To finish the tag I added the cogs and lens and then the chain with the clock.

Artist Trading Block & Drift Wood

Septembers Challenge has just started over at
  Rhedd's Creative Spirit
I was wondering how I could use up some driftwood and one of my many chunky wooden artist trading blocks for my design team project....and this is what I came up with....

I have prepared a picture tutorial that will be posted to Rhedd's Creative Spirit on 15th October, so I do hope you will drop by and take a look...

Painted Dress Form.

Pop on over to Altered Eclectics...they have just launched their challenge for September.
My design team project for them this month is an Altered Dress form.

The dress form was given to me by my best friend, she said I would know what to do with it..lol.
I gessoed the form then gave it 2 coats of Docrafts Pistachio acrylic paint.
Once dry I dressed it and then created some associated items to add to the base..
Hope to see you over at the challenge...it's HERE

Back to School Tag

I do like to enter the challenges over at 

Tag Tuesday whenever time allows.

This fortnight their them is "Back To School"....after a rummage in my stash the most I would come up with was a few school documents which I cut out from some backing papers.

The stamp of the little girl is one I picked up in a craft shop sale, I can't remember the maker, but the way she is dressed I thought she would make the perfect school girl...so I painted her in green and yellow so it looks like a school uniform...

The back to school was stamped using small alphabet stamps.

In my Garden

Guess what I have made...a card. Well I have this super Garden stamp that I just had to use for the challenge over at TIOT ( Try it on Tuesday )

Their theme this time around is In my Garden.

I made a topper for the card using this fab little stamp by Crafty Individuals...then added the silver word tab.

I just love the sentiment under the man's chair....

I matted and layered the base card and added some garden string and a silver watering card....

Then I added the topper to finish the card....

This card is for the challenge at TIOT ( Try it on Tuesday )

Tick Tock Clock Tag.

Hello..do you know that Go Tag Thursday have a challenge that has just started...it used to be a weekly challenge, but has now gone fortnightly...
The theme for this challenge is Clocks or Watches and here are my Tags....

            For my first Tag I have used an MDF one from
                                       Fernli Designs 

I gessoed the Tag and then dabbed it with alcohol inks, then stamped with a stamp by Paperartsy.

On some scrap  card that had already been coloured with Oxide inks, I stamped the set of wings by Visible Image..then cut them out and added them to my Tag.

I then added the watch and chain.

I covered this Tag in some backing paper from my stash and on some plain white card I stamped the image twice, which are all on the one stamp, Urban Stamp by Papermania.

I lightly coloured all the images and then cut them out. I added a torn strip of paper with clocks on and added that under the image of the boy before adding all the clocks.

To finish I cut the centres of the binoculars out and coloured the rims, then added them to the tag.
