A Little Birdie - A Colourful Tag

Hi everyone,

It's Donna here today creating a colourful tag for you...I must be wishing for Spring already I think!






I used a size 8 manila tag and swooshed it through some Distress Oxides that I had already diluted on my craft mat with a spritz of water. I stuck to the pink, green and orange palette for this to create a muted background.

I then used a feather stamp from the Textured Feathers set, stamping with a blue Distress Oxide as I just wanted some subtle stamping in the background. I then added further stamping in black with a mixture of stamps from Weed Love and A Little Birdie .

I then used a sheet of Strathmore Mixed Media paper to stamp some more images from A Little Birdie and some flowers from the Textured Flowers set. I coloured these in with my Zig Clean Colour pens, then fussy cut them out to adhere to the tag.

I then added the sentiment from A Little Birdie as a fishing touch.

I hope you like my tag which I think may just well bring Spring that little bit closer.....hopefully!

Donna xx


Supplies Used:

A Little Bird

Textured Feathers

It's a beautiful tag that certainly gives me a swarm, spring feeling! Love the vibrant colours, and I have to say that I'm impressed by how you combined stamps from different sets, such as the Textured Flowers popping up out of the Weed Love background, and the bird sitting on the branch from Mama Owl. Clever! (I need to work more on combining). Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous tag, Donna! ♥ ♥ ♥

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between...

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop: ...
