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! ♥ ♥ ♥

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Image
Klikk her for info pÃ¥ norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English
