Tags are a wonderful way to experiment with design and techniques.

I used paper from a bright selection of papers in my stash. The reindeer once existed on an old ATC, another practice piece. I added some Washi tape and a die cut. The small greetings stamps are from LOTV stamp set, old but great fun. I hope you have fun making your tag or card.

I have always liked the song Little Donkey, first sang by the Beverley Sisters, only if your elderly, you will have heard of them. Later it bcame a hit again sang by Nina and Frederick.

R is for Round

I die cut two white circle cards to create a circle (round card). I then die cut a piece of grey/white card for the background.

Favourite Colour Combo

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Johanna, on the design team, has chosen, #239 Your Favourite Colour Combo. To see the remainder of the team's creative inspiration, please visit the blog. 

I love making black and white or white and black cards, so my favourite colours are simply black and white, however I couldn't decide which to feature, so I made one of each. 

On the black card on the left, I heat embossed the Flying Stars stamp by Penny Black, with detailed white embossing powder, from Stampendous.  I did the same with the small butterfly stamp, a freebie with the Craft Stamper magaizine. I added white pearls and a sentiment stamp. 

On the white card on the right, I embossed the same stamps with Black Tinsel Wow! embossing powder. I added a ribbon with a bow and white pearls. Have fun with your favourite combo.

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz.  Sue J has chosen #361 Grateful/Thankful/Blessed. To see the inspiration created by the design team, please visit the blog. 

For my project I decided to use a C6 card i.e 6" x 4".

Using a dauber I rubbed on 3 Distress Inks. Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron and Evergreen Bough. The stamp is from a set of stamps called - Eastern Grasses - originally from Elusive Images which later became Chocolate Baroque. The Thank You sentiment stamps is an old, yet faithful foam stamp. Have fun, I look forward to seeing your masculine projects.
