Tag It



Tags are the theme of this week at  Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges and I have made my tag with one of our sponsor's image, Christmas Candle by Stitchy Bear


My background for the tag is made with a collage of Hampton Art rubber stamps, coloured with Distress Inks. I used distress inks and Copics to colour the candle and then added some pearl Ex for some shine. I added a ribbon and Peace die cut to complete the care.  Thank you for stopping by and have a very creative day.  

Bag full of Love

Key to Life - Hope


I just purchased this Element Rubber stamp by Lazar Studio Werx and decided to use the stamp to make a collage card for an upcoming card swap I am participating in.  The stamp was on sale because unfortunately the company has gone out of business.  

I used a piece of Gelli paper that I had created earlier that had a lot of colours on it and it looked like peeled paint for my card base. I stamped a music stamp over the background to give ore interest. I layered a piece of coordinating scrapbook paper on it along with a piece of lace and doily I tea dyed.  I coloured the image with Copic markers and distressed the edges with walnut Distress ink.  To complete the card I added a metal piece saying hope along with some brads and a key from my stash.  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a creative day. Remember my favourite saying  by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” I hope you join me in my search for my creative side.
