My first tag was painted and stenciled,  and the leaves were stamped. The other embellishments were added in my digital programme:

This tag were painted. The leaves were hand cut from a sheet of  gold painted and embossed paper:

For the last tag I used a face from Geckogalz. Parts of it were stenciled and collaged. I added crackle glaze over the bottom half of the tag:

Animals

Hi Everybody!

We are starting a new challenge, and this time our lovely Pinky is hosting with the theme animals. Here she is to tell you all about it!

Hi it's Pinky here and my chosen theme is animals,

any sort or shape!!

For my tags I have gone with chickens!

For my first tag I made a mixed media background

with lots of stamping, stencilling and embossing paste.

I stamped and cut out the chicken, coloured him up

and added it to my tag. I finished with a fun sentiment and ribbon.

My next tag is another chuck.

Again I created the background by stamping, stencilling

and ink blending. I stamped the fence and coloured and cut it.

Added my chicken and a sentiment and finished

with a bow. I am a bit in love with this stamp set!!

Gorgeous tags, Pinky, so happy you are hosting, and I love your theme!

As always our challenges run for 2 weeks, and tags of all formats are very welcome.  We are looking forward to seeing what you make!

And whatever you do - have fun!

 Hi Everybody!

Thanks to all who joined in last week's challenge. This time our dear Sandie is hosting, she has a lovely theme and alwas makes great tags, so hope you will be inspired by her!

Hi, it's Sandie here and it's my turn to chose the theme for the next 2 weeks.

I have chosen Sewing, so basically anything to do with it, as in dressmaking, cotton, fabric, buttons, design patterns for clothing, lots of inspiration there.

Here are my Tags, 

This Tag is one of Tim Holtz's large tags that I folded in to a pocket.

Then I stamped up the outside before adding all the elements inside, which are also stamped.

I do hope you can join in and create a tag, any size, any medium, but it must be a Tag.xx

Your tags are FABULOUS Sandie, thanks so much!

Now it's YOUR turn, so we are looking forward to seeing your Tags.

Books

 Hi Everybody!

Hope your week got off to a good start. Today we are starting a new challenge and this time dear Valerie - that's me - has chosen the theme. You can do anything to do  with books - use some book-paper, make a tag about book characters, make a tag which would double as a book-mark - there are lots of possibilities.

Before I show you what I have made I wanted to thank Michele for her lovely challenge of mermaids, and of course, all who entered that chalenge with wonderful tags. And many thanks to Sandie, too, who coordinates the themes, dates, posts etc and has often written the posts while I was ill,

As always you have 2 weeks to enter, and all tags, big or small, real or digital are very welcome. I look forward to seeing what you create. 

I have made several grungy tags for this challenge - I just felt like it, and some are more grungy than others! I  know some don't like grunge, but I do!

Have fun, be creative, and I hope to see your lovely tags here!

Valerie

Here are 2 examples - I will be posting more tags during the next 2 weeks:

This is very grungy, and made with a spare piece of cardboard which happened to take my fancy:

Mermaids, Merpeople

Hi Everybody!

This time round Michele is hosting. Thanks to all who joined in Pinky's lovely challenge.

Here's Michel to tell you all about it:

I'm excited to be hosting our latest challenge. As we welcome summer in my part of the world, it is fun to go to the water and imagine what is living beneath the waves, so my theme is Mermaids, but for sure it includes all the Merpeople! 

Here are some sample tags to get this started.

Images are from dream cafe art and gecko galz.

Please join the challenge and let your imagination of undersea creatures come out to play.

Thanks for these wonderful tags and inspiration, Michele!

You have 2 weeks to join us, and we enjoy visiting your blogs and seeing your creations. And above all,

Have fun!

Hot colours!

Hello Everyone, hope you are all well. Thank you to all of you that entered our last challenge, your tags were awesome.

This time around it's teamie Pinky's time to host and her theme is Hot Colours.( Red,Orange and Yellow )

 Here she is to tell you about it...

 Hi there, it's Pinky here.

This week I thought I would challenge you to use

HOT COLOURS for your tags.

For my first tag I inked up the background in hot

colours then stamped the flower in black over

the top. I did spray with water and lift some colour first.

It was matted onto black and finished with a ribbon.

For my second tag I used my inks to get a water colour effect.

I simply used a wet brush with watered ink from my pad

and created the yellow and washed out red stripes.

I stamped the flower in matching colours, along with the leaves,

cut them all out and layered onto my tag.

I finished with a little sentiment and a punched bow.

We hope you will join us over the next 2 weeks...Enjoy..xx

 Hello Everyone, hope you are all well and ready for our next challenge.

It was lovely to see so many Tags for Valerie's theme, all special in their own way, so a huge Thank you to you all.

Also Thank You to our lovely boss lady Valerie and our Design Team, that support each theme without fail each fortnight, such a lovely bunch of ladies.

Anything Goes!

Hello Everyone, Thank you to everyone that played along with Wendy's theme in our last challenge.

We certainly had a wonderful selection of Tags.

Now for our next challenge and this time it's teamie Pinky's theme, here she is to tell you about it.

Hi, it's Pinky here and this fortnight I have decided to go with Anything Goes.

I love to just pick up some leftover papers from my workspace, choose a

stamp set and have fun!

My first tag was very quick and simple.

A bit of background inking in green and blue and then

just stamping over the top.

My second tag got a little bit of vellum added

to soften the look. I stamped the flowers and coloured them.

I stamped some leaves right around my tag edge and water coloured the background

to continue the blue. The vellum was then torn and added.

I finished with some matching twine.

We hope to see plenty of you playing along, most of all have fun.

Spring Colours, Yellow/Green

Hello Everyone, wow, we had some fabulous Tags for Sandie's theme, such a great selection of themes.

Thanks to everyone that played along.

This time around we have Teamie Wendy's chosen theme.

She has made a gorgeous selection of Tags for your inspiration.

Here she is to tell you all about it...

For my theme this fortnight I have chosen Spring colours Yellow/Green. Just recently I have seen a lot of bumble bees in my garden, so have chosen bee tags to help inspire you. You can use any medium you like to work in and as long as your tags have yellow and or green on them you are set to go. I look forward to seeing your tags.

Have Fun.

Your Favourite Theme...

 Hello Everyone, many thanks to everyone that joined in with our last challenge.

Valerie's theme saw many entries and all the Tags were awesome.

Today we start another challenge and it's my ( Sandie ) turn to host.

My theme is "Your Favourite Theme".....all very well and good, but if you are like me you will probably have more than one favourite.

However I tend to lean towards the Vintage style, so I have made a selection of 3 Vintage style stamps.

Hopefully they will inspire you to join in. I shall look forward to seeing your favourite themes and visiting your blogs to leave some love.

Have fun

Birds

   Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday and this time I am hosting with the theme of birds. Anything to do with birds is welcome, as long as it is a tag. Thanks to Michele whose fairies delighted us all last week, and to Sandie, who has done so much to keep the blog running these past few months.

I have a set of 2 very simple tags, made from 2 halves of a quick water colour painting:

Hope to see your tags with birds. Tags of all formats are welcome, digital tags, too, and you have 2 weeks to link to us. Whatever you do, have fun!
