Add some stencilling

 

Hi Everybody!

Thanks to Sandie who hosted the last challenge and to all who linked their beautiful creations to us. Today we are starting a new challenge and this time our lovely and talented Pinky is hosting. Here she is to tell you all about it:

'Hi everyone.

My chosen theme this time is

add some stencilling.

I have just recently got into stencilling and have

really enjoyed it

So my first tag is this one and I have gone with a

black base and stencilled directly onto it using some

embossing paste.

I used the stencil again to make smaller flowers

and finished with an embossed sentiment and gems.

For my second tag I used a layering stencil

onto white card. Then stamped a sentiment

and finished with a bow.

I hope you get time to join my theme this fortnight.'

Thanks for these wonderful and inspirational tags Pinky. As always, our challenges run for 2 weeks and tags of all formats are welcome. Whateever you do, have fun and stay safe!

Animals, Tame or Wild, no Insects.

 Hello Everyone, it's Sandie here and I am bringing you the theme for our challenge for the next 2 weeks.

I have chosen Animals, Tame or Wild, but not Insects.

I, like a lot of people, love animals, having had many as family pets over the years. I have often preferred animals to people.

I hope plenty of you will join in, as always any medium is acceptable, but it must be a tag.

Have fun everyone...x

Thanks for these great,  inspirational tags, Sandie!
And have a great week!

Blue and green

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge here and this time Valerie is hosting, that's me! Many thanks to Wendy for hosting the last challenge, and to all who joined in. Tags of all formats are welcome, and the challenge runs for 2 weeks. I would like you to use blue and or green on  your tags. You can use other colours, too, but blue and green should be predominant. My tag was made using an image from Gecko Galz. Sorry, but I'm not up to much just now as I am still in the clinic.

Have a great time, stay creative, and have fun!

 Sorry, this post is rather late due to various happenings - life is sometimes complicated! Today we are starting a new challenge here and Wendy is hosting with the theme of faces. Thanks to Michele for hosting the last challenge. Here's Wendy to tell you all about it:

 For a while now I have been drawing and painting faces, the three for this challenge are drawn with pencil, pastel and painted. You can use any medium you like or use commercial faces from magazines, as long as it has a face on, it's up to you. I look forward to seeing what you produce.

Thanks for this wonderful inspiration, Wendy!

!for my theme i've chosen flowers or plants. spring is coming in this hemisphere so i thought that would be a nice choice. however, you are not limited to flowers or plants -- let your imagination soar -- just make sure flowers or plants are on there somewhere! my first two tags feature some gorgeous buddha images from gecko galz.

for the next two tags i mostly used images from art tea life.

i hope you'll have some fun with this theme!'

Thanks for thes inspirational tags, Michele, I'm sure we'll all have fun - Hope to see lots of people joining us!

Bingo/numbers

Hi Everybody!

First of all I would like to thanks Sandie for hosting our last challenge,  and for her help with the blog admin. Today our lovely Pinky is hosting, and here she is to tell you all about her challenge:

 "Hi there everyone, it's Pinky here and my chosen theme is Bingo/numbers!

When Sandie mentioned my theme would start on 22/2/22 it just made me

think of BINGO! So I hope you come along and play with some numbers.

My original idea was to use a certain stamp set which I searched for for ages

and could not find so I had to made do with what I had.

For my first tag I went with the slang call outs

Bingo halls use. Not that I have ever been to a bingo hall,

sadly lol. But it always makes me smile what they come up with.

My second tag uses this fun bingo lady from Bugaboo.

She has been coloured up and I added the bingo players prayer

just for good measure!"

Thanks for these fab tags, Pinky, they are a great inspiration.
As always our challenges run for 2 weeks and tags of all formats are welcome. And just for fun I am scheduling the post to go live at 2:22 a.m.! Have fun, stay safe,

Valerie

King, Queen or Both.

 Hello Everyone, Welcome to our challenge that will run for the next 2 weeks.

I'm Sandie, one of the design team here at Tag Tuesday and it's my turn to host the challenge.

I have chosen the theme of King, Queen or Both because it's not a theme that you come across very often.

You are free to chose to use Real or Fantasy Royals, just enjoy yourself, let your imagination run free.

Any medium and size is acceptable, but it must be a Tag.

Have fun

Hugs

Sandie x

Use fabric on it!

  Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge and our lovely and talented Wendy is hosting. Her theme is 'use fabric on it'. This means you an use any theme, but your tag must have some fabric on it. Thanks to Michele who hosted our last challenge. Now over to Wendy to tell you all about her challenge:

' For my theme for the next two weeks, I would like you to Add some fabric to your tag' It can be any type or amount, as long as there is some on your tag it will be fine. Your background can be anything, card, fabric, cardboard, any substrate you like. All mine are on card, with the last one mounted on another tag covered fabric. You don't even have to sew it it on, glue is fine. Mine are all sewing based, but you can use any subject you like. I look forward to seeing your tags. Happy New Year to everyone.'

Thanks for these inspirational tags,Wendy. I look forward to seeing your tags. As always you have 2 weeks to join us.

Take care and have fun creating!

Anything Christmas

 Hi, it's Pinky here with my chosen theme of  'anything Christmas'.

I am sure, like me,  you still need a few tags to finish off the presents!!

So for my first tag I have gone with Santa. Perfect for my youngest Grandson.

I have used reds and blues for this one and I love the striped paper

behind him. Santa has been stamped, coloured and fussy cut.

For my second tag I had a bit of fun masking

and making a stencilled background.

I then just stamped my trees, stars and a sentiment.

Quick and easy!

I hope you get time to join my theme this fortnight.

Fabulous tags Pinkie, enjoy your time hosting, and thanks for the wonderful inspiration!

Window, doors and arches.

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our lovely and talented Wendy is hosting. Thanks to all who entered the last challenge, it was a pleasure to view your lovely creations. As always we welcome tags of all formats, and you have 2 weeks to join us! Now here is Wendy to tell you about her challenge:

 'For my theme this fortnight I have chosen Windows, doors and arches. You can choose from any one of these or more. Any media you like as long as at least one features on them. I have made three to give you some inspiration. The first one I coloured with ink and stamped some bricks. I stamped the door and coloured that with distress inks. I added some die cut ivy and some flowers from a magazine. The second one I drew and water-colored the stone archway and the gardener and cut out a garden scene from a magazine.  The third one the stone wall was cut out of wallpaper ( not one that was on the wall) and stuck on a coloured background. I stamped the door and the quote and added some small keys. I look forward to seeing what you do."

Thanks Wendy, for these beautiful tags, they are very inspirational.

I think we will all have fun playing with this theme.

Have a great week, have fun,

Valerie

Use Book Paper

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge and our lovely Sandie is hosting. Thanks to  all who joined in my recycling challenge last time round, I was delighted with your tags. But now over to Sandie:

 Time for another of our Tag Challenges and it's me Sandie bringing you the theme for the next 2 weeks.

I would love to see you use Book Pages, or sections of book pages on your Tags.

My first Tag I covered completely in a book page, then stamped and coloured on it and for my 2nd tag I just used torn strips to add as part of the background.

I hope my Tags will inspire you to join in with our challenge.

I shall pop along and leave some love on your blogs...

Have fun every one xx

Thanks for these fabulous and inspirational tags, Sandie. Now it's over to you.

Stay safe and have fun crafting!

Recycle and re-use

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge and this time the lovely Valerie is hosting - that's me! For my theme I have chosen recycle and re-use, as I know that crafters always hoard things that might come in useful again - old envelopes,  cardboard,  off-cuts of paper, pretty pictures, onion nets, string etc. etc!

So I'm asking you to use some of your hoarded treasures, and make a tag from them. Any theme or format is welcome, and as always, you have 2 weeks to link to us.

My tag was made from an old Amazon envelope. I die cut the tag and partly peeled it before rubbing some gold paint into it. I glued some black netting behind the TH lady, and gave her some gemstones on her hat. The ribbon was once tied round the neck of a delicious, chocolate Easter Bunny. I sewed round the edges with my machine:

Here I have also used card from some packaging, which was partly peeled. I went round the edges with bronze and then gold paint. The tag was cut from a magazine and glued onto re-used thin card. I punched in the eyelet to hold it all together and used some threads pulled from burlap to tie it up. The sentiment is from a TH set, the key is a found object. I like such grungy pieces:

 I'll be publishing new tags on my blog every couple of days.

Thanks to Wendy who hosted our last challenge, and to all who linked their lovely creations to us. Have a great week, stay safe, stay creative, and have fun!
