grungy monday 11


Hi world
Gosh don't the Monday's come around quickly (must be my age).
Anyway, lots of lovely Tim Holtz http://www.timholtz.com/   stuff going on over at  http://studiol3.blogspot.com/   again this week, take a look here at this weeks Tim technique, to see what it's all about. I have also entered this tag on Simon Says Stamp and Show Simon Says this is a similar challenge to grungy monday

I have a set of gift tags to make for my swap group so, as time is limited at the moment I decided to make them for this weeks challenge (only got one done though as I had my new baby grandaughter visiting .... have I mentioned her before? LOL)

I think the fairy image is from Dove craft. It doesn't really show up very well though.
I used lavender under the embossing powder and then victorian velvet, dusty concord and aged mahogany on top.



I stamped various swirls around the edge with mahogany . .  . . . my new favouite colour!!
I stamped the quote with perfect medium and shiny black embossing powder... to make it show up a bit more than just flat stamping.
The tag is finished with a few Papermania gems and a selection of  inked up paper flowers.




As the tag is intented to be used for a gift I tidied up the back and stamped  to and from on to it.
 The fairy shows up much better here.

Here is why I only managed 1 tag all day.



 Cute huh!
I'm off to peep at yours

  8. WOW, this is gorgeous, Janet! Beautiful colors and such a sweet, happy design. You used the GM11 technique to artfully, and even the back is beautiful.
