Two Tags

I may moan about making cards, but I can't say the same about tags- I love making them so much! Maybe I should make some tag-like cards LOL! These are for two kind cyber-friends, who both sent me something and saved me from spending money unnecessarily- thanks, Sid and Sarah. I hope you enjoy the little packages I sent back!

Colour: Glimmer Mists, Distress Inks, Versafine, Cosmic Shimmer mica powders, clear and aurora ep, Ranger white pen
Stamps: Cherry Pie, Paperartsy, Rubadubbado, Elusive Images
Other: Manila luggage tags, old book page, acetate, eyelets staples, ribbon and fibres, all from my stash, Cuttlebug embossing folder.

The dragonfly is part of the stamp sheet I bought last weekend, after swearing I would not buy any stamps! But after spending half an hour with Paperartsy's Leandra Frainch, I couldn't resist any longer! Now I just need a melt pot... :D

Mission Collage: Number Four

As promised, this is the penultimate stage of Mission: Collage at The Land of Lost Luggage! Here are today's instructions:

1. Pattern: Use any medium you want and make a pattern on your collage- lines, dots, secret message in Morse Code...anything you want.

2. Draw: Fancy sketch or simple drawing; use pen, pencil or ink to highlight something that is already on your collage or draw a new shape on your project.

3. Sand: Go out to the garage and grab some sand paper! Use the paper to make a distress accent on your collage.

You can see I drew some mini-swirls around the edges for my pattern. Then I drew around the numbers, and added some scallops. The sanding doesn't really do a lot here. The base for the piece was black, so sanding doesn't bring out any highlights, but I did try!

It will be a couple of days until I can show the end product. Wednesday is my busiest day of the week, I do baby-related things all day. And to cap it all off, Paul is looking after Dan this evening, while I meet some friends for dinner! I'm really excited, and I know Daddy and Danny will have a great time without me.
Off out now, the busyness begins!
