Tag You’re It Challenge #10

It’s time for another Tag You’re It! Challenge. We had an amazing 44 entries last challenge. You guys rock!

This week we have a very sweet card made by Lynn Put. I just love that gorgeous cluster of pretty flowers!

TYIC_10

I fell in love with the softness of her colour scheme and I used her layout, just changed the placement of the sentiment. I switched up the flowers for a butterfly and some vellum leaves. The pink chevrons are embossing paste (coloured with some dye ink).

A shadow box for Felix

Hi there,
I have a different kind of project to share with you today. One of my friends recently had a baby and I wanted to make her and her little man Felix, a little something special to go in the nursery. Mama Elephant’s ‘Up and Away’ set came to the rescue again. I cannot get enough of this cute set!

For Felix | Marion Vagg

I sponged the clouds by making my own template and using several distress ink colours. The name is made from a really old set of rub-ons that I have had in my stash for at least 10 years. The whole scene was placed in a shadow box that I bought from Ikea (gotta love that shop). I decided to include Mr Squeaky Mouse in the photo, much to the delight of my daughter 🙂

For Felix detail | Maron Vagg

Stamps: Mama Elephant Up and Away Stamp set

Card: X-Press It Blending card

Ink: Memento – Tuxedo Black ink, Distress Ink – Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean

Other Supplies: Copic Markers (I don’t seem to take note of the colours sorry!), Foam dimensionals, Tombow Mono-Multi liquid adhesive, Making Memories rub-ons – Destination small black

I had so much fun making this, that I think I just may have to make some more!

Just for you – Jane’s Doodles

Jane's Doodle Banner

Hello. I have a new card up on the Jane’s Doodles blog today and also this one from a few weeks ago that I haven’t posted on my blog until now.
The first one uses the Doodle Flowers stamp set. It’s a bit hard to tell, but the inner wings have a lovely shimmer from the Wink of Stella glitter brush pen.

You are the best part of my day @ Muse

This year is certainly flying by! And another month has rolled around and it is my turn again at the Muse Card Club.

It was my husband’s birthday a couple of weeks ago and this was the card I made for him. I find masculine cards difficult, but I think the colour scheme and some inlaid die-cutting did the job. Not too many layers, but still lots of interest.

Copic Class Cards

COPIC_participant

I thought I would share some more cards which I created a couple of weeks ago now, right at the beginning of the Online Card Class – Copics Markers for Card Makers. I get a bit slack with photographing and then posting on my blog. I’ve really been enjoying the stamp set Up and Away by Mama Elephant. This has been a great set to keep on practising those Copic skills. I like these images as they are not too big as I get a little overwhelmed when I have to colour in large images with Copics.

The first one is my favourite. I like the shading on the bunny and those balloons were fun.

Birthday Bunny | Marion Vagg

I tried blending into white on the bear’s face and tummy using the colourless blender.

Each of the animals are popped up on foam dimensionals to add some interest.
