Today I am sharing a tag I have made using some Penny Black products from the Bring on the Happy release. This tag has some great texture as I used the Penny Black Hypnotic stencil with some embossing paste (that I coloured with Peacock Feather’s Distress Ink).

I also used the Penny Black Hello Creative word die (I trimmed the long trail off the end of the word). The little butterfly is from the Penny Black Flight of Fancy butterfly die set.

Penny Black products used:
– Hello Creative Die 51-104
– Flights of Fancy Creative Die 51-132
– Tagged Creative Die 51-007
– Hypnotic Stencil 25-015

Another month has rolled around and it is my turn to be the Muse at the Muse Card Club. I have had this die from Memory Box in my craft stash for well over a year and a half….and it has NEVER made it onto a card until now! Better late than never.

I sponged distress ink onto the small focal panel and to create the stars I spritzed the panel with some water from a mister bottle before dabbing it away with a dry cloth. It created just the right amount of stars for my scene.

Hope that you will be able to find some time this week to join in on the fun.

Wow what a HUGE response we had at Muse Card Club last week for our 1ooth Challenge. So to kick off the 101st challenge, I have a very clean and simple card for you.

This card is a mini card (approximately 3.5 x 4.5 inches). It was actually one card of a set of 6 cards which I made for my daughter’s preschool teacher. I couldn’t help making them in a rainbow of bright colours.

Hope that you will be able to find some time this week to join in on the fun.

This week the Tag You’re It! Challenge team are playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas tags.

Maureen Merritt is the the designer this week for the TYI Challenge #11. I love everything about her card, especially the chevron backdrop.

It is pretty obvious where my inspiration came from. I have never made a double tag before, but I quite like it and it certainly adds more interest to the tag. And I just had to get those chevrons in there somehow 🙂

For more details on the TYI challenge and the guidelines, go here.

Tracey is also giving away some awesome prizes from Reverse Confetti, Clearly Besotted, CAS-ual Fridays, Neat and Tangled and Paper Smooches. If you would like a chance to win, you can leave a comment HERE on my blog post (please comment by Thursday, November 27th at 11:59pm EST). You can also go over to Tracey’s blog and leave a comment there to win as well.

Hope you can find some time to play along. To link up your creations head to the Tag You’re It! Challenge blog.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks to Tracey for letting me join in on her 25 Days of Christmas Tag fun.

Doodle Flowers II

Read All About It

Wise Owl

First up I created a colourful cluster of flowers, that were coloured with Copics and then given a coating of Wink of Stella brush glitter pen.

Next I made a fun bookmark for my son, once again colouring with Copics. The apple is coated in Glossy Accents.

And finally I water coloured the Wise Owl with Distress ink and made a tag. On the back it says “This book belongs to…” I couldn’t resist the googly eyes.
