TIO #76 Something with a Pocket!!!

Cor talk about big reponsibility, this week I get to start the dream!!!! Well after all of this beautiful weather, and walking along the prom every day, it made me dream about being a little girl at the seaside.I always had pockets full of shells, seaglass, driftwood and anything else I could find! I was, and still am a real little beach comber, or kleptomaniac as my friends would say LOL!! My tag has been inked up in a mixture of tumbled glass and stormy sky distress inks. The seaside stamps are from Crafty Individuals and were again stamped out with stormy sky distress ink. I wasn't happy with the text, as it wasn't dark enough so I traced over with a fineliner pen. My little pocket is my new addiction, needle felting.............. love it! I used a blended Merino wool on an Merino Pre Felt, added a couple of bit's of Sari ribbon and some fish charms to finish. I hope my dream has inspired you, and can't wait to see what you dream up this week. Don't forget please use at least one real stamp. Love Elizabeth x

Wonderful tag - fancy you picking an underwater theme! Great pocket - you must tell me where you got your base felt from. Well done you!
