Dragons Dream TIO #140 Brown, Vellum and Hands

This time over at Dragons Dream TIO Silvia has chosen the theme of "Brown, Vellum and Hands" for our challenge.
I do hope I'm forgiven as I've used the hands of the clock, not physical hands lol, it's one of the new Marianne dies and can be used in two different sizes which is great. The base tag is My Minds Eye Kraftcard which inks like a dream, gorgeous stuff, then a layer of torn vellum which is hiding, a little swirly stamping and a vellum flower to finish off with.
Hop over to the challenge blog via the link on my sidebar to join in, just please remember to use at least one real stamp on your tag.
I'm looking forward to the craft show in Manchester this weekend, just looking of course, saving myself for Port Sunlight the week after lol.

TIO #139 Pink, Fabric and a Face

Well it's my turn over at Dragons Dream TIO Challenge blog, and as I'm in such a "Girlie" kind of mood at the moment I'd love to see Pink, Fabric and a Face on your tags.
Well I think you know by now that I like to start off with a white tag lol, and play, so out with the worn lipstick and black soot distress inks. The stamp is from Stamp Camp who come over to Port Sunlight every year, and have some amazing stamps.  I made the Lady a Facinater out of some Kanban Netting and dies from Cherry Lyn and Marianne. The smaller tag at the bottom is a previous TIO tag, copied, shrunk and printed off as an embelishment.
Hope to see you over at the TIO blog click the link on my sidebar to get there, just please remember to include at least one real stamp on your tag.
Sooooooo glad the blogger problems have been sorted out now, I just have some catching up to do!

Dragons Dream TIO #114 "The Secret Garden"

This week at Dragons Dream TIO Frankie has chosen the theme "The Secret Garden", one of my favorite childhood stories. My imagination has run away with this dream, with tropical birds and flowers, and gems for dewdrops on dancing blades of grass, and of course lots of ink! I hope you pop over and and check out what the rest of the team have been up to, and we also have some fab new members on there this week, so welcome on board  girls.  Elizabeth xxx

TIO #110 Birdsong

This week at Dragons Dream TIO Wanda has chosen the book "Birdsong" yet another one this bookworm hasn't read!!!! I got a little carried away with a new pack of Kanban cardstock that I received this week, so needed to play. The gorgeous apricot and greys have been muted with good old black soot distress inks to make them less pretty. I cannot believe that I bought this pack because the colours matched my living room lol, but gorgeous colours they are! The flowers were stamped with an Anna Griffin floral stamp, inked around the edges before they were rolled in to shape. The bird and the swirl were both die cut from Kanban card and inked. Something a little different from me this week. Please pop over and join in our fortnightly challenge via the link on my sidebar, and please remember to include at least one real stamp. Elizabeth x
