This week on Tag Tuesday, it's Black and white. Not a combination I work in very often, but I enjoyed doing these. I used a black tag and a white one. On the black, I stamped and embossed the leaves and word, and stamped and embossed the fungi on white card. The white one was stamped with the script, and then put through an embossing folder. I ran a lightly inked foam over the top. The poppies are cut out of black card.

Every Inchie Monday - Rope
This week it was rope on Every Inchie Monday, and apart from just sticking a piece of rope on a card, I was a bit stumped. So I made a minute rope ladder only fit for an ant to climb up. I think the ant could probably climb the tree without the rope ladder, but I do like to be helpful.

TIOT -- White on white
On Try It On Tuesday, the theme is white on white. I have made a couple of fabric postcard for this challenge, as I think it works well in fabric. It is a mixture of yarns, fabric flowers, beads, and stitching.

Every Inchie Monday -- Old
I was spoilt for choice today on Every Inchie Monday. The theme is 'Old', which gives us many different ideas to work from, I wonder how many different ones the others come up with.
I decided to go for ancient Egypt, and coloured the background with distress ink, stamped the pyramids, and then stamped some shrink plastic with a stone fragment with Hieroglyphics on.

Anything but a card -- Fall into fall
On Anything but a card it's an Autumn theme. I have made an Autumn leaf fabric postcard. The base is pelmet vilene painted in orange, then orange organza and fabric leaves on top, that I machined on top of. I then used the heat gun to melt some of the organza. I added some beads to the ends of the leaves.
Tag Tuesday -- All stitched up
On Tag Tuesday, it's another opportunity to make another fabric tag. This time I made a pocket at the bottom, and tucked in two smaller tags. The smaller ones have samples of some of the stitches on my sewing machine. I added an Autumn fabric ATC at the top, and stitched on two leaves at the bottom.

Every Inchie Monday -- Mouth
This weeks subject on Every Inchie Monday gave me a few problems, as I didn't want to draw a human mouth. So I went for a watercolour of a mouth of a river, and a mouth of a frog. Two completely different ones. Struggled with the river, as I just couldn't get it right, and the frog just looks plain miserable. Mind you, I don't know if I have ever seem a very happy one either, especially if one of the cats has brought one in, and it's hiding under the Welsh dresser.
