Tag Along -- Use pink ( A little or a lot)

Pink is not my colour, but the challenge on Tag Along was to use pink. I sprayed the background with Dylusions pink, and then decided it was too pink. I then toned it down with gesso, using stencils.I then added my image, and all the bits of lace and flowers.

Tag Tuesday -- The 1950's

On Tag Tuesday the subject is the 1950's.
The 1950's remind me of my Dad having to buy me a radio, so it would send me to sleep, hopefully before he went to bed, so he could come and turn it off. Radio Luxembourg  and Radio Caroline were my bedtime music choices. I still don't sleep well. and now I just go into my workroom and craft.
My tag consists of images from the 50's including Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Elvis, Cliff, and  TV classics. Does anyone remember Journey into space on the radio?
Those were the days, lots of happy memories.

Tag Along -- Wings

It's a while since I joined in with tag Along, but the theme of wings gave me the opportunity to make some bird tags. This one is a double sided one of owls, one of my favourite birds.
They are both inked and stamped, with the bird images collaged on.

Every Inchie Monday -- Legal

I have been away for a long weekend, so I'm late again. I must figure out how to schedule it in advance.
On Every Inchie Monday the word is legal. For the sewing one I have made a wig that they wear in court, with felt for the face, and wool for the wig.
The card one is an old manuscript with the official seal broken, and the edges torn.

Artful Times DT piece -- Clean and simple

I have made two cards for this challenge on Artful Times, one a birthday card, and the other a sympathy card. For both of them I have ripped some card as a backing for simple stamping. I love the poppy stamp, and it makes a very good sympathy card. The other stamp is a vintage faded piece of a postcard, again a very useful stamp.

Tag Tuesday -- White on white

I have been away on a course, and then had the three grandchildren here for the weekend. I am therefore very late getting this onto the site.
The challenge on Tag Tuesday was white on white. I used scraps of fabric and yarn, with a few die cuts out of pelmet vilene, which were added at the end. I just tried to get as much texture on as possible. A few beads and sequins add a bit of sparkle. The base of the tag is pelmet vilene, I really should get shares in the firm, as I use yards of it.


Every Inchie Monday -- Khaki

Not a colour I would normally use, but as khaki was the subject on Every Inchie Monday, so khaki it is.
For the sewing one, I made a pair of khaki trousers, and no I didn't put a zip in them. For the card one I drew a soldier in his khaki uniform.
