Every Inchie Monday -- Towel

A nice easy one this week, and not one I could get anything different in my brain, so it's plain ol' towels for me.
I made a towel rail out of beads and head pins for the sewn one. and a pearl pen for the stampbord one.

The Craft Barn Dictionary Challenge -- L for Lacy

The Craft Barn Dictionary challenge this fortnight is L. I have chosen L for Lacy. The definition is "Lacelike in fineness or intricacy" I didn't use the word lace as some of it is made from lacy paper rather than real lace.
I used two of Tim's lacy dies for the bottom and main tag ( fragment die) I distress inked both tags and stuck them together.
I use an ornate oval die to frame the image of a lady in lacy attire. I then added lace at the top and some lace flowers to finish off.

Tag Tuesday -- Layer upon layer

The theme this week, layer upon layer gave me the opportunity to make another fabric tag for my vintage fabric tag book. I started off with a layer of calico, then a layer of printed script fabric and lace. I then added an image of a little girl, a layer of scrim. I finished off with another layer of lace and flowers.

Every Inchie Monday -- Earth

This was not easy this week. The earth on an inch, I think I might have dispensed with some of the countries in my two attempts, especially the sewn one.

Countryview crafts challenge -- Make your own background.


On Countryview crafts, their challenge is to make your own background. I have made another two pages for my large Dylusions journal. The background is made with spraying Dylusion inks and then again through stencils. I made two tags to go on top and then doodled over the background with a white pen.







I am entering this in the following challenges:

Tag Tuesday -- Shakespeare

For this tag I distress inked the tag and stamped some old script with brown ink. I added an image of Shakespeare, a quote, and an ink nib. I finished off with a rolled up script and a tiny book ( Not the complete works though)
