The Craft Barn Dictionary Challenge -- G

For this challenge I have chosen G for Gentleman. I distress inked the background and stamped a script background in dark brown. I stamped all the other images and adhered them to the tag. I added a chain and a pen nib to finish off.

Tag Tuesday -- Spring

The background is distress inked and the very bottom of the tag is embossed with a grass embossing folder. I embossed the nest heart with copper embossing powder, and placed it on a collection of die cut leaves. I stamped and cut out the tiny bird boxes.

Every Inchie Monday -- Peanuts

I wasn't sure what to do this week, but decided on drawing and sewing peanuts. In the book they are an essential, so I went with that, instead of the cartoon character.

Wanderlust abstract painting

This year I have joined Wanderlust, a year long internet art class. They have 24 teachers showing us different techniques and the last one was to let yourself go as far as the painting was concerned.
 You put a choice of acrylic paint on your palette and just splodge it on without any preconceived ideas of what you were doing. I chose the blue and green colours to start with and then added some red for contrast. I am quite pleased with the result. My OH has called it the underground. The canvas measures 24" x 18"

Tag Tuesday -- Eggs

Eggs is the word on Tag Tuesday, and I have made an egg full of eggs sitting in a nest. The background is distress inks and I made a nest out of torn dictionary pages. The large egg is a die cut, and the small ones stamped and embossed.

Every Inchie Monday -- Door

Two simple ones this week. The mountbord one has a shrink plastic door, and the sewn one fabric door on a stone fabric background. The door does open on the fabric one, and has a bead for the door knob.

Tag Tuesday -- Heroes/Heroines

The only picture I have that fitted the theme this week is a picture of Florence Nightingale, so she is my heroine. I framed her in a die cut on a distress inked background and added some grungeboard flourishes and a flower. Without the ability to use my printers at the moment I had very little choice. My daughter is coming here tomorrow to rescue me and get my Adobe photoshop working again.
