Tag 5 and some background pages

I got going early today ~ something to do with having an 8am appointment at the hairdressers - so started on my tag at 9 o'clock.   I have linked this tag to the  Studio L3 Compendium of Curiosities and will hopefully try to link it to All Things Tim Yahoo group

Here are a couple of backgrounds I've started (around midnight last night) using the ghosting technique I described before.  I used the Dylusions inks and a Crafters Workshop stencil.

I did this one with Dylusions acrylic paints and a baby wipe.   The pattern underneath is where I had wiped a stencil I was using somewhere else.   Then I used the baby wipe again to stencil the orange birds.

And here's one I made earlier.   This was a page I started when I was doing a Dina Wakley online course.  I'm planning on writing on this one and collaging some words and pictures.

12 tags 3 & 4

Many of the people whose blogs I follow take part in WOYWW.   I haven't taken part in it before and probably won't again ~ mostly because it would always be a variation of this:

I missed making a tag yesterday as I went for what I was hoping was my last day of work. I'm pleased to say that I finished the accounts for January and they reconciled. Whoot! whoot! However there's still the Petty Cash to sort out and then get everything together for the Accountants so they can do the year end. So I will back there again next Tuesday ~ hopefully for only half a day.

Today I have made 3 tags!!!
 I don't make cards so I made a tag instead for my friend's birthday.

The other 2 tags are for Nicki's countdown challenge.   I worked on both of them at the same time and I used Distress Inks and some Paperartsy stamps.  I got them to this stage but didn't really like them.

 

I didn't want to get into the full 3D mode with lots of embellishments. So I put the tags through the Cuttlebug using a Tim Holtz texture fade. I did one the right way up and then tried the negative on the other one. Then I re-inked them and inked the edges.

 

12 tags ~ day 2

Here is my day 2 tag. I used a Paperartsy stamp (map) and a TH embossing folder (trees).
