Well, I wasn't out with the camera last weekend (too busy crafting), so no more inside my drawers this week, sorry! I had so many lovely comments last week, I hope you'll forgive me not having any more revelations this week (I am working on trying to sort the software for the digital camera so I can transfer the photos to the computer. At the moment I can take the pics but not upload them to the computer, so bear with me!!)
I made this tag (which I realise is sort of green-y which means I can claim is meant for St Patrick's Day today for all those of an Irish persuasion!)
I used tumbled glass and shabby shutters distress inks on the tag, sprayed a couple of perfect pearl/DI reinker combo's to tone with the tag inks, stamped a French script stamp in black, and "the crimson fan" stamp by Acey Deucy, which I haven't used for ages (where have I heard that before recently?) and added a grungeboard butterfly which I inked and sprayed and sanded, and some green wire mesh instead of a ribbon.
I am scheduling this post to appear around 10 am and if I can sneak onto Julia's blog while no-one is working I will link it as soon as her post comes up. It's such a PAIN having to work.... though if I didn't, I would have no money to indulge this passion!
Edit - schedule didn;t work - I didn't do it right when I finished typing the post this morning so at least I can link it now (lunchtime!)
Lovely tag. Hope you have a good day at work. :-)
