I got home around lunchtime, had some chores (washing, shopping) to do but spent some time catching up on what you've all been doing whilst I've been gone.
Had some nice post (check back for that tomorrow!) and managed to fire off a tag for a couple of challenges.
First up, Tag Tuesday is to use black and orange. Haven't really got anything halloweeny, which was my first thought for the colours, so had to think again. The Compendium challenge - week 18 - half way already! is dabber resist from page 37.
Used the same stamp in black and another Tim one for the sentiment. I always this that this flourishy stamp looks like Cinderella's carriage when it's the right way up, or is that just me? It's upside down, here! The resist also shows up much better in the photo than on the tag (that may be the poor lighting in here!)
Anyhow, it's lovely to be home, will be back tomorrow for WOYWW, as I have another couple of days off work yet, (meant to be starting my Christmas cards!)

Love your tag, too. The colors are so rich, and the resist looks fabulous! I love that you used the same stamp wit black ink-- it really ties it all together nicely.
Welcome home! I'm glad you got to spend time with your mum--and that you're happily back to doing your gorgeous art!
Love your tag, because it is orange and black without halloween theme!
Mr Blogger seems to think my last post didn't work so at the risk of repeating myself .....
