I heart TAGS

Well, after tweeting first thing this morning that I was going to play all day - I didn't start till late afternoon!

The paper took longer to read than I intended, then I  - er - had a little snooze (to make up for waking on a beep beep Saturday at 5.30 am (same time as work days...) Anyways, I played with some tags.

Tried one technique that didn't work so you ain't seeing that! The I used the other side of the tag to play with the muted colourwash version Lin showed us at Stevenage (see earlier post) and sailboat blue and lettuce sprays. Love this combination - will use them again.
Stamps are by Wendy V and Tim. Some heirloom gold perfect pearl spray for some shimmer and this is what you get:

 it's very wibbly-wobbly as there is so much spray/water and re-drying from the other failed side so it's not flat....

But this is why I named the post as I did. inks are pumice stone and bundled sage. Various "art" stamps  - two from Wendy and two don't have the manufacturers name on. I picked them up cheap somewhere...
Sorry about the flash!

A quick sneak peak now -

I made some birthday cards yesterday but can't show you fully till I know they've arrived as the recipients read my blog....  you know who you are!

And finally, I had this circle chip out the other day and was just messing with colourwash (again!) but didn't know what to add to it. In the end, I used some leftover bits of the gold flakes on metal from earlier again, and a new stamp (which I bought before Christmas... its from memory box and I got it at the Stamp Attic - I think it's lovely and it stamps really well)     I sent it to a lady in my Wendy Vecchi yahoo group with an ATC from a swap -  I hope it's arrived so I can show you.

Ok, got to see if the duvet cover is dry enough to put back (no, I don't only have one, but it's my favourite...)
