‘Dream’ Tag

Tag, you’re it have posted their Friday challenge and this week it’s incorporating the word ‘Dream’ or similar in your tags. I chose to alter one of DD’s round clothing tags. The back (originally the front), is really lovely, so I left that as it was and went to work on the back with gesso, [...]

Monochromatic…

Okay, all one colour for Tag, You’re It! I usually do something black and white for this sort of theme, but today I challenged myself to use shades of brown. Given my recent obsession with Halloween, I nearly used orange, but I have to draw the line somewhere!! Besides, I picked up the pic of [...]

I made a tag for this week’s Theme Thursday challenge (Paris) and the only ‘new’ thing I used was a slight touch of [...]

Theme Thursday – Spring!

The image is courtesy of Aileen – Aileen’s Musings in my sidebar, who makes beauuuutiful artlings – and I’m so pleased to have been able to finally use it. Stamps are from Crafty Individuals, flower a [...]
