Embellishments at AYLI

 Hello, hello. I hope everyone is keeping well.

I have a couple of tags to share today that are my DT inspiration for the new Challenge at 

As You Like It

where the theme is Favourite Embellishment and why.

I tend to grab gems or pearls to add a little finishing touch to my projects. They add sparkle or shimmer, depending on which you use, without the bulk.

I found a super cute dinky stamp set, (Country Companions) that has never seen ink, that I coloured with Promarkers. Cut tag shapes and mounted on gingham card (apologies for the shocking photography). The sentiments smudged a bit but I am sure Mollie and Jackson will be more interested in the package content rather than the tags!!

It's lovely to have your company again. Life is finally settling down, workwise, with Flu & Covid clinics now completed. Just the matter of the wedding invites to complete.

See you soon xx

Christmas at Allsorts

 Christine is hosting at ALLSORTS this time and has chosen the optional theme of

CHRISTMAS CARDS

which is ideal for this time of year and the perfect opportunity to add to your Christmas card pile.

In my effort to use my stash I decided to search through my dies and found a little used set, Christmas stacker tree by Dees Distinctively that I cut twice in pearl and glitter card then alternated the layers.

I inked the backgrounds and did some splattery snow (which didn't end up all over the walls!!) and raised the toppers on foam pads for a bit of definition. 

There are two prizes this time, so please do play along.

I hope that you have an enjoyable weekend. It looks like the weather is dry so we will probably collect the lasst of the acorns and possible do a bit of Christmas shopping.

See you soon xx
