Tag Tuesday-Snowflakes

The theme for Tag Tuesday this week is Snowflakes
For my Snowflakes tag I had fun combining gelli printed
 pages. I used some wooden print blocks from
Colouricious and finished off with some snowflake
ribbons from my stash.

Tag Tuesday-Baubles and Bling



It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here!
Here's my Baubles and Bling tag for this week's Tag Tuesday
I made a background with glittery card, and added
gold braid and ribbons. I couldn't resist putting on
some sequins. Now I struggled to find a  satisfactory
 way to make the baubles. Then I remembered my
tiny set of baubles on display, and thought they
would be the right size, and they were!

Tag Tuesday-Night Sky

This week on Tag Tuesday the theme is Night Sky.
My Night Sky tag was inspired by a set of Christmas stamps.
The background was painted with Inktense blocks,
and I added water, because it is always fun watching
how the surface changes. Stars stamped with acrylic on
a black background were framed with washi tape stars,
the background sprinkled with more stars. Some fabric
with houses was also painted with Inktense pencils,

and then some larger silver stars cascaded down the 
corner.

Christmas Cards

I have been printing some Christmas cards,
using the wooden print blocks I bought from Colouricious.
I have had great fun stamping and printing. When the weather
is bad it is great to have a studio to make art in. Listening to 
the wind howling round my loft, I feel very in touch
with the elements. As a bonus, I emerge a couple of hours
later covered in glitter!
