The Sky's the limit!

We have a very miserable start to the day here in the West Midlands, dull and rainy. Never mind that means it's a perfect day for crafting yeh!

It's time for another challenge with Try it on Tuesday and this week it's entirely up to you what you create using the theme the Sky's the limit.  I think a few of us on the DT struggled a little with this one but I'm sure our trusty followers will come up with the goods!

I've used the only stamp I could think of in my collection that would fit the bill.  Mind you if I looked long enough there's probably others (should really index and organise them, as if that's ever gonna happen!).

I'm sorry about the poor quality of the photo it was so difficult to get a decent picture of the embossing. I used Sheena's Wow Platinum sparkle embossing powder which looks silver in some light and more grey in another, hence the dodgy looking embossing. In reality it looks super. I'll try and get a better shot later if it brightens up. Anyway the stamp is one I saw Jayne Nestorenko demonstrating years ago on C&C and I love it. I think it's called  Moonshadow.

I brayered the background using the Big and Juicy Mountain Meadow pad then stamped the image using Perfect Medium and embossed.  I removed some of the colour in the moon and face by adding water and dabbing with tissue. I tore the bottom edge and added some colour from the Big & Juicy pad and some stickles for stars. I used a clear corner stamp (Circa Stamps) which I embossed and another Circa stamp for the sentiment.

Now if you'd like more inspiration why not check out the Try it on Tuesday challenge blog to see the DT creations.

Thank you so much for stopping by, hope you have a good day.

Try it on Tuesday challenge and Blog Hop

Well today at Try it on Tuesday we not only have a challenge for you, which this week is to make a tag with the theme of Hearts and Flowers, but we also have a Blog Hop which is sponsored by Lovin Ink.

Here is my tag for the challenge

I used a mask and distress inks to create the backing paper which I matted onto some green centura pearl card.  I stamped the hearts with perfect medium and embossed with cosmic shimmer embossing powder.
Et Voila!

Now let's get hopping and have some fun .

Feel the lurve!

Our theme for the Try it on Tuesday challenge this week is Love because Valentines day is not too far away and romance is in the air.

I was lucky enough to win a couple of Penny Black stamps from Brenda last week so decided to use one of them for my card. I'm sure you'll agree it such a cute little image. The image is Love in  the Spring.

I've used Dusty Concord DI around the edges of the nestie labels and the backing paper. I used a mask with Dusty Concord and Fired Brick DI  sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist to create the floral paper. The ribbon and rub on sentiment is from my stash.
I'm so please to tell you that we have a new sponsor for the challenge, One Stop Card Crafts .
