Tuesday Taggers - Out of your comfort zone

Hi there bloggers.  Well it's time for another challenge from Tuesday Taggers and this week the theme has been set by our fantastic teamie Sally and she wants you to create out of your comfort zone.  So now's your chance to try something new or perhaps just try a different style, the possibilities are endless.  Maybe you've always fancied trying quilling,  parchment craft or perhaps decoupage is new for you. If your style is cute perhaps you might like a bit of distressing or maybe you might like to have a go at scapbooking or journalling.  Just a few suggestions, I'm sure you'll think of something you'd like to try out.
Well after seeing her had the NEC and on C&C I invested in Barbara Grays, DVD's and a few stamps.  So I decided it was time to give creating reflections using a brayer a go.  Here is my very first attempt.  I know there is room for improvement and I'm definately not in Barbara's league but it's not bad for a first time or is it?  Please let me know what you think.

Looking forward to checking out your creations and have fun.
Love,
Pat xx

Great colours

Hi there hope you all had a good weekend.  I haven't taken part in many challenges, well hardly any, lately as I've been kept busy.  Anyway I always enjoy taking part in the Colour Create challenge when I can so here is the creation I have made for the latest which is to use KHAKI, AQUA, BROWN AND CREAM and I love this colour combo.

I have used a couple of basic grey papers, an odd piece of bazill bling edged with MS punch and the image is a Sarah Kay from Stampavie coloured with distress inks and layered. The ribbon is from my stash.

The Colour Create DT as usual have come up with  some fantastic designs which are sure to give you inspiration so why not pop over and check them out. There is a great set of rubber stamps up for grabs too and they also have a DT call.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really do appreciate it and if you'd like to leave me a comment that would be great.

Love,

Pat xx

What a load of rubbish!

Tuesday Taggers Challenge

Recyling

Hi there, hope you all had a good Bank Holiday, pity the weather wasn't better. 

Well this week at Tuesday Taggers our fab teamie Ildiko set the theme of Recycling. So get out all the stuff you've stashed away just knowing it is going to come in useful one day.  That day is here!!

Please pop over to the Taggers blog to check out the fabulous creations that my fellow teamies have come up with.

Well here is mine.

Well I was just about to throw out this faulty DVD (I was supposed to record Lost for my son and it didn't work- sorry Jonathan!) when I thought I can use that for this weeks challenge.  So I decided on the oh so popular easel card.  I cut the flowers out of newspaper using my nestie Big Scalloped Circles  LG and then coloured each layer using distress inks Fired Brick and Mustard Seed. I cut the centre layer from silver mirri and coloured with copics  then added a button from my button box. The sentiment was also cut from the newspaper (Wolverhampton Express & Star) and layered onto a bit of silver paper from a margarine tub and a piece of card from an old tag.  The base of the card is coloured with the DI too.

Well there you have it, now lets see what you can find lying around. Can't wait to check them out.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Love Pat xx
