Tag - Dig out the old

It's TAG week for the Try it on Tuesday challenge and the theme is to use a stamp that you've had for ages but never used.  Now I know we've all  got them stashed away so why not dig them out and come and join us.

I dug out this cute little chappie who I think is called Smookie and I used my copics to colour in the image, then I added a touch sparkle using stickles.  I used a nestie to cut the tag itself and I coloured and embossed it by using a cuttlebug embossing folder which I coloured with Faded Jeans DI before running through the Grand Calibre.

My fellow teamies have as always created some great tags so please do pop over to the challenge blog to check them out.

Thank you so much for visiting today and for leaving your much appreciated comments.

Monochrome

Tuesday again and time for another Try it on Tuesday challenge.

This week it's a Monochrome card that we want.

Here is mine

I chose to go black and white but you could use shades of whatever colour you choose.

A less is more card from me this week. The backing paper is from the DCWV Glitter Stack and is beautiful.  Sadly the photo doesn't show off all the lovely glitter.  I thought this cat stamp lent itself to a minimal design so I just added a bit of shading using a light grey copic pen. 

As always the DT have created some fabulous examples following the theme. So if you'd like some inspiration why not pop over and check them out.

Thank you for visiting me today, I really do appreciate it. Please leave me a comment to let me know you've been and then I can come and visit you.

A lovely day with the Grandchildren.

Well it's been another lovely day weather wise here in the West Midlands today, so we decided to pay a visit to a local attraction. I have lived in this area all of my life and yet had never visited the lovely Bantock House and Gardens which is just outside the centre of Wolverhampton. We took our Grandchildren with us and Elliot enjoyed the playground with his Granddad while Jessica and myself went around the lovely old house.  We had lunch in the courtyard of the cafe in the lovely sunshine which was really good.  So if you are ever in the area Bantock House is certainly worth a visit. It's a shame it took me so long to find out.

Now I have a little card to share with you that I made for my BIL and his wife for their Wedding Anniversary which is today.

The image is a Penny Black coloured with Whisper pens.  The patterned paper is by Wild Rose and the sentiment was created in Word and cut out using a nestie die.

I am entering this into the
Carisma Cardz challenge - Anything Goes
Art Impressions stamps - Lots of Dots

Well that's about it from me tonight.
Thanks for stopping by
