Louise's challenge this week is to use Postage on the Tag. I really wanted to play since I made a tag last week and didn't share it as it didn't work out the way I had planned.
I actually used some postage from a package that
Deborah sent me from Canada. I had some lovely stamps from Indonesia that I was going to use but these worked with the colors better. The bell and Forever are from a package of stamps we purchased. They include a large sticker that emulates the stamp and I cut it up and used the images.
The train image is from some Graphics 45 paper that I purchased with tags. I loved the colors and decided to create a coordinating tag. I started with an ivory tag and added red, orange and brown distressing to emulate the Graphics 45 paper. The map is a Hero Arts stamp which I love and don't get to use often enough.
I also wanted to share a card I made for the
Card Patterns Sketch and for the
Cards Blog challenge this week. I unfortunately missed the deadline for the Card Patterns challenge. :(
This is for my youngest DD birthday. She has a July birthday and thinks any red, white and blue card for the 4th of July is for her. So I like to make her a card with the 4th of July mixed in.
Sorry I haven't been around to visit. I have been having issues with my wrists due to too much typing for work, so I have been taking a little of a break from commenting. I will try to get around soon!
Thanks for stopping by...
