Tag and ATC

Hi All. Nice to have you drop by and thank you for the lovely comments you leave.

Today it is already quite hot and we are off along the cliff top to the cricket gala. This is one of the biggest events we have in our area and there is a lot going on so it is a full day out. Not sure I will last too long in this heat and then the walk back as well will mean at least 10 miles altogether and more if I count the miles walking around at the gala--wish me luck :)

At Tag Along this week the theme is 'Steampunk' and I combined it with the challenge at A Vintage Journey 
where they ask you to 'Just Stain It'


I used an 8" tag as I wanted to be able to fit on my Chocolate Baroque, Punky Romance stamps.

I used an orange spray for the background and few dabs of the Aged Mahogany Distressed ink then I used the Distressed Stain to do a swirly stencil shape before I added some grunge paste at one side. This I dabbed with the pink stain. Then I stamped onto the tag and used the green stain to blob colour onto some of the stamped images. The steam punk flyer is from a freebie site. The ribbon is dyed with the two stains and scrunched up. Lots of Tim influence on the whole tag.

Next is Wicked Wednesday which have 'Cute as a button' this week


I just love these cute images that I bought from Pink Petticoat years ago. I made a digital background and coloured the lamb and flower with Promarkers

Have a great day everyone or sleep well if your visit id later in the day

Love Chrissie x

    I love your steampunk tag, Chrissie! The color palette you chose is just perfect for this theme, as is your "flyer" image! What is really creative here, however, is your use of flowers that, in this setting, appear as gears! Genius! Thanks for participating in the Tag Along challenge this week!

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
