12 Tags of 2014 - March

Good afternoon Lovelies, what a beautiful day it's been today, shame I've had to stay in waiting for the courier to pick up my next secret load of samples ;)

So while I've been staying in I've made myself busy, but managed to find time to make my version of Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2014 for March, I'll be honest! As much as I love everything TH, this hasn't been a particular favourite! But I promised I'd do every month and so I'm keeping to my promise so far!

To find out out to do this technique just click where it's highlighted!

Thank you for visiting today xx Zoe xx

My Favourite Visible Image stamps!

Good evening Lovelies! Well after a beautiful sunny morning this evening has become very windy again!

Today I've been playing and I noticed the Visible Image challenge blog was "Favourite Stamp" I whipped em out and set about sifting through them! Hmmmmmm! Not easy choosing a favourite as they change all the time, so I decided to use my favourite sentiment and the tree, which I love amoungst others lol!

Zoe - 27th Challenge "Anything but a card"

Good morning Lovelies! Can you believe it's nearly March? Hopefully the evenings will be lighter for longer soon and I can get all my crafty stash back out into my summerhouse? I'm fed up with my dining table looking a mess lol!

So this fortnight our theme over at Rhedd and Rosie's is "Anything but a card" is being sponsored by our lovely Sandie.

 

I have made a Wallhanging out of an empty cardboard box, I've used various techniques, including texture paste, crackle paint on my flowers which are stamped, coloured and die cut, and stamping of course!

Sneaky peek no 3 "A Village Mystery"

Good morning Lovelies! It's promising to be a dry day! Fingers crossed!

Tomorrow, tomorrow! Is the day that Sheena Douglass is on Create and Craft launching her fabulous new A6 stamp plates, I'm so excited, so if you like, Miss Marple and the likes you will love these new stamps!

Here is another sneaky peek at what I had to play with!

Using the fab Kraft Card from Crafters Companion, I heat embossed in white EP this gorgeous Rose set, I coloured the flowers in with a white marker pen then went over with my Spectrum Noirs, the white just gives a base for a better colour and also gives some shading!

Thank you for visiting, please tune in tomorrow the show times are 9am, 1pm and 6pm on Create and Craft!

A few projects

Good evening Lovelies! Eww it's pouring down rain :( and there was me thinking it was starting to be a bit spring-like! Hahaha!

I'm just posting a few of my makes from the last few days!

I made this first card for a daily challenge in a group on Facebook I belong to the theme was "Trees"

The trees and little birds are dies.

Just playing here with masks and Sheena Douglass fab stamps.

A little plaque I made yesterday out of cardboard.

Mum wanted a 50th birthday card for a friend. Tim Holtz helped me out ;) lol

This is today's challenge make, the theme is "Moon"

I've also made this Collage today, I'm not sure what to do with it yet? I'm pretty pleased with it, not bad for first attempt? The flower is Wendy Vecchi "Clearly Art" modelling film which I covered with Tim Holtz Frosted Film, I then used tattered flower die and coloured with Archival inks and heated until pliable then moulded into shape, and leaves.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog, it makes my days reading your comments :) xx
