I love this stamp set ! the flower is gorgeous and it also has several lovely sentiments too.  I made the background using some Mowed Lawn Distress Ink, White Embossing Paste and a Tim Holtz stencil. I love that the distress ink seeps into the paste without you having to pre colour it, you don't waste any paste this way :-)

I masked the flowers and used the strip of small sentiments and a Fog Ink Pad to make the background on the tag,


I decorated the inside and used a sentiment from the stamp set. Now who shall I send this one to  ,, hmmm :-)


OOh, I just made another one this morning using the same stamps and watercoloured with Gelatos


hopefully the best is yet to come after I have had a few watercolouring lessons from Amy.. haha  :-)

You Are Pawesome

Good Morning ? How are you all on this sunny Tuesday ? Hope all is
 xx

it's time for a new theme over on the Papertake Weekly Challenge 

 Sketchy Free For All 

I used this weeks sketch,, I love all the circle elements and thought it would work perfectly with my new You Are Pawesome stamp, stencil and die set that arrived yesterday !! :-) I couldn't resisit the new Simon Says Stamp This Is the Life release and bought most of them ! 


It is my friend's 70th Birthday next month and as she was in charge of the local SPCA until very recently, and a huge animal lover, I thought these stamps would be perfect :-)


As you may know I have a dog and 7 cats so I used a Paper Smooches dog, which looks just like my Jessie and a few kitten die cuts for the inside. I was going to add 7 kitties but it looked a bit much ,, haha 


We are sponsored by the lovely peeps at Simon Says Stamp so a fabulous spending spree is on offer :-)


You can choose to use this sketch or you can choose from any of our previous ones. 


Thanks for looking :-)
