It's Original ART.

 Time has just flown by the last few months and
It's already Febraury. I am so thankful that we
take our break in January as I have had very little play time
with hubby in hospital - however he comes home in a few days
so will see how my days pan out with him needing full time care.
I need to get my project below scheduled before then.


I worked on this as time allowed so have few photos of the progress
but some closeups only and will endeavour to explain
how my tags upon tags were created.
Here are the bits and bobs -
lots going on here with the inked background
stencilled with AALL&Create. In fact the stampings
are all from them. Die cut lots of tags from
different suppliers. I knew I wanted to play with them!


Looking at where I am going to place items.


and continue on with the main tag
with cut out stamping and a tiny bit of washi tape on the side.


the corner with stamping and background stencilling
with inked edges.


the left corner with & die cut, tag on top
and lace attached to background tag.


bottom detail with finished tags with twine
and left tag has floral washi tape.



close up view of the bottom strip
with tiny tags that have ric rack and inked art stones
 and pearl.

the back tag with a pink pearl.


and that is my completed MM multiple tag make.
It was so much fun, takng some time to pick
and choose with some items being discarded and
looking for alternatives.
The hardest was the main tag, in the end left the top as is.

This Makes Me 'Smile'

 I so love the 'Theme' for our latest challenge over at Cut It Up

My sister loved sunflowers so every tme I see them
I think of her and 'Smile'. 
Hence the reason for today's die cuts and sentiment.


I love usng corrugated cardboard so that was
the perfect backdrop (swiped with white gesso)
tearing the top and bottom for my
multi die cut popped sunflower
in shades of yellow/orange from Tim's Oxide's
and some shimmer from Nuvo Solor Flare.
Added twine to the back and green leaves
cut from the same set.
I embossed an old CB leaf folder with white card stock
adding background texture
and finished with a fussy cut 'smile' from STAMPlorations
onto white card base.
Head over and see what thoughts came to mind
for the Team's 'Smile' creations
and come join in with what makes you 'smile'
to our Gallery.
Hope to see you there.
