Live life in colour

 



Our new challenge for June at Tag-along (and ATCs) begins today. I have chosen the theme this time and it is ...

Add some Text
or anything goes

If you wish to join in with the challenge theme, it can be as simple as your sentiment or adding interest to the background, the choice is yours. You can enter up to four times with Tags, ATCs and Bookmarks.

For my tag I used my last piece of a Stamperia pad called Romantic Collection - Threads. Not often I use a whole pad up, but I loved the papers. Then I printed out a very old digi of a dress on a stand. It says it is from melzstamps.blogspot.com but that doesn't seem to exist anymore, it was in 2009. In order for it to stand out from the background I cut away part of the print around one edge of the dress and then rounded two of the corners with a punch.

I added a couple of stamped thread cards which were freebies from the now closed Crafty Individuals. The main sentiment is from a CC stamp set Sassy & Classy, the smaller ones are from an AALL & Create stamp set. To finish I die cut some buttons from the paper pad using a CC die set.

For my ATCs - I used Jane Austen papers from Polka Dot Studios. I had made a mistake when printing for this project, and some were in black and white, so I decided to utilise them. For the first sentiment I used two pre printed tiny words (purchased from PDA craft) and then using peg stamps printed the rest onto kraft card. I designed the second sentiment on the PC.


For our winner a bundle of goodies suitable for creating ATC's.

I'm entering my 2nd ATC into The Outlawz Anything but a Card challenge for June.

Absolutely beautiful Lynn. The paper looks gorgeous and yay for not just hoarding it!! I seem to do that a lot with pretty papers! Great theme for the challenge too, hope I'll find some time to join in.

I love your sewing tag Lynn. The background is so gorgeous and brings back memories as I come from a sewing family. Your Jane Austen theme is absolutely gorgeous, a happy mistake with the black and white ones. Brilliant theme, really enjoying it.

What a great tag; love the sewing theme with all the little bits including the little ruler! As for the ATC;s, I really like the b/w with the color! That is a wonderful effect bringing the vintage time to life. Thanks so much for sharing with us at The Outlawz Anything but a Card. Katrina
