All those tags....MMMC Mid Month


Welcome to the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge ~ MidMonth!


Our sponsor this month is...

When working on my first post for the challenge,
I made up a BUNCH OF TAGS.
If you missed it....here is my video on
how I made my tags using stamps fromTopFlight Stamps.


I truly had an AWESOME time working with
my Block Wallah ~ Exotic  and also
Katzelkrafts ~ Clouds stamps.

So.....what does one do with all these "tags"??!??!
You fancy 'em up....
a flower
some leaves
a bit of ticking
a length of wire ribbon
and a loopy bow.

But then what??
You've end up with a pile of tags. 
So I thought I'd try something different.


I decided to cover an artboard with some vintage paper,
added a bit of vintage curtian and
an larger piece of flute.....
to create a tag, worthy of hanging on your wall.

What is your SUPERPOWER?

Welcome to April's CHALLENGE


Our sponsor this month is Stampers Anonymous.


Well....I don't own any "super hero" stamps
so that isn't my superpower
(as my grandson hangs his head in shame)

But I think my superpower is creating with 'TOVERS
one of my FAVORITE things to do....
you see I was raised....
Waste NOT.....WANT not!


.....so I have a tendency to collect
"useable" pieces parts....'TOVERS.


Here is a quick video of me creating
this 'TOVER Mixed Media Tag.


Here are a few closeups.....

Butterflies and BLOOMS

Hello my friends....
I want to say a BIG THANK YOU
to my girl Rachel Kleinman
for her post on Facebook about this months
CHALLENGE
over at The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge!


It just so happened I had a project in the works
that I could use to fit this challenge!!


I had been trying out some new Perfect Paint products
and using a new technique, I had just learned, of rubbing on
Polishing Plaster with my finger.
I was able to create this rather cool background
using this technique.


I don't know if you've noticed??
...but, I've had this thing for hearts.....lately,
ok, so yes, I will admit, A LOT!
So, why should this creation be any different??
and one from a bit of vintage curtain
that was just laying around.


I had a few 'TOVERS I chose to use,
the Bloom part of the challenge, a Petaloo Sunflower
and some ivy leaves.


I added a few Petaloo ~ Mini Pearl Daisies colored with
I also added a little of the same color,
to the previously colored Sunflower.


Last but not least......a Butterfly
another part of the challenge!

I hope you have enjoyed my creation for
and I challenge YOU to play along!
