Marcie on a night out

Hello crafters!
For you today I have another inspiration make for our Country View Challenge held in the Facebook group. This month the theme is "Silhouettes" hosted by Carol

My tag features Lavinia's Marcie (LAV 916) who is taking a sabbatical from witchcraft until October... 🤣 


All she needed to do was hang up her hat and broom! (I wiped off the ink from these areas before stamping).
My base is AALL & Create paper #9 Tarnished Wonders, inked with Distress and Distress Oxide Inks.
I also stamped Small Pine Trees (LAV 836), Mini Seed Head (LAV30) and Mini Fairy Lantern (LAV 588) which Marcie is now holding to light her way to a fancy soiree.

Lavinia's moon was too big for my tag so I just reserved a portion of a circle top left and added white with Distress Crayon in lieu of a stamped moon.

To create the glow around Marcie I used pastels and white gel pen add a few details to the tag.

Butterfly Box

Hello crafters, 
This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Ellie is "I spy B". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.

For my make I chose Butterfly and made this box:



The focal image is built up with AALL & Create #113 Washi Tape "Nostalgic Post" , and matted on Paper Artsy Chatsworth paper.

The box itself is made with the Shadow Frame Box die set by Tonic.

For finishing touch I added a butterfly die-cut with Sara Signature Country Lane Swirled Butterflies by Crafters' Companion, which doubles up as a lid pull.

Santa is coming to town

Hello crafters!
Today I have a first inspiration make for our Country View Challenge held in the Facebook group. This month the theme is "Silhouettes " hosted by Carol

I am not normally one for making "Christmas in summer" but it seemed appropriate as I haven't had the chance to use the  Sizzix/Tim Holtz Vault Christmas Magic die set (666718) very much so far.


I used paper from my stash for the sky and ground.

The sentiment is an old stamp, also from my stash, and I added some iridescent stars with So Soft paint in White Pearl for some shine with the Tim Holtz Mini Layering Stencil 43 (THMST043)
