Tuesday's offerings

 Here are a couple f creations made last night and this morning ...

First up, a tag I started yesterday morning and finished last night.  The tag is inked in distress inks and glimmer mists, before being stamped all over with the Love definition from a TH set.  The hearts are also a TH stamp, from Heartfelt.  I stamped them, distressed them and cut them out, before crackle painting them.  The tag, hearts and grungepaper letters (distressed with DIs) have all been swiped with a gold dabber.  I inked up the charm using alcohol inks, and then stamped part of the heart over it and wiped the ink off.  It doesn't show as well as it could, but it looked daft with white gloss paper behind, and didn't show up at all on black ... so peer closely!!!  Finally some seam binding stained with black soot DI.

Challenges:

Simon Says Stamp n Show - anything but a card

 And onto a House Mouse card ... I haven't played with my meeces for ages ... think I might have forgotten how to colour them!  The image is coloured in warm and cool greys and black. I embossed the white cardstock using my sizzix embossing folder (must find its name!!) and then added lots of black and white embellishments and a big bow.  I wrote the sentiment myself.
