Blue is the colour ....

DON'T PANIC, I'm not going to burst in to song ... you know the one ..... that well known football chant but it does give you a clue about the colours I have used on my Studio 12 project.

I am getting back in to loving making tags again as I did drift away from them for a long while. They are so rewarding to make and at times, less daunting than a card because you mostly create them for yourself, which does take the pressure off you sometimes. I have used the gorgeous Studio 12 "Art Girl" stamp and papers from Fredericka midi CD layered on to a Rangers large manilla tag.

I have stamped "Art Girl" and coloured her with distress inks, paper pieced her dress and then smoothered her in glossy accents. I have layered the papers on top of each other and stamped around the edges with the Studio 12 Shabby Checkers stamp.

I adore this sentiment  (Studio 12 "Leave a little sparkle" sentiment stamp) and have used it loads on my recent projects as it can fit any occasion and always brings a smile to me, when I read it. A few discovered brads and metal butterflies and my tag was finished.

Here's a summary of the PD products I have used .....

Been using the fab new Studio 12 stamps ....

Am a lucky bunny and Nikky sent me loads of new stamps to play with and thought I'd share one of my experiments (!) with you !!!

I wanted to make a card that had no DP on it at all and also use colours that were outside my comfort zone. A while back Nikky and I were chatting over in a social networking site (I wonder which one that could be now?!?!?) and we both decided that yellow as a colour was one we didn't use very much, so, I have decided to use yellow as my accent colour. Sorry wasn't brave enough to make it my main colour .....

I have used the following stamp sets to create my card ....

      

I have created my panels making different backgrounds using a selection of the element stamps, inking the edges and then layering these on to white and black card. My main background was made using the cross hatch design from the Dreamy Trees set. I even used the lickle tree to make the leaves for my flower! My card was finished with a few gems and lables (?) nestie. The ribbon offcuts were from my stash.

Not sure why my photo is at this angle and will try and redo this so you get a better view of all the different stamped layers.

Update: More photos added .....

Hope the snow isn't ruining your Sunday too much and the vibrant yellow colours in my card, bring a little spring to your day.
