Tag time!


Ink Sprays : Cherry Pie, Bubblegum Pink, Pure Sunshine
Monster Mash, Say it how it is
by Dylusions

These new Monster stamps by Dylusions just crack me up! 


Don't you just love those eyeballs?! Of course, I just HAD to add a touch of red Stickles to the eyeballs .... I'm not usually a Stickles kind of girl, but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

I'm taking this super-large tag with me to the Stitches trade show tomorrow at the Birmingham NEC. Hope to see some of you there :-)

This morning I was making a different sort of tag, at a workshop I run in my village. I just love this technique of alcohol ink on embossed metal, and then distressed with a sanding block. LOVE this look.

And here is the class all hard at work, helped along by some wonderful home baking by my Mum! Thanks Mum ;-)


Byee for now, enjoy your weekend!

    Holy smacks, Kate, these are fabulous! I really love the first one...mostly it's background, but the monster is a killer too! Oh, I wish you created scrapbook papers so I could buy them and have some fabulous backgrounds without the mess.

    Just love that quote :-) Eyeballs have always made me feel a bit squeamish but they look great on the tag.

    Both tags are gorgeous. Ive got to save my pennies to get me some monsters.
    I do have a question for ya. When you say super large tag just how large are we talking about?
    I always have a time with making tags and always wonder what size to use and what size is norm if there is a norm.
    Thanks for sharing all your awesome works. I so wish i lived closer to you guys so i could attend a class. We have none around here to attend.
    Have a great weekend

      Hi Mary. These tags are Ranger tags and measure 22 x10.5 cm. Ranger make tags even bigger than this! I love working on a big tag! I also mounted this on mount board so it's really sturdy. Kate x
