Mice Day To Celebrate - Tags

I've been playing with my new MFT tags and Mouse stamp set to create this sweet duo of gift-tags.  

The two meecies are waterecoloured and fussy cut, and I've added a trim of coloured paper cut with a stitched cloud edger die at the top.

The tags are cut in a hammered cream card with a base ourline in a matching solid colour. 

I've added some soft seam binding and organza ribbon to finish them off.

Card Recipe:

From Dies To Die For:

• MFT Mice Day to Celebrate Stamp set
• MFT Mice Day to Celebrate matching dies
• MFT Tall Tag Duo Dynamics
• Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Border Dies

Whimsy Stamps - Penguin Winter Clear Stamps

 Hello everyone,

It's Sue here today!

I had the best time making todays card!  

It has all my favourite things!

...penguins, copics, inkiness, winter, snow and it's a Christmas card which are all my favourites!

I made the background by brayering Distress Oxide onto a piece of card.

The penguins are coloured with Copics (list of colours at the end of the post)

I layered the images onto vellum and fixed them to the background, finishing off with a sentiment.

such fun!...

I had a couple images left so I made some gift tags!

You're doubly sweet...

Happy Sunday everyone and Happy October 0-:  

Sue here today with a double dose of Stamping Bella Sweetness.

I have a few thank you's in respect of these two cards - 
firstly to our Faye for her inspiration and patient support and feedback in respect of my no lines colouring,
secondly to our Elaine for her wonderful inspiration in respect of colouring backgrounds and grounding an image, and finally to our lovely Tracy for not giving up on me whilst I've had a little break!

I would never had had the confidence to colour these sweeties without the help of these two lovely ladies!
