Try It On Tuesday – My Favourite things!!

Ooh how to choose? Yes it’s a very open challenge this fortnight at Try It on Tuesday because we want your project to feature your favourite things – whether that be a product, an image, a technique or a medium. Don’t forget to tell us what your favourite thing is and why!!

Well I dithered a bit, because to get all my favourite things on one project it would be the size of a large canvas. However, being sensible, for my favourite things I chose Lynn Perella Stamps, Distress inks, my favourite script background stamp, a stencil and a tag. Oh, and some mica powders but that was a bit of an accident because I forgot I had put them in the spritzer. Made it sparkly though!! Here it is after I’d finished inking, stencilling and stamping.

However I decided it needed MORE even though it was a small tag. So I stamped the word ‘dream’ which is from my favourite and seemingly everlasting set of self inking stamps from 7 gypsies. Truly I must have had these for about 10 years!! I added some black hemp twine as I love twine, even more than ribbon. I had to get in some embossing, so I triple embossed a wooden heart and then stamped into it with my favourite swirly stamp. I had to have a flower, so made a diddy one from scraps and tucked behind the heart. Found a metal embellie and added to her hat. And just because I can I added a little distress stickles. Some funky fibres and voila the finished tag. Hope you like.
