...aha... tis Wednesday again so that means it is time for the bloggers of the world to unite in the phenomenon that is What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday... devised and hosted by Head Desk Hopper in Chief, Julia Dunnit, this is a fab way to skive off work/get out of doing chores/while away a few hours hopping around Blogland looking at everyone elses messes, I mean desks ;o)
So... this week there is a veritable feast of nothingness on my desk... paying close attention to the fact that I am still polishing my halo and keeping my desk tidy... and yes, the floor around the desk is tidy too... I know, I know, I usually say that and don't provide pictorial proof... and that's the same this week I am afraid... but only cos I want to show you this:
Ooooh, I have been playing with the new Distress Stains - Picket Fence has gone straight in at No 1 being my all time fave, with Aged Mahogany a close second... so... combine them together... ooohlalalaaaaa... lushness indeedily!
So... this tag was on yesterdays post - bare and un-decorated - I slapped a lot of stamping over the top - using Plum Archival for the background script and Black Archival for the focal points. The flower is made from Kraft Resist which has been Aged Mahogany'd... and then had Fresco Metallic Glaze popped over the top... oooooh, the lushness just got better, I don't normally do "bling" but this is an exception!
Anyways... I am giving this tag away... to be in with a chance to rehome it, all you need to do is leave me a comment on this post and I will get Mr Random.org to pick a winner, chosen randomly, next Wednesday - the winner will be announced on next weeks WOYWW post. Right... I have a list of things to do today... and as much as I would love to stay and chat, those dishes won't wash themselves up (no but the dishwasher will rofl) Thanks for looking... TTFN!

Enabler, indeed. I've dithered about Distress Stains, thinking I don't REALLY need them, but you are so wicked to show me that maybe I do.
Tsk Tsk
Love the samples in the previous post. Fabby backgrounds.
Mary Anne
Fabby tag......the colours kind of remind me of Ribena!! YUM!
Oooh, I'm so excited because I have some Plum Archival on its way from Simon Says Stamp and I'm extra happy now that I've seen it in action. It's beautiful! The whole tag is beautiful. Must get those stains next.... =)
I'm Jealous, you got the stains!!!!! Oh well, I'll survive for a while I guess. The desk and room look immaculate considering the awesome creativity that emerges from it to grace our screens and magazine pages and that tag is just lush! Thanks for sharing.....
Well, the queen of tattered flowers reins again. That one is gorgeous. I've had a go just once with Kraft paper but must try harder. Love the effect of the new stains. I want, want, want - the stains that is, but if they come in the form of a tag, I'll settle for them that way LOL.
Hugs Joanne xx
Amazing Tag Hels. I have promised to add the new distress stains to my collection soon!! Love the new colours!
Also, well done for keeping everything so neat and tidy!
Regards
Miriam

Hello my darling - long time no contact - hope you are ok - are we due a catch up email???
Anyway - full points and go straight to the top of the class collecting a star or house point on the way for a tidy desk. You know what they say (or rather what we used to say to my former boss - tidy desk=untidy mind... nowadays I'd say untidy desk = creative mind... so don't be sorry for being creative!!!
Love love love love love that tag and hope the Mr Rand.O. Morg chooses me to be the recipient. Its scrummy my darling - you are so talented - no wonder you are famous (lol)...
All my love and hugs
Paula x x x

Your desk looks great. Just perfect to start a new project. But I've read you like the Distress Ink. That's the same with me. It's great to work with. And you've made a fab tag with it. Well done.
