Lucky Number....

... So, the first of September already! Blimey and thrice, this year is fair whizzing past us isn't it? Anyways... the first of the month can mean only one thing... time for a brand new challenge over on The Artistic Stamper Creative Team blog. This month the theme is ... NUMBERS. Tis worth joining in too because there's always some lovely rubber to be won! This month the Creative Team are focussing on Tissue Tape... it is also on Special Offer too... so bargains galore indeedily.



I used Tissue Tape to make a little banner to fit across the bottom of my tag - which is a doddle to make... simply pleat the TT onto some cardstock, cut to fit the size, trim the edges and then colour with Distress Inks/Stains. My tag base is Pine Needles combined with Picket Fence Distress Stains... oooh, I love that teally colour that combo makes! I used the mini polkadots background stamp to do the background... added some numbers in Black Archival and then set about making a flower. I cut some old book pages on the Tattered Florals die - using the Spikey one... colouring come with Picket Fence and then Pine Needles, some with just Pine Needles and the rest were left bare.




Once they were all piled together, I added a little Accoutrement button and then made a pleated rosette for the flower to sit on. I used the same prinicipal as the banner, but instead just pleated the tape around a circle of cardstock... this was then coloured with Black Soot Distress Ink. The sentiment is another new word... I love the style of this font... it is grungey without being too grungey.. if that makes sense lol



Anyways... enough of the waffle from me for one day... I am off to get inky again and I will be back tomorrow with more inky things I have made! Thanks for looking... have a fabby day! TTFN
