...brrrrrrr, brrrrrrr, brrrrrrrrrr....that's the sound of my teeth chattering together! Oh yes, another post starting with a commentary about the weather. But please? Can we have the sunshine back please? So. A couple of weeks ago I was at The Stamp Attic to do some inkyness and T'Pouch making with a group of lovely ladies. And I forgot to take pics of my effort that I made in class... so here it is!
It is a T'Pouch - for peeps who are going "huh?" at that word... it is a little pouch, made of card, that is sized to fit an 8pt tag into. I have been making these for about a year now... it is my excuse for having more to add stamping and embellishing onto... and I have done a little tut on how to make one HERE if you fancy having a play.
This one is slightly different because we actually decorated two tags, stuck them back to back and then added more tags to the tags (!) and pouchy bit... along with some die-cuts and stamped images and of course, inky techniques.
I was in a devil may care attitude that day and just grabbed the first three colours that were nearest to me. Which is totally out of character because I normally think carefully about the colours I am using (I do, even if it doesn't look like it rofl) This time I grabbed Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw (my new fave Stain colour) and Antique Linen and blended them onto the tags and card surfaces. And... did you know... Scattered Straw Stain is a perfect lighter shade accompaniment to Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge... using it with Wild Honey and any other warm toned colour makes it more yellowy. See, that is why I LOVE Distress!
Anyways... enough of the waffling... I have one of those "to do" lists today (well, I have one every day but....) you know the type, that take up a whole page... and yep, defuzzing cobwebs is on the agenda... I am sure that those pesky spiders all gang up one night and have a big party on the ceiling and then chuck loads of fluff at their webs... they have to... I would never let cobwebs grow like that over time... would I? *best not answer that one lol* Right... offski time... have a lovely day... TTFN!

I didn't know that about scattered straw stain so thanks for the tip. I think that balloon stamp is my newest all time fav stamp. Love your T'pouch, think I need to make one. If you have not already checked out on WOYWW No. 178 please do, then you will never need to worry about your spiders again - honest! Regards, Anne x

You are just too bloomin' clever. These are wonderful and I want them now. S'pose I'd better make some then eh?

I found you thru Mrs. Beez. So love your blog and your talent is incredible. Wow. I was looking for a place to subscribe thru email but didn't find one. Would love to be able to see your projects all the time. I'm an American in COlorado. You sure inspire me as I'm sure you do many, many people.
Just discovered your blog thru Mrs. Beez. Your talent is incredible. Sorry if I've already sent a comment but maybe my appreciation of your talent and projects will be worth having to read a comment from me again.
Love the t'pouch. Maybe if I can figure out the cm's I'll be able to make one. Just an American that doesn't understand how cm's work,only inches. Wish I could view your tv shows.
