Monday Simon Challenge

Wild Things

Monsters can be Wild Things

I learn something every day.
Today I learned that Ink doesn't
stick to Ink. Or at least that is
what happened...twice.
No MISTI to test that theory.
But the result is what I wanted-a subtle Happy Birthday on the side.

25 days of tags: Day 3

 


I was inspired by the snowman tag by Tracey herself! I loved the bold image and bright colors.
Unfortunately I don't have her stamp so I used a VERY OLD Stampin' Up snowman from my collection.

This is the prototype I will use for the gifts I give to neighbors. I have some adjustments to make on the tag inself. I have lots of them stamped to color with Inketense pencils on the airplane today. TFL!

Thinkin' 'bout you!



Mama Elephant: In My Heart

For the Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Blog. I placed the white panel on foam and didn't like the "bump" from the twine. I cut the foam in pieces  to allow for the thickness of the  twine. I wonder how it will go through the mail??

Dies- Simon Says Stamp: Stitched Rectangles | Mama Elephant: Border

I love the dimensional aspect that twine (and string) provides. I am wondering, however, if mom will have to remove it because of two smaller sibs? Same reason I didn't use sequins!
