Hello to you all, My share today uses some new stamps I treated myself to,they are Julie Nutting Dolls made by Prima. This is one of the newer smaller stamps, card size,the larger ones are more for large tags. This one is called "Sunshine"...

.I made the backing with Fresco paints mainly yellows and greens and also used a couple of stencils....The doll has been fussy cut and paper pieced the dress....I need a bit of practice with the fussy cutting.The sentiment comes in the set but I decided to cut this up to. I hope you like it...xxx

Wall Tag 18

Hello I am back with another tag for the wall, all stamps used are from Indigo Blu the words are from the Boadicea Set and the backing is Floral Swirl. I have sort of followed a Tim Holtz tutorial for this.. I painted the tag with black acrylic let it dry and then clear embossed the swirl stamp, when this had cooled  down I then covered it all with pink acrylic and before this dries get a damp cloth and start wiping the pink paint off to reveal the image and some black backing. I said sort of followed as I used acrylic paint not the paint Dabber.

I hope you like this.xxx
