Tims tag October 2013, a housemouse card and a commenters candy

Hello there - how are you? I hope you are well and happy. I'm feeling better today and thanks for your kind comments yesterday - they always make me feel happy!

So first off today I've got my version of Tims tag Oct 2013 to share with you. Here's the masters tag:

DSC06998

you can find his post about how he made this here.

Here's what I did:





for once I am very happy with this tag - I loved especially creating the background and think the distress paint colours I used worked well (mowed lawn, spiced marmalade, dusty concord, antique linen). I love the drippy effect I managed to achieve. The writing in the background and the skeleton are apothecary remnant rubs and the web and sentiment came from a stamp and cut set that I found fabulously easy to use - the distress glitter on the web and spider is also fabulous - it is different from other glitters - give it a try if you haven't used it! I'd like to enter this into the tims tag challenge.

Onto my next item - a card made from the housemouse triple CD - I'm not a CD crafter but they do come in handy at times:

The images and sentiment came straight from the CD as did the backing paper - I've just added the ribbon and leaves. I'd like to enter this into the housemouse-challenge : pumpkin.

Finally I have a commenters candy to offer you - all you need to do is leave a comment here and be a follower - I don't want you to advertise in your sidebar - I'd rather this went to somebody who drops by here regularly but obviously any followers who leave a comment will be eligible. I will post worldwide.


There's papers, wooden shapes, ribbon, stamps, tatty teddy toppers and an embossing folder.

Looking forward to hearing from you but if you don't wanted to be included in the draw let me know - I will draw the name of a winner on 23rd October.

Big Hugs

  16. I love the inkyness of your tag, a fabulous background. I've kept away from the paints as I know I will end up wanting all of them. But this is gorgeous Rachel, the spider and web are fab, I'm guessing that is the Distress glitter. Such a cute House Mouse card. I have several CD's but use them only now and again, they are very handy if you are in a rush. Have a lovely weekend x

  26. Love your tag Rachel, a great interpretation. I started these myself but only got to March lol I just didn't have all the stash and was struggling to come up with alternatives. I have to say though I did enjoy challenging myself to do something different!

    Like the House Mouse card too ...don't seem to see these cuties very much lately
