Two tags

Good morning to you! I do hope you're fine and happy! I'm glad to report my dads procedure went well - he should be home today all being well! I hope so!

I've got two tags to share with you today - the first I made last night in response to a challenge over in the Chocolate baroque Facebook group - I love this - I was so pleased how it turned out!



I created the background using Distress inks - scattered straw, shabby shutters and spiced marmalade - then stamped the green butterflies and the words in the background. Then I stamped the full butterflies and fussy cut them. These stamps are all from the same sheet from chocolate baroque - you can find it here.

My second tag involves a silhouette stamp from little claire


This tag was made in response to a number of challenges that I will list later. The background was created using distress inks and a stencil from TH plus a TH stamp. 


The image has been simply stamped and then coloured using distress inks.

I'd like to enter this tag into the following challenges:

Sunday stamper pinkleart- Brown
Little Claire littleclairesdesigns- Tag

Thanks for dropping by today - I'm sorry if I haven't been around to comment so much recently - things have been getting on top of me a little - but I will try to do better!

Big Hugs to you all!

Rachel xx
