May Challenge

There's a Tag Challenge at Penny Black and More, so I thought I'd stamp a tag or two.
I scraped some Gesso onto a scrap of card, then various shades of green Distress ink, to see what happened. I quite liked the result but wanted to add some words, so I rooted out my old Flower words - the stamp actually perished (no idea why - it's an old rubber PSX stamp and I was pretty upset when I discovered the state it was in) in parts, but I quite like the faded effect, so I kept it for backgrounds. I used Pine Needles Oxide ink and stamped it repeatedly down one side, then added a few circles in Bundled Sage, one of the colours I'd previously used. I wasn't keen on that, so after stamping the silhouette flowers and embossing it all, I added a bit of stencilling in Brilliance Moonlight White. I mounted the whole tag onto black card because it wasn't very thick, then added a couple of cut off strips, punching one of them with a tiny hole punch, just for a bit of interest. Then I stamped my words, punched a hole and threaded some frayed ribbon through.
There's an Anything Goes Feminine Challenge at Watercooler Wednesday, so I used a couple of my 'wino' stamps for a bit of fun and coloured the girls with Prisma Pencils.
I'll also link this to Addicted to Stamps and More's Make Your Mark Challenge and would like to link it to Shopping Our Stash Challenge's 'Ode to Jessi'. I was inspired by this card on Jessi's blog.
I enjoyed playing with the greens, so I made this card, too.
I'll link this to Happy Craft Challenge ATG.
Thank you so much for visiting.
Back soon...

Cath, your wine card struck a string in my heart! I've made so many friends over a glass of wine During my life! Your coloring of the two gal-friends is great, and of course the sentiment is perfect! Thank you for sharing your creative talents with us at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges! -Donna
