Raining wisdom

Hello from a wildly wet and windy Cambridge :-)

 Wow,we are being blown into March this month! So without further ado, this is what I have been up to today. Its a tag inspired by our recent weather and the lush Waltzingmouse Fanatics colour challenge over here. I luuurve these shades,so rummaged through my inks only to find I ONLY HAVE 3 PURPLES!!! Shock horror! That needs to be rectified with a shopping trip I think :-)

I used Waltzingmouse Asian Gardens Additions-a set I have never inked before,and an awful lot of various inks,ribbon and embossing powders...

The 'sparkly' cloud is embossed using Fran-tage AgedAqua,the other clouds are embossed in Distress Embossing powders Weathered Wood,then the outline embossed in WOW Brilliant White. The rain is embossed in a really old shimmer embossing powder. This is the colour pallet:

(No,I didnt hold back-I used EVERY colour on there!)

Well,thats all for me today,now to clear up all the mess I made,sigh... ;-)

Little ginger men ;-)

Hello!

Well,GingerBREAD men to be exact :-D

I wanted to take part in the fantastic Waltzingmouse Fanatics challenge,having a considerable amount of Waltzingmouse stamp sets. 

The challenge this month is a sketch challenge here

And this is what I came up with

I LOVE this set,and haven't used the gingerbread men before. They are coloured with Distress re inkers and have glossy accents on their eyes and buttons and Liquid Appliqué on their mouths and outlines (never used that before either-very exciting watching it puff up!...simple pleasures,eh?) The tag die is a Magnolia Doohickey.

Happy weekend folks!
