sweet love goddess and bird

birds birds birds how i love these birds!  it is week two for the lunagirl moonbeams challenge.  we are asking everyone to "put a bird on it"  by adding birds to your art.  the randomly chosen winner will get some shopping $$ for the lunagirl store. i have another tag for DT inspiration this week,

i really enjoyed making this tag.  i started with some wonderful designer paper from my stash which i lightly stamped in brown ink with a "crackle" background stamp from sonlight impressions.  i added a torn strip of some additional designer paper at the bottom.  on the left side i doodled some spirals with my red-gold metallic pro-marker.  i also added the moth, torn from some other designer paper and lots of washi tape.

the beautiful lady is from the lunagirl "goddess" collage sheet and the bird is from one of the many "birds" collage sheets at lunagirl.  the stamped "je t'aime" is a stamp by rogue redhead designs.  i stamped it on tissue paper and tore that as well.

i hope you will join our fun!  there is a nice lunagirl vintage bird image freebie here and more here if you are interested as well!
love to all.

another christmas greeting...

hello dears.  as mentioned yesterday, the challenge for the rest of this week at the cheerful stamp pad is "a Christmas Greeting."  because of the special prize for the random winner -- 6 months subscription to Inlinkz -- Vicki (cheerful stamp pad blog owner) kindly said the design team members may enter this challenge as well so long as we provide an additional piece.  so here we go:

i stamped the sentiment by Impress on some festive green designer paper.  that is layered on some Christmas design paper and affixed to pale green card stock.  only a couple flowers and beads so as to keep the main focus on the greeting.

i'm wishing everyone lots of cheer and if you are already making Christmas cards with greetings as a focal point then you owe it to yourself to link up to the challenge!

much love to all.

worn wallpaper

this card was for my technique junkies "just one" partner for september. i used the worn wallpaper technique from the most recent tjs newsletter. http://www.techniquejunkies.com/
the technique was done on a green design paper and i used the same background paper for the peacock feather. there's a layer of the green design paper behind the worn wallpaper layer as well. the crackle stamp is sonlight impressions and the peacock feather is fred b mullett stamped twice overlapping and embossed.

enjoy & love to all.
