statues

the "statues" prompt at tag tuesday for this week stumped me.  in the end i made 2 tags -- one that failed to meet my aims and one i like regardless of whether it met my aims!  this tag which i feel pretty good about uses a favorite stamp from stampers anonymous.  this stamp is reminiscent of a statue or bust and i liked the effect from stamping it on a combination of dictionary and designer paper.

somehow she seemed to want to wear a lace veil so i gave her one, along with some other simple embellishments.

so, on to the tag i made first and which did not meet my expectations.  i have a photo i took on my cell phone of a dancing lion.  my friend and i debated if the lion was meant to be from wizard of oz.  we couldn't decide. but for my tag i attempted to add some wizard of oz elements (from a gecko galz collage sheet).  it just didn't come together as i wanted it to.  i'm sharing it anyway since it is all about the journey anyway.

happy rest of your week; love to all.

black and white tag

this week's prompt at tag tuesday is "black and white."  here is what i made:

once digging into my face stamps for the king and queen tags last week i found other face stamps which weren't workable for that challenge (that didn't fit the crown stamp!) and so i am re-discovering these wonderful stamps.  the stamp here is from stamper's anonymous.  i stamped it then cut it out and placed it over the 2 background papers which are DP from alpha stamps.  i made the flowers with a punch and placed little pearls in the centers.  the ribbon and cord are from my stash.

love to all.
