Our first challenge for 2012 is underway at The Stampsmith Challenge. It is always lovely to be the host of a challenge and as I love to create tags the theme I am hosting is Tag Art. You can make any shape of tag, an individual tag or a tag added to a card but make the tag the main element and please remember that your artwork must include at least one Stampsmith stamp.
My DT piece started out with the intention of only making a tag but as I was working away and at the same time I was keeping in mind the need to make a birthday card for a friend, I decided I would add the completed tag to a card.
It is the first time I’ve used this beautiful stamp which comes from the Won’t You Be My Honey plateLayering up different pieces of lace, etc onto a manilla tag, topping with this beautiful image prior to adding to a card layered with sheet music and other bits ‘n’ pieces.So why not join the Tag Art challenge. There is a random prize draw every month but you can find all those details along with other entry information at The Stampsmith Challenge Blog (link at top of post). If you visit the challenge site you will also see the other wonderful DT samples created for this month’s challenge.

Oh Lynne, she was truly someones honey, back then-what a sweet face, and so beautifully framed in your lovely way of creating- I love you have (I guess) copied down the sheet music, so the whole name of the tune is there.- so wonderful a tag/card.
Wish you a good monday, dear-and hope your weather has slowed down.
Hugs, Dorthe
