On the Wild Side

Hello, dear friends, followers and new readers!

Today I am here to present to you the brand new challenge themes over at Try It On Tuesday and FunwithATCs (if you want to know more about the latter please scroll to the previous post).

On the Wild Side
 is this fortnight's theme for 


and I LOVE IT and of course I hope you do too!
We want you to feature animals or birds with your creations.  (Sounds like birds were no animals... *lol)
Well, many of us have specialized on bird stamps (when it comes to "animal stamps") and love them (as do I) - so this is a wonderful challenge to get them out and use for a gorgeous project to enter! So this is why they are mentioned separately. But of course any animals you feature are welcome ;)



It was the perfect occasion for me to use my brand new RedLead jar stamp together with the lovely Oxford Impression stamps from the "Deep Sea" sheet. 

I stamped the images using jet black archival ink and coloured them with brush felt tip pens afterwards. The labels were stamped using HeroArts alphabet stamps, cut out, blended with DIs and glued to the tag.



I also stamped the "NATURE" script onto the ribbon for the tag to add some texture.  A little blending with DI "spiced marmalade" and "antique linen" with tag and ribbon. Done!






Hope to see your entries soon over at Try It On Tuesday
Happy crafting and hugs,

die amelie x
