J and K tags!

It's that time again when those of us taking part in the Alpha tag swap over at Chocolate Baroque find our who our tags have gone to and whose creations we have received. Many of us found these letters quite a challenge this month. I chose J for Joy.

For this tag I chose a couple of stamps with the word joy from different Chocolate Baroque sets and then other stamps with happy thoughts and connotations! I used a mask for the background and then shaded with  pool and stream Adirondack dye inks. I added a little charm with a word which says laugh and some little sequin flowers with gem centres.

My K card was Klimt themed.

For this I used a swirly Cuttlebug embossing folder which I coloured with Micamagic bright gold reinker. I used a Chocolate baroque Klimt bauble stamp with I coloured with copper MicaMagic reinker used as a paint and different colours of Inktense pencils. I triple embossed the whole thing. I finished off with some die cut letters from the Tim Holtz Alphabetical die.

These aren't my favourite tags from those I have done, they had to be done in a bit of a hurry and I feel it shows. At least I am managing to keep up so far though. We have three to make next month so that will be a challenge!

Hope you are having a good weekend, enjoying the long weekend bank holiday in the way you enjoy best. Tomorrow we have a picnic planned with friends, although it looks like we may be rained off and have to retire to an indoor venue instead!
