Tag Tuesday this week is to use a bit of fabric, and that is my butterfly. It is stamped with a stamp from Eline Pellinkhof on fabric.
I used a piece of a Webster page and the children's image is a stamp from Artistic Outpost.

Just loving collage again
Happy Sunday! Here it is grey and damp.... But inside warm and cozy!
I am not motivated to enter any challenges these last months - I just create spontaneously as the mood is and the time allows. Going with the flow I suppose.
Like yesterday I just pulled out four pieces from my scrapbasket (see card above), juggled and glued and had myself a little card within twenty minutes. Thats how I love creating - picking up papers lying in a pile and turning them into a useful object that I can bless somebody with. When I pray I ask the Lord to show me who I can send a card too and bless them - usually, with a Bible verse or just a word of encouragement.
At work I have many opportunities to include a little creation in the mail I send. So I am happy that being creative is a tool I can use to bless others. I know how it blesses me ridiculously when I receive something from somebody in the mail, so thats what motivates me to create too!
Having made one collage card, never satisfies me, so here is the second one that followed.

Tag Tuesday - Mosaic
Definitely the most challenging challenge to date on the Tag Tuesday blog.
I don't even know whether I like this or not... but the sheer challenge of trying this technique just drove me.
I cut all the pieces out by hand. I had a template which I glued to the back of the stamped Peacock image and cut it out that way. Then I glued the pieces down and marked between the lines.

Masking
A couple of cards using the masking technique.
With the Lace background stamp I went for a different effect for the background.
These are Hero Arts stamps and the bird is from Artistic Outpost.

Little collage tag
This is not for Tag Tuesday - I need to think about that one, but this is a tag that just came together with a diecut that Hellemor sent me. Thanks Hellemor, I love that pp!
I reduced the size of the digital collage stamp I put together with Hero Arts and Artistic Outpost stamps and adhered to a smaller diecut.
See you later in the week!

Review of 2010
I wanted to do a little review of 2010 - one thing I made in every month that I want to remember. What better place than here at the beginning of 2011. Starting with January. My favorite is March 2010, three down.
I was all into digital butterflies at this time.
In the mean time I dropped the MS punch and it broke so I don't have use of this anymore. Loved distressing then and still love it!
Still using digital butterflies, big size. I also received some diecuts from Sue which I started using on cards.
The background flourish stamp which I got inspired by on Lin's blog has proved such a versatile HA stamp to use.
More digital butterflies and my first use of the Grass stamp from Hero Arts, intertwined with some lavender and pollen.
Used up some scraps to make a pocket with a tag.
This was made using the batik technique for my DH for our anniversary the 15th May.
Using up the scraps from the last months.
Love making tags with scraps too.
One of my favorites stamp I got around August last year, the Hero Arts Hydrangea.
The challenge in September was to make a tag with a banner.
Using up the scraps again with a grid.
A card using some of my favorite papers, colors and stamps.
For December I chose my robin tag.
I have made an exposition of my favorite cards made by other ladies from the Hero Arts flickr group, which can be found by visiting this link

Grids and inspiration
If there is one thing that I love the most that is mixing and matching with papers and colors, thats why I love these type of cards!
Just recently I got hold of some papers from Eline Pellinkhof who has a Dutch line of stamps and patterned papers. The colors are quite bold but I was drawn to them nonetheless. But I'm finding it difficult to cut into the papers, so I thought I would use the packaging in which the papers came.... I'm all for recycling anyway.
I want to share two other cards which two of my blogging friends made showing a unique way of using inchies that I am definately going to try myself. The first one is a grid which has been placed inside a stamped frame which has been white embossed on black paper. I think it is stunning! Look how the black and white brings out the vibrant colors of the inchies which have been punched out of stamping projects. Excellent!
This card is made by Nancy Krueger.
Secondly, feast your eyes on this beauty from Patty. Patty does not have a blog but can be found on the Hero Arts flickr gallery here.
This is so BEAUTIFUL! The inchies have been molded into a heart - I am definitely going to have to try this. I also love the color choice.
Have a fine day!
