Firstly I want to say thank you to all my new and existing followers, it really humbles me to know that you might be remotely interested in what I do, thanks so much.
Well, a first for me! I am actually one of the lucky winners on Tim's Tags for April - really, it is true, I have to keep pinching myself. I have won some candy in the past but I have never won anything like this. And as Mario himself said in his e-mail, I will always remember that I won a Tim Holtz competition first. Woohoo!
Anyway back to the job in hand. The fabulous Hels Sheridan (http://pinkleart.blogspot.co.uk/) over at Sunday Stampers has given a challenge to create something based on the epic Queen song - Killer Queen. Queen are one of my all time favourite groups and I think I know every song off by heart. I was not sure whether to go for Marie Antoinette or do something British so I opted to use the new Crafty Individuals stamps that I got on Saturday at Happy Stampers in Port Sunlight.
I have kept my tag fairly simple, distress inked the background, added the stamped images, a crown trinket and some lovely red,white a blue ribbon. One of my favourite lines from the song is " guaranteed to blow your mind" and I think that the Olympics and Queen's Jubilee will do that this year, so I added the words to my tag.
Thank you for looking and please do leave me a comment as I love to read them and I always try to return the favour (except I am not on Facebook or Pinterest). Crafty hugs, Anne x

Hello Anne, I've just spotted your brilliant Jubilee tag and if you dont mind I think I may pinch a few ides off it to do with my friends on Jubilee day.

You are very welcome to use any of my ideas, in fact I would be delighted if you did. Indeed, long reign the Doddly birds!! Crafty hugs, Anne x
DeleteCongrats on your April tag win! Love this Jubilee inspired tag.
ReplyDeleteOoh Anne this is so lovely. Great colours of course & the stamps look great. Your wordy bit is perfect - I guess you had to choose lyrics from one of their songs as you're such a fan. Great piece. Sx
