Time Flies...

Hello Friends

Time really does fly, it is less than a week until Christmas day, how did that happen?

My weekly Guest Designer post for AALL & Create uses a beautiful A4 stamp by Tracy Evans and the stamp is called 'Time Flies'.  
These very dull days make it difficult to get good photos.....

I have condensed the photos, as this is a very busy time of year.  Briefly, I stamped with Archival ink onto tissue paper and glued this to my large chipboard tag with matte medium.  You can of course, stamp directly onto the tag and with some clever masking you can cover the whole tag with the stamp.

I used Distress Paint to colour my tag, including the background and left it to dry. I mixed Texture Paste with Distress Oxide (Gathered Twigs) and then applied this through AALL & Create Stencil #39 by Autour de Mwa randomly over the tag.
A view of the tag before embellishment.  I added clock hands to the clock element.
A view of the top.
Another view of the completed tag.

As always, thanks so much for your visit, I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas, I will see you again after Christmas.

Hugs, Anne xxx




The stamp and stencil set I used are shown below,  these can be purchased from stockists listed here at AALL & Create.

  13. A fantastic tag Anne, making such clever use of the AA&Create products! All you have done with them over the last few weeks has been super clever and creative! (I actually purchased that stencil and have just started to play with it)

    (I have probably missed quite a few of your posts, but as you may remember, I have decided I will only post on Fridays and visit on Sundays from now on, as, though I love seeing all the work that people create, I find blogger to be a too time consuming platform these days, sorry about that, I hope you understand)….
    Have a wonderful Christmas and all the best for a creative and hopefully healthy 2019!

  14. Well, you can probably guess that I love this one - my favourite colours and I just love how you've lifted some of those circles into 3D with the stencilled texture and the rusty washer. A gorgeous tag. Merry Christmas!
