Hi Everyone, we have been having sunny spells today, which is really refreshing again.
Today I am showing a tag I have made to join the CoC challenge 32 at Linda's fab blog, Studio L3. This week it is an inking and masking technique which can be found on P.59 of Tim's book. I learnt one very important lesson from playing with making my own mask and that is to be aware of the ghost or shadow around the image if you haven't cut the mask close enough to the line, in fact I would say cut just inside the line. I will next time. The wings were stamped on acetate and glitter added to the back, I also used glitter pens on the clothes.
Other challenge blogs I used for inspiration were Simon Says Stamp and Show - A Tag and Just for Fun - Time Flies (I used the wings and clocks but in a different way and used a different sentiment - hope that's ok girls?)

Thanks for your comments on my blog - Craftathon 2011 is where six crazy crafters (who have met via craftbubble) are heading to Accrington for the weekend. We have a Rachel Greig workshop (DarkRoom Door) booked at Dawn Bibby's shop. We've booked a B&B and persuaded them to let us craft there too!!! It'll be a blast!
