About Me

My Photo
Hi my name is Tab and I'm married to Leigh, and we live in a little village in Leicestershire, UK with our very cuddly Shih Tzu called Teddy and between him and Leigh they make me laugh each day! I love to spend my time either doing a bit of crocheting or inking up a rubber stamp....truly love both and I love to dabbling in a bit of cake decorating too :o)

Best Fishes

Morning one and all…..hope your doing well today…….oooooh its Thursday :o)……… you can almost touch the weekend :o)

As promised today I am back with a hAnglar stAnglar creation……..now with being so busy behind the scenes these last few weeks, I have only just managed to ink up me new set of hAnglars :o(……..but all is good cos I have now at least managed to use 4 of the stamps out of the set just on this one card :o)…..don’t ya just love it when that happens.

I have teamed up my mermaid hAnglar with some super delish Raspberry Road Design Papers called Family Ties….love the colours of these, they let me be the bright coloured crafter that try’s to get out every now and then, but they also satisfy my need for vintage/shabby chic too.

001

The cream flowers are Prima and all the other flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts, as is the Small Metal Corner.  The little Metal Flowers {spacers, that I have added a gem to the middle of} are from The Hobby House, as is the Gem Button.

The Seam Binding is from Creative Treasures, Tracy has some beautiful goodies in her web shop :o)

The cheesecloth, I received from a dear friend, mwah!

002

The image has been coloured with Prisma Pencils, blended with Sansodor and I have added copious amount of Stickle to her mermaid tail too.

Around the image I have used a stamp from the Stempelglade Stamp Set - Grunge Collection

The little charm is from Ebay, as is the metal pin.

003

The inside has been decorated simply, to compliment the front.  I used the little mermaid on the inside….love doing that….its one of the things I love about the kits :o)…..

I am entering my card into the following challenges :-

Everybody Art Challenge – Anything Goes
Deep Ocean Challenge – Flowers
Hooked on Crafts Challenge – Anything Goes

For anyone that is interested this card will be available on Ebay later this evening :o)


Well that is all from me today…..having a baking sess for Leigh’s work this afternoon…..cupcakes, cupcakes and cupcakes…..but don’t get excited they are all vanilla ones LOL…….of all the different flavours I have done , they are the ones that I get asked for the most…..but hey who doesn’t love a vanilla cupcake……mmmmm yum-o!

Hugs Tab xxx
