moo meet tag

for moo mania and more: colour (use all color, minimal white); and tag tuesday: birds, nests and eggs; and gecko galz "bless this nest."

this is a standard "moo" (1.1 x 2.8 canvas) made into a tag by means of a punched hole and a frayed piece of yarn. the bird, twig and sentiment came from a free gecko galz collage sheet (if you sign up for the monthly newsletter you get a free collage sheet every month; info on the gecko galz blog home page). 

the background was created using multiple papers glued on cardboard, watercolor spritzes and a glaze finish.  i made lots of these some years ago and had only small bits left -- perfect for a moo-size!

for those in my hemisphere it is finally spring. the cherry blossoms are blooming, the crocuses are out and the birds are singing with abandon. may the times be sweet and happy for all. love to all.

favourite stamp

last week a new two week challenge opened up at tag tuesday -- use your favourite stamp, theme selected by DT member joan. well, i have hundreds of stamps and am hard pressed to identify a favourite. i have always liked the simplicity of this pear stamp by rubber stampede.

the background paper is from the gecko galz curiosity shop digital craft kit and i stamped the pear on a dictionary page after spritzing it with water color inks. there's a little washi tape and enamel dots on here too.

one week to play along! please join us!
love to all.
