TIO Challenge 11 - Passion

This is my tag for Frankie's TIO challenge No 11 - Passion.

Frankie challenged us to make a tag with the theme of Passion and it could be your personal choice. My Passion is for the colour Purple along with Butterflies. I don't think Frankie will be surprised to see this as she know's what I like so well.

My tag was sprayed with Purple Violet Cosmic Shimmer Mists, background stamp is from Aspects of Designs 1 - Floral which I dusted with Cosmic Shimmer Powders prior to stamping my Butterflies from Inkadinkadoo and Artylicious. I added a fabric butterfly by attaching with a butterfly brad.

You now see where my passion comes from

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Script

At last, my first challenge card for Cynthia.

Her challenge this week was to use some 'Script' somewhere in your design, so I hope this meets her challenge. The Rose image is from the Harlequin Rose Themeplate which I coloured with my Inktense Watercolour Pencils. This was mounted onto a piece of green vellum which had embossed with the 'Script' embossing folder via my Cuttlebug. To continue the theme I attached a piece of gold mirri board before mounting onto another sheet of paper, this time, 'Swirls' embossing folder which I took from my stash. A cream organza ribbon to the side added the finishing touch.

I hope Cynthia likes this and that it is what she is asking for.

Diane's New Venture

This post is to let you all know that my friend DIANE is starting a new venture.
This is what she has to say:

I am frequently being asked if I know anywhere better than Ebay to sell handmade items, and I have to admit that I have never been able to recommend anywhere. So I thought we could try doing it on my site. We have started an online club which will allow you to do just that – your handmade items only – not the old coffee maker that you no longer need! Email me at diane@dianescraftysupplies.com to register your interest and receive details on how it will work. kind regardsDianeDiane's Crafty Supplies

Do take a look at Diane's online shop, it is stocked with up to date products and when you register you will receive regular emails from her, advising bargains and special discounts for members only.
Diane's online club starts tomorrow, 13th July, so don't delay, register your interest.
