Over at Simon Says Stamp and Show the challenge is  Metal -ology.  I have not used metal much.  I tried to make a sign, but it just did not work.  I will have to try that technique again when I have time.  I used the distressed paint on the tattered flowers.  The background was made by embossing the tag.  Then using distress ink and clear embossing powder on the raised letters, to create a resists.

I also posting this at the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral Challenge.  Five lucky winners will receive $100.00 bags full of goodies.

Over at Inspiration Emporium it's "Love is in the air".  I am taking Stephanie Ackerman class "52 card pickup.  I have had a chance to start on this, so I am entering the first of my cards in the challenge.

"Something Messy".  Over at Simon Says Stamp & Show, the challenge is something messy.  I have been working on my backgrounds and trying some different techniques.  I used clear embossing resist and stenciling with paint.  Simon Says is offering a $50. voucher to their on line store.  Not sure the picture does it justice.
