Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend

My princess is sitting on diamonds, as that's the challenge over on Tag You're It this weekend.
The glossy paper has been sponged with dye ink pads, a technique I have shamlessly copied from Glenda's February newsletter from the Graphicus guild.
I never have any luck colouring this image, so I have left well alone!
Her crown is grungboard (not really very fitting for a princess) painted with gold acrylic. This has been decorated with real diamonds - What you don't believe me!! lol
Oh - and the best bit, I tidied up straigh away after myself so who's a good girl!!
Thanks very much for looking, and have a great weekend xx

Lots To Do Challenges - Tag It

Key to Your Heart
This weeks challenge is to incorporate a tag into your project. I've used Paper Artsy, and Catslife Press stamps - stamped and coloured in distress inks. The Grungeboard heart and key has been painted in gold acrylic dabber, and held in place with red brads.
The tag has been mounted onto a acetate jacket, and a Creative Imaginations rub on has been used to finish off. I love these rub - ons, they are so versatile.
I think this is destined to be my sisters anniversary card soon.
Thanks for looking.

The Sunday Stampers - Transport

I'm a bit late with my challenges this week as I visited my sister at the weekend while the boys?? went to watch Barnsley at Wemberleee - enough said (and for those who have no idea what I am talking about they lost to Cardiff in the FA Cup)
This really hasn't photographed too well, but as it's hailstoning through the sunshine, I'll put it down to bad lighting lol.
This is an Elusive Images stamp that I don't use nearly enough, with a Stampboard tile in the middle.
The backing paper is actually orange (told you it hasn't photographed too well) Basic Grey.
The grungeboard has been painted with gold and bronze acrylic dabbers. It just arrived today from that well know auction site, and I love it.
It's my uncle's birthday soon so the 'happy birthday' stamp finished it off. I'l just leave it until the last minute now to post it:o)
