The main prize draw HERE has five opportunities for you to enter and all the other days from Day 2 on you have one opportunity a day.  As long as you enter on or before November 27th 11:59 pm EST and follow the entry guidelines.

  

 


   



Today I have another group of talented ladies guest designing with me, a big welcome to the extremely talented Ink Squad ladies at CAS-ual Fridays and also joining us today is former Girl Friday Mayuri! How fun is it to have so much talent jammed under one roof!










Of course wanted to use CAS-ual Fridays stamps today. I used Snowflake Splendor which is new this year for my tag.  I did some emboss resist using a few non-traditional colours of Distress Inks. I usually do not like messy crafty , but sometimes it just feels good to get inky!

  4. Wow, these aren't tags ... these are all works of art! Fabulous designs from amazing creators. I'm not a huge fan of a mess, but sometimes the final result ("sometimes", that's the key LOL) is worth getting inky for :-)

  37. Loving the tags and especially the Snowflake Splendour stamps.

  38. All of the tags are fantastic, the girls did a brilliant job. And really love your tag, those colours are so pretty together. To be honest, I get inky whether I like it or not. I'm a clumsy stamper and tend to ruin a lot of cards because I get it everywhere by accident. Frustrating but doesn't stop me from stamping!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. FABULOUS tags!!!
    LOVE all the different styles and designs - SO MUCH to INSPIRE!!!
    I love to get inky but have to confess that I only have 2 distress inks so far and I have such a lot to learn about inks, stamping, blending and heat embossing too - it is a FUN ADVENTURE :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Tracey, your tag series is like winning a tag-lottery, full of rich ideas and incredible, innovative inspiration. I had no idea that tags would be such amazing works of art! Today's series: stunning! Your tag: only jaw-dropping, awe inspiring. I soooo want to know where your tag die came from, as it's ultra beautiful! Getting inky: oh yeah! I usually end up with a bunch of messes in the process, but when I land on 'well inked inkiness' you're sure to hear the echoes of my cheering!

  41. I'm always stamping and trying new techniques. I end up with as much ink on my fingers as I do the paper. It's so much fun.
    Love the bell tag. Have to try that one.
    thanks for sharing.

  42. Such a variety of amazing tags from the CF girls! Your Christmas tree is just beautiful ... love the look of the white embossing against the yummy sponged DI colours! Me ... getting inky ... yep, in a minimalist, neat and tidy sort of a way! Anita :)

  45. Lots of inspiration here! I really love Kelly's burlap bell!

  46. Not sure which part is prettier: the soft jewel tones of colour, the dainty white-embossed "tree" or the delicate outline of the tag. I love getting inky--the dirtier my fingers are at the end of my session, the more satisfied I usually am with the results.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wonderful inspiration today, from you and your CAS Friday friends. What a fun series this is already. And, yes, I do like to get inky! I prefer if the ink can stay on the paper, but often find it on my fingers too.

    ReplyDelete

  68. If I come away from my craft table without ink stains on my hands, something has gone wrong! I love using distress inks & stains as well as water color to create my backgrounds. I rarely use colored card stock any more.
