Therefore and Because

Hello.  Welcome.  The end of the month looms.  Again.  Where does the time go??  Wizz, another month older.   A couple of days ago I got some new fun dies from Cheery Lynn.  Have you seen their wordy beasts??  Well, that's what I'm calling them.  They call them general designs!!  Boring!!!!  Definitely need a Wordy Beasts category.  OK, so I had the elephant and the hippo and then they go and release more lovely animals so I hit the credit card with a large stick and it coughed up enough for a pig, a cow and a kangaroo.  Yippeeee.  Say hi to Penny the Pig


Fun or what!?  It's been ages since I made a tag so I made a tag.  I used the Stamplorations sketch.  I started with some Prima paper and fancy cut the top using Spellbinders Label 20 set.  I used Stamplorations Retro Circle stencil and VersaMagic Pink Petunia.  


The ripped layers are Whatman filter paper, coloured with very dilute Brusho's, stamped with Worn Lipstick distress ink and the newsprint stamp from Stamplorations Live Love Laugh set.  I added VersaMagic Pink Petunia and Gingerbread to the edges and distressed them.  The live and love are from the same Stamplorations set stamped in Colourbox Black Cherry.  The pig was cut from MME patterned paper and coloured with distress inks.  



I added some sequins, a brad and some strange string stuff.
