This week's challenges

This week's inchie challenge was "CITY". I think I went a quite predictable way with a city scape, but perhaps combined with the sunset it is acceptable -


And an old, new challenge, or should that be new, old challenge? Errmm. Thanks to my bloggy friend Anni ( Fabric Art blog ) I found out about a new Tag Tuesday challenge. If you know my blog well, you know that I took part in a different Tag Tuesday challenge last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was so sad when that one finished, so you can imagine how pleased I was to find a new one, yay! We post on a separate blog - Tag Tuesday . If you hop over there, you will find the most amazing tags made by very talented people, I am thrilled to bits to be in such good company there. But of course I just have to show you my tags on here as well, lol, you didn't think you would escape that, did you now?

Last week's theme was "SNOW" and this is the tag I made for it -


Our cottage in France is in the middle of nowhere, and when it snows, the snow stays pristine and sparkly and beautifully untouched all around us until it melts away. I wanted to capture that wonderful sparkle of pristine snow on my tag.

I used a piece of vellum which had sparkly flowers on it, tiny white satin roses, white net from a piece of vintage lace, little gems and German glass glitter in white and silver to simulate snow below the flowers.

This week's challenge is another wintery theme - " SNOW SPORTS AND GAMES ". I love vintage and antique illustrations, so I chose a pair of Victorian skaters for this one -
