ANTICS

I adore the new range of ant stamps by Tattered Lace. The characters are great and the stamps are very detailed which makes them easy to colour. The sentiments that go with them are humerous and go well with the stamps. They could be used for a variety of situations. I like quirky designs and they really appeal to me. I had two characters to work with- Ant-ique and Ant-ibiotic.

This character Ant-ibiotic  is dressed like a doctor and has a doctor`a bag

This is my favourite character - Ant-ique.  I can think of many occasions to use it.

I have combined the two characters in this shutter card.

I used pixie powders to make the background for the ant. They are so fun to use.

I love decorating bags I decided to put the ant in his own environment.

...and then to a completely new environment. The antique ant had to visit the Ant-ique shop!! I used the Tattered Lace retail therapy shop.

The doctor is useful for get well cards

I made this container for a gift card. I also made a tag but forgot to take a photograph!  I am sure I will be making more cards with these fun, quirky stamps.

Tiny tubs part 4

Here are a few more Tiny Tubs Creatures cut from the amazing Tattered Lace dies. I have now made over 50 characters that were not in the ideas book that comes with the dies.  It is therefore possible to make at least 75 different animals from the set! I have listed the die numbers I have used for each animal.

Tiny tubs part 3

I have made 18 more tiny tubs animals. However, one managed to escape the camera so I am uploading 17 designs. The warthog will have to wait for another day. The Tiny Tubs dies by Tattered Lace are very versatile and can be used to create a wide range of animals. I keep thinking of more animals I can try.
