First I would like to wish all those who are suffering with the awful bugs that are around a speedy recovery. The coughs and congestion certainly do seem to last a long time.
I'm still catching up with visits after a bad start to the year. We've had problems with the internet which seem to have finally been sorted out plus a catalogue of minor problems. The freezer packing up last week being the latest.
For this card I used a snippet of white card which I cut into a tag shape. I decorated it with blended oxide inks and some stencilling and spritzing then added pieces of washi tape just because I've got loads and seldom use it.
The image is a Visible Images stamp which I heat embossed then added colour to the soles with a Promarker pen and white gel pen for the laces.
I stamped some splodges onto the card with grey ink and snipped off the top corner of the card.
I'm taking my card over to

Fabulous background Barb, looks like you had fun creating it! I think this card has real impact - love the Visible Image sneakers and jeans stamp and the way you have incorporated the colours into the image.

Really great card Barb! Perfect for a chap - they're always so hard to find something just right for and you cracked it here!
Been out to have something on my car sorted out today and there was another customer sneezing all over the place. Yuk! One day I'll end up wandering around like a Japanese worker with a mask on!

Brilliant card Barb....great image...hope all your problems are sorted now....Joolsx
This is fabulous. I hope things improve for you x
This is fabulous Barb and I love the pretty colours of oxide inks and the brick and dots stencilling together with the washi tape and black twine are great as a background to the VI image, and a really modern masculine image, and I love the way you have made it look like a giant tag too. Glad that your internet problems have been fixed, and then to have your freezer break down, so frustrating for you! x
Hello, Barb! Your tag is so beautiful! I love the background! Just popping in to thank you for the warm welcome back to my blog! I am doing things differently now and won't be able to visit much but wanted to say hello! Enjoy your evening!
wow - I love the dimension you've achieved using this stamp - it's great.
There is always something isn't there? I think right that's everything sorted now and then something else happens! Hope you're sorted with the freezer.
OH I'm sorry you had a bad start and internet issues - that has happened to me, too! But here you are and we are happy to see you! This card is so groovy! I love the classic and elegant look to it! Inky hugs! xx
