Tuesday Tutorial - Once Upon a Springtime Tags with Leanne

Hi everyone and welcome to another Tutorial Tuesday. Today Leanne shows us how to make these lovely gift tags using Graphic 45's Once Upon a Springtime stamps.

The Once Upon a Springtime collection features beautiful  fairies and fairy tale images. This is Number 3 of the stamp set.......

It's a good idea to have a sketchbook or journal to use for practice and ideas. Here are some of Leanne's 'play' papers........

When stamping images that are larger than your tag, use an extra piece of card to mask off the edge of the image.......

Stamp your images onto tags or cards........

Leanne used watercolour pencils to colour the images. The colours are just perfect for the fairytale characters. Co-ordinating twine finishes off the tags beautifully....

Aren't they just lovely?

A big thank you to Leanne sharing her Springtime ideas.

Easter Cards with Leanne - G45 #BringBackSweetSentiments

Hi everyone!

I've created a new hashtag.....lol. It's #BringBackSweetSentiments and I'm linking it to Graphic 45 as often as I can. Why? Well, if you have any of this collection in your Stash....or if you USED TO have some and...oh my goodness - USED IT!!!!!  (lol again) then you'll know why.

If you haven't seen this gorgeous collection that (in my opinion) just didn't stay around long enough, well just check out these gorgeous Easter cards from our Guest Designer Leanne.........

Aren't they just gorgeous? I so so wish it would come back!

Thank you Leanne!
