J&C Creations - Bildmalarna Mimosa Tag!

Good Morning!
On Monday for the J&C CRATIONS BLOG I shared a card with you all using a Bildmalarna Stamp and today I am sharing a tag! I wanted to make the image the main focus so this tag is pretty straight forward to make. 
To create the tag spritz a tag with water and swipe over with 3 Distress Stains. Once dry use a snowflake stamp and the Picket Fence Stain to create a patterned background, repeat once more with Distress Ink and then blend around the edges. Fix some White ribbon and a paper doily onto the tag, placing your image on top and then embellish the tag.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
STAMPIN' FOR THE WEEKEND - SOMETHING GIRLIE

Papertake Weekly - Tie Up Your Loose Ends!

Good Morning!
Before I share today's card I wanted to share the news with you that I won last week's Cupcake Craft Challenge! Woooo I was chuffed to bits when I saw that I had won :)

I'm back with a Magnolia Card today as even though I have been making less of them recently, they are still one of my favourite stamp brands! This week's challenge at PAPERTAKE WEEKLY is to 'Tie up your loose ends' so we would like to see a Bow somewhere on your creations!

After having a sort through my Rubber Stamps and popping them up for sale on Facebook (you can also view what there is on the page above) I came across a box, yes a box, full of paper pads that I have neglected. So I decided to dig some out and use them on both yesterday's and today's cards! They are both by Papermania and I think they came out around 2010 but I'm not entirely sure!
