This challenge was an opportunity to dive into all my stamps with letters, words and numbers. But the most difficult was to make a choice !
After having cut my painted cardboard at the size of the card, I decided to stamp :

 Journaling Words 3 
 Tick Tock A5 and Time and Keys
 Numerical plate size A5
Calligraphic Mat 13 
Winged Wheel

I used my brayer & Claudine Hellmuth's Studio Paints (classic teal, modern red & dash of yellow) to add bands of colour across white card. Added some strips of tissue tape (Elements), a painted, stamped (Katy Fox Numerical Plate) die-cut heart, then stamped 'Happy Birthday' (Grungy Greetings 1) & hearts (Donna's Mother & Daughter). I used a lid & modern red paint to stamp the circles.

I created a jumbo tag using all the stamps from the Family Values Collage stamp set.  

There are lots of Distress Inks and Distress Stains in the background, and all the stamping is done with Archival Potting Soil.  I cut hearts stamped with the two smaller stamps to create some of the embellishments, and the large stamp forms the heart of the tag.  

I added plenty of Idea-ology Findings to echo the words and themes of the collage image, using Distress Paints to alter some of them, and some dyed seam-binding to finish it off.

We hope you will join in this month's challenge and look forward to seeing you creations. Don't forget to add a comment when you have posted your entry.

Have a very creative month
