Craft Barn "Alpha/Dictionary" Challenge

The next letter for the Craft Barn challenge is "L". It took me some time to find a word for this, but in the end I went for "Label".

For the background I used a brayer with a Big and Juicy ink pad. Added some texture with my new Indigo Blu texture stamps. Then I stamped, cut out and inked labels from a Lili of the Valley stamp set and attached them on the background with some brads. Finally I added the word definition and fixed it with a label frame. 
 
Thanks for looking :)

The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge

Phew, I've just made it for the current challenge at the Craft Barn. The challenge is to use the words BETTER and/or PATIENCE in a quote or lyric.
I used the word BETTER and the quote is: It's better to live one day as a lion than a thousand years as a lamb. 
The quote inspired Zack de la Rocha, the vocalist of Rage Against the Machine and Jon Theodore, former drummer of The Mars Volta to name their band "One day as a lion"
Please check them out on You tube here.

  For this tag I added Memento ink directly to the background and sprinkled some gold Perfect Pearls over it. I've added some patterned paper to it and stamped the images on the tag. The stamps are from Viva Decor.
Looking forward to the new prompts tomorrow.
Thanks for looking :)

Less Is More: One Layer
 
This card is for the new Less is More Challenge - Week 171.
The Challenge this week is a One Layer "Thank You" card.
  I've used Memento inks (Rose Bud and Black) for this card. 
The sentiment is from Creative Expressions. I don't know where the flower stamp is from. It came in a grab bag, that I bought years ago. 

 





This is how the card looked first, however it just didn't feel right.

So I decided to add a border with the same ink (Rose Bud) as the flowers. 
For me this was the finishing touch that the card needed. 
Thanks for looking :)
