'Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice' was primarily made for Lindas Compendium of Curiosities (Studio L3) - Rusted Grunge and then saw Jennie (The Artistic Stamper) was doing Wings, so wow two for the price of one...........
I used an old Postcard for this tag and stamped a Lace Background and then dragged Betsy kicking and screaming onto it, she was not happy having rusty wings.......So we did a deal and I told her she could bring her dog along, anything to shut her up.......
Now for the truth.........yep have to own up......not got the required colour for the rust, only black and pale blue. So had to improvise and no I didn't use Gravy Granules, although tempted......lol
For all the instructions on how to do it correctly go to Page 45 of the Compendium of Curiosities, then upload yours so we can all see. There are some fab entries again this time and also Lindas' wonderful tag.
Once I have uploaded to the challenge sites I must get dressed as overslept this morning and still in PJs, but will be back later in the day to check out all your wonderful creations. Thank you again for all your wonderful support and kindness and have a happy day whatever you are doing. Annette x

Lovely tag Netty, in spite of your mishaps. Coffee granules smell better than the gravy ones, especially when mixed with embossing powder!
Ну просто очень-очень красиво!
I see alot of us didn't have the right colors for this technique, but yours looks great as well! And Betsy is behaving!
Well right colours or not this is such a pretty tag Nettie. love it.xx
Gorgeous grunge Netty! Love how you grounded your images with the string!

First of all, Big, Huge Congrats on the GC guest Ginger! So deserved!!! The best part of a challenge is to make a totally awesome piece of art without the exact elements and that you did accomplish. Your rusty grunge tag is just lovely and perfect!

Don't worry about that Betsy ... she's a brat. ha ha. :)
I love your tag, and am really intrigued by the lace background ... is that an actual stamp or did you dip lace in ink?
It's beautiful!
lovin' the lovely lace background and the little dog is a lovely touch
hugs
No idea what your substitution was (Salt maybe?) Works brill no wonder she is unhappy what self respecting little fairy wants rusty wings LOL XOXO zoe
Hi Annette, another giggle, thank you , Love visiting you:0)
Great tag, super little girl with a lovely background :0) xxx
The lace background is actually a Fimo texture plate but it inks up very well. And no I didn't use salt..........only distress embossing powder but found a way round it. All part of the adventure...lol Hugs Annette x
Gorgeous tag sweetie in fabby colours your work is always so eye catching gorgeous hugs pops x xx

Kevin xx
She's lovely and the background is great. I am curious what you used for the rust though as it looks just fine.
Gorgeous tag Nettie, beautiful colours.
Wonderful tag and your wings look terrific!
The rusty wings on the reluctant Betsy are fab. Now I'm wondering what you did to get the right color, which you did, if you didn't use the gravy granules. Enjoyed your post very much.
I can't imagine why Betsy was reluctant to be part of such a fabulous tag ?
Wish I had my hands on Holtz's book so that I understand what each challenge is about and can play along.
gorgeous tag nessy.the image is so beautiful and i love the vibrant colour :D
xx coops xx
Great tag. Fab images and background.
Marilyn

Netty, it's lovely! I don't have vintage photo embossing powder either but as you've found there's always ways to get round these things. And I bet it smells great LOL Happy New crafting year!

This is such an adorable tag Netty. Lynne M x
Annette, she is perfect, even if you had to drag her kicking and screaming it was well worth the effort! I love the stamp and the little dog looks so perfect. ~Diane
Love those twofers, your colors are great. For somebody who doesn't have the so called correct supplies, you really rock these challenges.
Somehow I missed your entry this week-glad I went back to look!! And glad you brought along the Pooch!!!
Netty, this charming, sweet tag completely made my day! Those images are beyhond adorable, and Betsy's rusted grunge wings are perfect (even if she had to be dragged into posing with them!). ;-)
The colors you used look great, and isn't is cool how this technique works so beautifully no matter what shades you have on hand?
As always, you've done a beautiful job, and it's a delight to visit your blog!
This is beautiful Netty.
Gorgeous tag Netty thanks for playing at The Artistic Stamper this month :)...also...
It was such fun playing along with you at Something Completely Different and then being on the DT was the icing on the cake. Will see you in blog land to catch up on your lovely creations.
Thanks for all the fabulous comments :)
