Hello on this wonderful Saturday.
I hope you are all well and enjoying some time is this lovely weather. It has been gorgeous here, so nice it feels like being away. I have enjoyed sitting on the deck with a good book (currently the new Dan Brown) and a nice chilled glass of something (usually water, but occasionally wine)
I made this tag just for a wee play and quite liked how it turned out.
I painted the grey tag with a coat of white acrylic paint then put the Tim Holtz swirl mask over it (and across the other 2 for playing with) and dabbed on some Tumbled Glass, Chipped Sapphire and Broken China Distress Inks. I then stamped the Tim Holtz sentiment with Chipped Sapphire and heat embossed it. I made the flowers with some circles cut from a page of K & Co Sea Glass paper that was full of blue fishes (never liked it and never thought I'd use it!)
I used a Marianne die for the butterfly and coloured it with DI and then added a little holographic embossing powder to the wings for sparkle. A couple of pearls and some ribbon and it was done.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy crafting.
Very nice Alison loving your design xx

ReplyDeleteAlison, this is beautiful. Love all the elements you used in the making, and your little flowers were superb! Good idea to use paper that you might not especially like! I have the new D.Brown book, but been saving it while I finish up a David Baldacci that has been pretty good. Love to read. TFS

ReplyDeleteAllison, email me and I'll send you something I wrote which should help with the blogger issue. I tried to reply to your comment, but it didn't work, or at least I don't think it did.
ReplyDeleteNow on to your beautiful tag. It's so very pretty and I love how you used the butterfly die. I have that one and need to pull it out and use it more often. You've created a real treasure!
