Good afternoon. Well today I am showing my first 'Inspirational' wooden tag. I saw these tags when I was in Art From the Heart in Harrogate, I liked the size of them and the smoothness of the wood appealed to my sense of touch. I gave the wooden shape an undercoat of white acrylic paint and then once it was dry I used lilac, green and orange paint to cover in patches. I then stamped a background using grey and black memento using the feather/leaf stamp that came with the Lindsay Mason stamp set I have used. I stamped and coloured the winged girl, coloured her with copics and cut her out and stuck her with Glue n'seal to the tag. I added a border of Tim Holtz sticky tape and a little metal butterfly charm. The sentiment comes from another Lindsay Mason set called Creative Thoughts. I am quite pleased with the finished result and even more pleased when I showed the finished article to Kevin as he asked me where I had bought it :)
From this..... .....to this
Hiya Dawn
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling a bit better this week.
Looks like you are still crafting ok, this Wood Tag is stunning. I love the colours, the image and the stamping you have done, it's lovely.
I did not see these over at Dy's, must have missed them.
I love her shop, and yours at Embssey Mills, its lovely. Last time I called i got some gorgeous papers.
I saw just a few months ago the class there which had a tag book, I was desperate to come through, but had to work at the last minute. Hope it will be repeated.
