Hello everyone and welcome! So glad you decided to visit. Today I am showing you what I have called a Trio of Tags. The background on each of them was inspired by Tammy Tuterow's Tuesday Technique, using the Picketfence Distress Stain through a stencil. I kind of followed her tutorial but then gave it my own twist like usual....
I'm off to see some crafty friends tomorrow and I decided to make them a tag each. Here you can see them individually:
I am sorry for the terrible shadows on the photographs but by the time they were done it was pretty dark already and so I had to do them with artificial light. I could not use my flash either as it made terrible glares. I need photography lessons!!!

Love the whole trio.
what a fab trio of tags....I'm in the same boat as you Astrid, I need some photography tips for this time of year!
muy lindas!!
Hello Astrid
A trifecta of pure gorgeousness, you have established wonderful texture using the technique, taking it up a level.
Lucky, lucky friends I say, and you will bring a smile to their faces when they are received.
Smiles:)

Wauw they are beautiful.
They look wonderful - winter light notwithstanding... Gorgeous colour blending, and the chosen images work so beautifully. Fabulous ribbons too!
I try to time all my photo-taking for the morning and go outdoors (come rain or come shine, and it's usually closer to rain at the moment - but we've got a front porch and an undercover bit at the back too) to catch as much light as possible. Indoors is a nightmare... roll on Spring!

Lucky friends!!
wowzers...i love tammy and saw this tutorial..yours are gorgeous!
Have a great time with your friends and they will adore these beautiful tags, x
How could your friends not love them, Astrid? They're gorgeous! Love your work!
Oh, these are absolutely eye candy. I love the deep rich tones and the wonderful texture you have achieved. The incorporation of the vintage images is lovely too. I use an Ott light to light my subject with my camera setting on fluorescent setting/no flash. I still have trouble sometimes, but most of the time it works pretty well.
Wow Astrid your Tags rock.
So wonderful colors and stamps and the little girls are awesome.
Love them all.
Have a lovely weekend my dear friend.
xoxo
Not one, not two, but three absolutely elegant mixed media beauties here! WOW! The colors themselves drew me in. Gorgeous!!!
All of these are just amazing. So much to see on each one and all so inspiring
Love Chrissie xx
Great tags Astrid - your friends must have been delighted This time of year often has poor lighting for photos - I prefer to use scanner if project is not too 'lumpy' or use daylight bulbs for photos.....but we can still see how good they are
Traumhafte Tags, liebe Astrid.
Ich wünsche dir ein fantastisches neues Jahr in Glück und Gesundheit.
Herzlichst Sophie
These are absolutely brilliant, Astrid! Stunning design.
Have a nice weekend my friend. Hugs MARTINA
