Today I am sharing tag number 4. This one took a long time to complete as I kept starting over and over again.... There must be about 10 layers underneath what you can see and a lot of Gesso, but hey ho, it is what it is now....
As this project is all about my inner journey, it has a travel kind of theme again. All stamps (apart from the word journey which was made with little alpha stamps) are from La Blanche. I just love their stamps.
Here are some details:
 |
| Tim Holtz Tattered Banners die |
 |
| Big flowers made by me with the help of Spellbinders Rose Creations die, little flowers by Wild Orchid crafts, leaves, fussy cut la Blanche stamps. |
 |
| Passport stamp by La Blanch, butterflies are part of the stamp, I just stamped them twice to get the 3D effect. |
 |
| Prima wood button treated with crackle glaze |
Well that's it for tag 4, thank you for visiting!
another stunner :-) love the blues, Debi x

ReplyDeleteOh my, I do love this one. Looks like all those layers worked out spectacularly
ReplyDeleteHello Astrid
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be your partner on your journey, you are creating stunners, even though your mojo is at its low ebb. Your Bg is just mouthwatering, and I bet you had a great time mixing the layers, as it relates warmth and happiness.
You have beautiful texture and gorgeous flowers/elements, the palette is very attractive to the eye.... I love it.
Smiles:)

All the layers definitely add that extra something to this tag - can't believe you've lost your mojo when you create these little beauties.
ReplyDeleteBTW Thank you for leaving me the comment about the CC blog - didn't realise there could have been a problem for some folks in seeing it.
Another stunner, Astrid. The layers give it texture and that colour is just gorgeous. I love how your collage everything, something I struggle with.

Love the layers of gesso and texture on this as they've added a different feel to this tag Astrid. And as for those flowers! At first I assumed they'd been bought but no, you've just been really clever when making them (adore the leaves:). Day 4 and another winner here Astrid. Hugs, Jenny x

They really are beautiful stamps (just ordered my first LBs - should be awaiting me on my return!)... and you've created another beauty of a tag around them. The additional butterflies on the passport are just wonderful, and the depth of the delicious blue-green colours is only enhanced by all those discarded layers underneath... so worth persevering - it's lovely!

Eine großartige Kombination von Farben Formen und Dekoration, ein richtig kleines Kunstwerk.
