It all started with a size 10 tag that I covered with some of my own made background papers. As I did these as part of an online course, I can't really reveal how I did it. but if you are interested you can find out more about the course here.
She's not really a witch of course, I just love her pointy hat. I coloured her with Inktense Pencils.
Next I gathered some embellishments, left over from previous projects and then all I had to do was put it all together.
Below a few close ups:
I adhered everything with foam tape and glue dots for some more depth and dimension.
Shadows (drawn with a Stabilo All pencil) also help to make the focal image pop a bit more.
I twisted some rusty wire around the rusted heart. It's a bit large for the tag but I tried a smaller one and that looked even worse, so in the end I stuck with the big one. I do like how the wire stamp (by Gaby Polacco), kind of links to the wire on the heart....
Well, that's it for today, thanks for your visit and make sure to check out the amazing tags my teamies have created, - plenty of inspiration there! All you need to do is clICk HERE

I so love this tag Astrid!! Super cute and quirky and, as always, a brilliant mix of colours and fabulous textures!! Awesome!! xx
So wonderful Astrid, I know it is not what she is meant to be, but to me she looks like a little pixie, or Danish nisse :-) with her red pointy hat. The extra piece is gorgeous with the red accents matching her, and the flowers, and the different levels on your tag ,I love too. Yes hope for a world, without barbed wire, maybe one day !!!!!!! Xoxo
Way cool tag!!! Love the bright colors contrast with the neutrals.
Love it ! Astrid . Wonderful tag and top layer painted papers and I love this collection of girl stamps by Teesha (I have a few in my stash that I really should 'air' more often ) so for me she's a perfect choice of stamp to adorn your tag as are hearts and twisty wires .

Wonderful tag Astrid, those background papers are gorgeous and love how the wire twisted on the heart ties in with the stamped barbed wire. Your little gal is perfect, love that pointy hat too! Thanks for sharing it, Deb xo
