This one is very different from number one and number two.
It started out looking like this. The background was done with the help of a gelli plate, two colours of acrylic paint (Decoart English Iron Oxide and Golden Hansa Yellow Hue) and a stencil.
Next came some background stamping, using Orange Blossom and Sepia Archival inks.
A couple of little embellishments and some Tim Holtz word stickers finish it all off.
Well, that's it for today, short and sweet.... I am having fun with these little wooden tags, even though I am not quite sure how I am going to use them. That's why there is no ribbon or twine at the top yet. I have all sorts of ideas floating in my head as to what I'll do with them, but more about that at some other point. Meanwhile, thanks for your visit today, your kind comments always warm my heart.

Yet another gorgeous tag here Astrid. I like the wonderful burned fall colors a lot on this one, and also the words goes soo perfect with the clocks and theme here. It´s just beautiful work here as usual.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week-end ahead now everyone, it seems it´s going to be a great one this week.
Another terrific tag with beautiful rich colours. It will be an amazing collection for sure and worthy of something special to show them all together

Awesome tag!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous tag in the Autumnal tones. Especially like the way the flowers flow seamlessly into the background. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful warm glow there is to this, Astrid. Autumn is definitely on its way! I adore the background stamping in Sepia and Orange Blossom against that beautiful print, and the whole tag has an organic feel about it - as though it evolved naturally with great ease. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I'm not offended - I'm really interested to hear your take on the indoor/outdoor difference. I've lots more weeks here to get used to it, and who knows, I might even end up agreeing with you...

Oh, and I added the gel medium and gesso to the stash when I got here, as well as a few paints. Got in a tizzy when I read just before setting off that paints weren't allowed on United Airlines, even in hold luggage. I really think they mean oil and industrial paints, not acrylics, but I didn't want to risk it, so all my carefully packed supplies came out again and I left the paints behind, but then decided I couldn't live without some. There's a Blicks nearby (much closer than Michaels!)...
