Hello all, hope your week is going well.
I needed a thank you gift for a friend and to just make a card seemed boring, so I made a tag in a bag instead....
I love making these kind of projects, and this one was fun to do. I started with the tag (size 8 manila)
The background was created with some Fresco paints from Paper Artsy, rolled on with a brayer. I then used a Seth Apter stencil and archival in for some background texture, a Tim Holtz stencil and Ranger texture paste for the flower and then added more colour with Distress inks.
Some coloured cheese cloth and a butterfly (cut from an old G45 paper) added some more texture at the bottom.
Some more butterflies and a word from the Tim Holtz larger word stickers as further embellishments and some verdigris embossing powder melted here and there for further texture.
A little crown charm, altered with some paints on top of a ribbon, died to match the rest (with Distress Spray Stains), finishes it all off.
I made the bag from a piece of Manila card, coloured in pretty much the same way and then added some embellishments from my little box of scraps to add more interest.
A piece of corrugated card, coloured with Distress sprays and some left over paper scraps.
A scrap of Dusty Attic chip board, a little clock sticker (G 45 again), some more cheese cloth and a rusted up pen nib.
The pen nib was altered with some Distress paint and while the paint was still wet I sprinkled on some embossing powder.
Well, that's it for today, thanks for visiting and until next time....
