Wooden Tags


My mate Maz kindly gave me a couple of wooden tags to play with.  I don't usually use blue but I decided to use my denim and sail boat blue acrylic dabber couple with blueberry eco friendly paint.  I touched up with a bit of white for some contrast.    I wanted to try something different so I stamped the flowers with iced spruce distress ink and covered with bronze perfect pearls.  The butterfly is stamped in russet and pewter lumiere paint and the grass in olive green, they came out pretty well.

 

I initially painted the background black and then decided to add some metallics, gold, silver, pewter and brass.  I painted the clock face and hands with copper.  Added a charm, copper shavings and wire coils.

Lovely, Sam - always good to have a change, isn't it? Love the blues but also love the bottom one. I had some of those tags; the question is, did I give them away or did I keep a few for me? H'mm, shall have to look, although it may come some way down my 'to do' list, he, he x Have a great weekend x

Got to say I love the bottom one Sam the texture of the paint in the background gives it real depth :)

Blue is a strange one when it comes to crafting. You don't see much blue and I know I always find it a challenge to use. However this is fab, as is the gorgeous clock face tag.
