Artful Times - Challenge 1
To get the Artful Times new challenge blog off to a flying start we decided to go with a free for all theme but whatever you chose it must be created on a tag. I used various mediums to create the background, dylusion sprays, glimmer mist and distress stains. I stamped the grunge alphabet over the tag and hi-lited some of the letters with a white pen. I cut the umbrella man from chipboard and painted him with black acrylic. I used honeycomb paper to make the top of his umbrella more prominent. I stamped one of T!m's mini quotes onto a nesties panel and inked the edges in black soot distress ink. I coloured a piece of material with distress stain to make my own ribbon.
