When I saw Sues tags which you can go and see here, I just fell in love with them and knew I needed to have a play. So out came my gelli plate prints, cut to size and mounted onto a size #10 black tag.
Out came the sewing machine and I whizzed around the edges.
I simply used black media gesso to stipple through three different stencils from the Andy Skinner range and I quite liked the look of it so didn't do anything more to it.
Again I stippled through a couple of stencils with black gesso. The main is the cathedral of love from crafters workshop, which is actually an arch, but I saw two people stood together, so using more gelli print papers I made them into people.
Using a sharpie, I outlined everything in white.
And more Andy Skinner stencils, but this time I used pan pastels through them. I sealed them with Americana matte varnish spray.
