There's a new tag challenge started last Thursday called Tag Along, and you all know how much I love my tags. They had a theme of vintage for their first challenge.
Also PanPastelUk have a theme of spots and dots and if you look carefully you'll see I have dots as one of my many layers.
Country View Crafts have a new challenge theme today which is layers and I have lots and lots of layers on this tag. Firstly lots of colours of PA fresco paint layers, snowflake, Irish cream, nougat, French roast and mushroom. Next the circles stencilled in Frech Roast, then a whitewash of snowflake to knock them back a bit and finally a layer or script stamped in timber brown stazon.
The image and the music script is covered in a layer of ice resin and the image is framed in a photo mount coloured with French roast paint housing a piece of card cut from T!m's lace strip die. Pom-pom lace and gems added to finish the frame.
***Edited***
I wasn't happy with my first effort, as it just looked like the frame had been plonked on the tag. So I went back in with a white ink pad and stamped some script over the flourishes and the frame. Also added oxynite treasure gold to the trimmings so they didn't look so stark. Think it blends in much better now - am a happy bunny again!!!
Lovely and very feminine, just needs a touch of pink. (Nearly managed without laughing). Honestly it's gorgeous hun

ReplyDeleteyou didn't add any pink for Jax... Like the alterations, I think I agree that it's better now, too. Not that there was anything wrong with it before, in my eyes.

Love the colours on here Sam. Lovely calming colours imo! Love all the layers and would never have thought of using Ice Resin like that. I have some but haven't plucked up courage to have a go with it yet. Scares me a bit for some reason, lol!
