The voice of the sea

Hello

At last holiday time has arrived and the weather is cold and wet...perfect for crafting!

Today I'm sharing a tag for TAWI using moodboard colours and the prompts sea, fish and cup.  The tag also had to include collage which isn't something I usually go for, but managed some torn paper in the background.

Then I forgot to take any more photos until it was finished! I stencilled and stamped the net and bubbles onto the card. The fish, cup and shells were stamped on card and cut out. The fish and cup needed a bit of masking to make it look as if the fish is inside.

I enjoyed making this more than I thought I would with the odd combination of elements. 

Hope you are having a lovely day. Thank you for stopping by xx

Hello

Today I'm sharing a tag made for the monthly challenge with Isa. The challenge is to use some kind of see through pocket with the prompts and colours from the moodboard. 

I started by 3D embossing a tag with a wood effect embossing folder and used Distress Inks to colour it.

I stamped the vases on acetate and coloured them on the back with alcohol markers. A quick blast with the heat tool helped to set the ink. The flowers were stamped on card, fussy cut and coloured with brush markers. It was definitely tricky just gluing around the edges of the acetate.

The flowers just about poke into the tops of the vases...

...fingers crossed acetate vases count as a see through pocket!
