I made this tag card for a workshop that I taught at The Art of Craft recently.
The shop has recently got in Distress Paints and we focused on mastering the ‘Marbling’ technique. My fabulous group of lovely ladies practised using different colour combination to see what they would like to use on their tag but also to experiment with how much paint and how much water they should use. They loved getting all painty.
The stamps are Graphic 45
The 25 was cut in metal sheet from the Christmas Noel die by Tim Holtz.
A snowflake charm painted with antique linen distress paint.
And the inside covered with Christmas papers and some washi tape and rub-ons added.
The Merry Christmas was from the G45 set we used.
We added a small panel on which to write a greeting .......
..... and a punched border and Crafts-Too holly die with a computed generated sentiment finished it off.
I hope you had a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by, Have a wonderful week ahead.

ReplyDeleteCan you explain the term "Deck the halls"...I see it often these days, but don't understand the meaning of it.
Enjoy this Monday!

Gorgeous Brenda - the marbling looks super (I haven't got to grips with it yet!). Those red numbers in the metal just pop.
ReplyDeleteYummy marbled colours in the background, and I love those G45 stamps. Great idea to convert the tag into a card that way up - might mean I can get over my horror of card-making like that!!
