Hello!
As there are five Fridays in July, it is time for another Tag Friday over at A Vintage Journey!
I do not do monochromatic very often but I had this beautiful seahorse left over from
another project so he was my starting point. I used lots of other Tim Holtz items
to make the tag, you can see what my teamies have made here.
I used Tim's Stripes Stencil and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink to create my background.
The seahorse was coloured with Salty Ocean Distress Stain and given a good coat of
Clear Rock Candy Distress Paint.
The leaves were cut and painted with Clear Rock Candy Distress Paint. I added some burlap, painted with Picket Fence Distress Paint and finished off with a word band and
some dyed seam binding.
As always, thanks for looking! Hope to see you soon.
Hugs, Anne xx

ReplyDeleteSuper! Anne. Gorgeous colours a dazzling blue seahorse and the crisp clean white foliage just make me think of the water and oceans. I love water - i find it very therapeutic so thank you for satisfying my inner calm today .

ReplyDeleteFabulous Anne - everyone is monoprinting! yours is sensational - the background is a gem xx
ReplyDeleteBeautifully created Anne - have you ever tried keeping a little aquarium with a sea horse in it. I guess it would be a salt water aquarium and a little harder to take care of. Just think, you could raise your very own seahorse family!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful accents of the sea blue, (love the rock candy on this blue seahorse..the scales look quite realistic too). It's a very CAS design, which I think is just gorgeous,and the swirls of the white branch of leaves is the perfect compliment to this nifty blue fella. Glad you got to meet & enjoy Our Darnell. I know she's having a fabulous time. Happy wkend, TFS & Hugs too.
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous tag Anne, love the colour and the texture. The background is perfect. Happy crafting, Angela x
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful dear Anne, you sure do make the most stunning Seahorses. Love the way his tail (?correct term?) curls around the seaweed tendril. Your chosen background and word band are the perfect finishing touches. Have a lovely weekend. Nicola x
ReplyDeleteOoh the background is perfect for the beautiful seahorse. Love the way the tail is hooked round the leaves, so cute! xxx
ReplyDeleteLove your monochromatic seahorse Anne, he looks right at home in his lovely watery background The clear rock candy gives a gorgeous finishing touch to your seahorse and seaweed. Love the wording of your word band too. Hugs Lottie xx
ReplyDeleteAnne, your tag is beautiful in all of its simplicity!
ReplyDeleteI think you talked me into that Seahorse die! heehee xx
This just tickled me pink, or should I say blue? What a fantabulous tag and the seahorse with the added crackle looks scrumptiously scrumptious. That striped background is amazing! I totally enjoy your sea theme and I can feel the joy you have while creating em. Wowzers! Hugz to you muffin! ~Niki
ReplyDeleteAnne, your seahorse is so darn beautiful and so realistic with that crackle finish. He sits on a gorgeous background and is adorned with the prettiest shabby styled embellishments! See, you do shabby so very well! Big hugs!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous Anne! I just love your seaside related projects, you always leave me craving a walk to the lake with the serene scenes and refreshing colours you use. Love the crackle on your elements, and that background is so amazing! Such a great little detail, how you wrapped the seahorse tail around the foliage stem. Beautiful tag!! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteI always love it when you get the seahorse out to play, and this crackly fellow is no exception. The background is simply gorgeous, and I love how you've mounted the QuoteBand on the hessian - delightful.
