Hello Friends
My Guest designer project for AALL & Create this week is a Mixed Media tag using Tracy Evans' newly released Passion Flower stamp set #278 along with Tracy's Mesh stamp set #262 and Cracked Walls 2 Stencil by Olga Heldwein,
I don't have too many step out photos this time because this was not the original tag I created. I had created two simple Distress Ink backgrounds using the wrinkle free technique, this one uses Peacock Feathers in the background onto watercolour card, cut into a tag shape.
I inked up Olga's stencil (yes I know, I really need to give it a good clean) with Wilted Violet Distress Ink, Spritzed it and tapped it onto the tag at the top and bottom. I love the way the bricks don't look too defined, probably because of the texture of the watercolour card.
I stamped the Passion Flowers onto the card and then again onto a separate piece of watercolour card. The flowers are coloured with Wilted Violet Distress Ink with a touch of Picked Raspberry onto the stamens. The leaves are coloured with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink, with a touch of Wilted Violet to add contrast.
I attached the watercolour card to a Tim Holtz chipboard tag, trimmed it and painted the edges and the tag holder with purple paint. I stamped the mesh stamp randomly in Peacock Feathers Distress Ink across the tag.
Finally I stamped and cut the sentiment from some of the left over card, edged the sentiments with Wilted Violet Distress Ink before attaching.
I did finished the second tag and here it is, just in case you wondered how it turned out!
The stamps and stencil I used along with worldwide stockists can be found at AALL & Create HERE.
Thanks so much for your visit, I hope to see you soon.
Hugs, Anne xx

These tags are both really beautiful, Annie! I love the softly colored and interesting backgrounds for your gorgeous flower and stem design! The sediments are perfect and I love how you add dimension by coloring the edges!! (Now if I could just remember that tip!) Hugs, Darnell xxoo
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful Anne, they look so simple and elegant but that's because of all the wonderful details and these soft, gentle colours. Have a very happy week, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty Anne - and made me smile because I've just been smooshing pretty much exactly these colours onto tags to try to get back in the swing of things. I love both of them, but there's something about the lighter-than-air ethereal quality of the first which really appeals. Tracy's delicate passion flowers look right at home.

ReplyDeleteBoth extremely pretty Anne, love how you have shared different background versions, it gives us all ideas and inspiration. How the change of colour can evoke the mood of those fantastic fussy cut flowers. You have a real steady hand. Beautiful tags like a ray of sunshine for us all.

Oooh, Anne! I love this! Can you tell I had to take a break from my marathon commenting? Ha! Ha! I love your gorgeous backgrounds and those spindly flowers and their toned greenery are just beautiful! These tags are my favorites! I've so enjoyed my visit this morning, and hope you accept my apologies for not visiting sooner. Just haven't been up for doing the rounds too much lately. Praying you are staying safe, healthy and happy! Big hugs being sent your way!
