This month Tim asks us to follow our muse..... I did follow Tim's design but I just went with the colours and stamps that I love rather than doing too much pondering, just following my muse......... You can see Tim's original tag HERE. As usual, I made two tags, one for me and one for my lovely friend Ali of Ali-Craft.
I won't go into a lot of detail as I mainly followed Tim's instructions, just using different colours and stamps. I used the seahorse blueprint stamp and also Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers Distress Stain for the base. I used Texture Paste with the Cargo and Bubbles stencils. I improvised and used a stamp from the Simple Sayings to create the little word tag border and added rub-ons. The stitching was done with my little craft sewing machine. I added an Idea-ology arrow to the top of the tag.
Instead of rust coloured embossing powder I chose to use Peacock Feathers Distress Glitter as it suited my image better. The word band has been painted with Peacock Feathers Distress Paint, left for a moment and then wiped off.
I coloured some vintage ribbon with Distress Stain and made a triple bow for the top.
Below is the tag I created for Ali. I had in mind the centenary of World War I when I created this tag, I think you can see the references in the tag.
Thanks for looking, I am still away but looking forward to seeing my bestie Jenny (Buttons) demonstrating at Indigo Blu headquarters on Sunday! Take care and enjoy your crafting! Hugs, Anne xx
