We just got these neat little wooden tags in, and I really wanted to have some fun with them so I sat down and just started creating. Sometimes my best work is done with nothing in mind and no specific prep work. I wanted to create a look for the background that was a bit different, sort of ethereal. I began by spraying a little water directly onto the tag. I followed that with sprays of Aquamarine, Dark Green and Lilac Aqua color. The colours ran together
beautifully because of the water underneath but I realized after the fact that drying was going to take some time. So, I made myself a coffee, checked my e-mail, got busy and didn’t get back to my tag until the following day. It was certainly dry and I was very happy with the results.
Before I went ahead with the front though, I traced my tag onto a pretty square of paper from the “Passion” paper pad, cut it out and glued it onto the back of the tag. Of course, I used Aleene’s Quick Dry Tacky Glue and painted it on to the back of the tag. I then used my sponge wedge which I had dressed with brown pigment ink and went around all of the edges of the tag.
from my “Passion” scrapbook pad and tore a narrow strip of it off as well. I let my tearing meander a but to add interest. Before gluing it on top of the print, I used my sponge wedge again. I find that the sponge wedge holds colour and I don’t have to constantly refresh it. This really adds an aged look which I love. Of course, like with everything else that’s a personal choice. So, I sat back to look at what I was creating and felt like it was missing something. Glitter of course, because in my family, I am the “glitter queen” I used a layer of Stickles Glitter Glue which I painted on wherever I could see the background. I let the glitter glue dry. I then searched out an appropriate sentiment from my Stamperia paper pad (Be passionate), cut it out and glued it across the bottom of the tag.
