Hello creative friends,

Today I am continuing with my elemental tags bringing you both Fire and Water
 using Donna Gray's latest designs *Donna's Girls from That's Crafty!*


Introducing *Fire*..

1: Paint a #10 MDF Tag in white Gesso
2: Push texture paste through that same lace stencil featured on all of my Element Tags.
3: Smear Mustard Yellow, Orange and Bright Red all over the tag. 
4: Adhere embroidery Silks in rich red and yellow to add extra texture.
5: Stamp Claire onto Ameleie paper and colour in water resistant pencil.


 6: Extended the length of the hair to fit into the aperture of the stencil.
7: Lay the stencil back over the stencilled area and dab on more paint including Gold.


8: Follow those hair lines to the edge of the tag and trace with stickles glitter glue.
9: Add gems. organza ribbon and a handmade charm for decorative effect.

 My Fire Tag is complete.


..and last but not least I introduce *Water*..

1: Paint an MDF Tag in White Gesso to prime.
2: Paint in shades of blue.
3: Push paste through that lace stencil
4: Drip diluted paint down the tag.
5: Stamp Ella and draw on a body.
6: Colour in with water resistant pencils.


7: Add beads to wire and wrap around the tag. 
8: Adhere Ella onto the tag with foam pads.
9: and finally add a sari silk plate with a handmade charm.

My Water tag is complete:


I've really enjoyed creating these element tags 
and working with Donna's Fab Four.
I hope you have enjoyed the process too.

Wishing you all a wonderful week.

    1. Thank you Dorthe, having just the heads gives the opportunity to dress them up in many ways. They remind me of the paper dolls I would play with as a child those I would also adapt their costumes xx
