It's a Tag Thing by Debs Wainwright
00:00
Hello
everyone, Debs here with another Thursday project! This week I have a tag to
share. I've been playing with die cuts and thought I'd use some on the tag.
Here what I did
Using stencils with clear crackle paste I coated the tag, once completely dry I
painted it with metallic paint in blues greens, gold and copper. I blended the
colours so there were no stark edges.
While
the tag was drying I found some of my die cuts (sorry cannot remember whose)
and decided to use them as frames. I used a stencil and the paste again
randomly over the frames to create texture and one dry painted two coats of
paper rust.
I found
some vintage photos to go in the frame, but chose to leave some blank. I was
inspired by the room we had for our wedding, which was dark brown walls with
empty guilt frames arranged artistically.
On one
frame I added some lace and flower, I repeated the flower at the top for
balance.
I
didn't want to add words as I like to imagine who the people are, what's the
connection, and why are there some missing. Of course you know I put empty
frames but shhhhh, not everyone has to know.
Here's what I used
Prima Finnabair Art Alchemy Acrylic Paints in Gold Rush, Steampunk Copper, Emerald
Green, Deep Waters, Pink Blush
Various
Die Cuts
Take care everyone and I'll see you next week
