It's a Tag Thing by Debs Wainwright

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.
