Beside the Sea - Nautical Inspired Tag by Donna Gray
11:00Hi everyone,
It's Donna here today with a sea side themed tag for you all.....yes I know it's Winter but we can all dream ;)
What I Did:
I took a size 8 manila tag and swooshed it through some diluted Distress Oxides on my craft mat, sticking to the green, blue and purple colours.
Once I was happy with the background I dried it and put it to one side.
The next step was to stamp the fab girl and fish from Studio Magda Polakow on to a piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper and then colour the images in with a mixture of Mermaid Markers and Distress Markers.
I fussy cut them out and placed these to one side to finish off the tag background with stamps from That's Crafty! Deep Sea Diva's Marina set. The seaweed and bubbles were stamped directly on to the tag and coloured with Distress Markers and the starfish were first stamped on a piece of Gelli print paper and then fussy cut out and added to the background.
I then adhered the girl and fish on to the tag and added a sentiment from Crafty Individuals as I thought that matched the tag theme.
A finishing touch was to doodle some white bubbles and then to add a piece of twine with a cowie seashell to the tag to complete the nautical look.
