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.

6: Colour in with water resistant pencils.
7: Add beads to wire and wrap around the tag.

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
