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*..

Wishing you all a wonderful week.
