Hello Creative Friends..
It's my turn to share some That's Crafty! creativity with today's
creation focusing on the Pantone colour of the 2018 *Ultra Violet*
Here's today's how to do's in words and pictures..
Using one of my MDF Tester Tags (I often use these as a palette to
mix paints and paste) I scratched back some of the surface using a fork.
Amelie was stamped then coloured in pencil using similar colours within the tag.
A left over found flower from Lynnes Affirmations was darkened with a purple brush pen.
Using Sari Yarn I spiralled patterns to create interesting shapes
all glued down using 3D Gel Medium and embellished with flat back gems.
Stippling white paint through the Cobble Stones Dinky Stencil
helps break up some of those shades of purple.
With Amelie glued in place the flower acts as a hair
accessory adorned with a large lilac pearl.
My Tag Creation is complete.
I've never been fond of the colour purple but it seems to be everywhere
at the moment and I must admit Donna's Fabulous Amelie looks fab in any colour.
Thank you for sharing your time
I look forward to sharing more of mine with you all
the same time next week.
Take care everyone
Creative Hugs
Tracey xx

DeleteI'm a big fan of purple Tracey and I really love this absolutely gorgeous tag. Amelie looks amazing with her purple hair and the twists of sari yarn are inspired. Gorgeous background too.

I'm not too sure what is is with purple, I think it reminds me of my college days hee hee.. but I think it refreshes the eye to work with colours we at times tend to avoid. Happy you like her Fliss and Thank you very much for the compliments xx
DeleteThank you very much Melina xx

DeleteExceptional creation Tracey but of course I have to be impartial don’t I but oh my word what you create with those girl stamps are just awesome. Funnily enough it took me ages to love purple too as that was my secondary school uniform colour so I was sick of it!

ReplyDeleteJackie xx
Thank you Jackie, i'm trying really hard with purple at the moment xx
DeleteI am definitely with you on the purple thing, but I think it is 'the' colour for this year, so you are very much 'with it' with this beautiful tag. Amelie is gorgeous with her purple hair and I love how you used the sari ribbon, it gives such lovely texture to her dress! Fabulous background too! xx
ReplyDeleteI believe it is too Anne, maybe by the end of the year I will like it a little more hee hee.. Glad you love her Thank you xx
DeleteI'm especially loving the texture on the clothing. The sari yarn and the gems made it really pop. And I love that!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Lynda, isn't Sari Yarn one of the most magical things to work with?? Thank you so much for visiting x
