Wild Sweet Wonder A Tag by Lynne Moncrieff

 Hello

Something I enjoy is studying the PaperArtsy Eclectica EAB stamps. Alison Bomber collects the most inspirational quotes and although they should be stamped in their entirety, I find joy in zooming in on particular words or phrases.  

For this MDF tag, the words "a wild sweet wonder".

Instructions

Although I was covering the MDF tag with underpaper, I still like to prep the surface with Gesso. So that was the first step.  

From cardstock previously prepared with Walnut Ink and Pearl Inks, three of the smaller circles were stencilled from the ever useful A4 Circles Stencil.  If I have any scraps of previously stamped cardstock, I save to cut out circles.  It certainly looks as though one circle has a PaperArtsy ECF image stamped onto it.

A dried stalk of lavender, dry brushed with white Gesso.

Tucking behind the lavender, a piece of handmade paper with marks made with Pearl Ink in Silver.

One of the EAB stamps, partially inked up with Jet Black ink and stamped onto scrap painted cardstock before adhering to a scrap piece of CraftyBoard (waste from Journal Kit), slightly curving before adhering over the lavender stalk. 

To embellish the tag...

a piece of driftwood lightly dry brushed with Gesso and a rusted washer.

Thank you for your visit today.
