Renewal A Collection of Tags by Lynne Moncrieff
11:00 Hello
When I completed this trio of tags all I could see, through my eyes, how bright they appeared for something at my hands but I was just pulled towards adding a dash of colour in the form of That's Crafty! Sprays which makes the stamped focals from Nature's Gatherings stamp sets, pop all the more.

Instructions
This started with walnut ink, staining tags and cardstock.
To this, the Flat Matte Sprays were added before
adhering the shipping tags to MDF Tags
with a larger MDF tag selected and covering with piece torn from the prepared cardstock.
Onto the remainder of the walnut ink stained cardstock, stamping a variety of Nature's Gatherings stamps, some of which I ultimately did not use on any of the tags.
After fussing cutting the images, taking to the sewing machine to stitch to the tags along with pieces of walnut ink stained teabag paper (coated with Liquid Acrylic Wax), muslin, etc.
When staining muslin or teabag paper with the walnut ink, staining a reasonable amount to have to hand.

The smaller tags
Pearl Inks and White Multi-Surface Paint were splattered onto all the tags.
The final tag
The A4 Circles Stencil once again was in use, for the stencilled and cut out circles.
Thank you for your visit.

These pieces are recognizable in composition but I've noticed more color lately. You do color beautifully. Masterfully.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for taking the time to comment.
ReplyDeleteI must say that when I dip into colour, it is slightly outwith my comfort zone but if it comes calling then there is surely a need for it :)
