Hello Creative Friends
Todays That's Crafty! blog post is a little different than usual
no step by step picture account YAY!! I here you cry.
Due to me working on four projects at the same time I was lost in thought
and forgot to take process pics along the way until it was time to add the final details.

First let me introduce my *Earth* Tag
.. how it came to be..
1: Paint an MDF Tag in white Gesso and cover with Lime Multi Surface Paint.
2: Push Texture Paste through the Lace Border stencil.
3: Dab Texture Sand Paste inside the inner circle.
4: Paint a wash of Mustard Yellow around the tag, adding gold to highlight.
5: Add single threads of stranded cotton to create interest.
5: Stamp Cara onto watercolour paper (I use Ameleie from Pink Pig) and colour
with a mixture of soluble and water resistant pencils.
6: Create sleeves using rice paper, stamped, embossed and glued on using matte medium.
7: Layer up the image adding a dark wash around her to raise her from the background.
8: Add flat back pearls and gems for that final detail.
My *Earth* Tag is complete..
Now may I introduce you to my *Air* Tag
.. how it came to be..
1: Paint an MDF Tag in white Gesso and cover with a mix of white and black paint.
2: Push Texture Paste through the Lace Border stencil.
3: Dab Texture Sand Paste randomly around the tag.
4: Paint a wash of Silver Multi Surface Paint around the raised areas.
5: Add single threads of stranded cotton to create interest.
5: Stamp Amelie onto cartridge card and colour with water resistant pencils.
6: Create a torso for the head and stamp and emboss using stamps from the Claire set.
