I have a couple of tags to show today that were fun to create while trying out new techniques. I created the first tag at a workshop while attending the evening Art Specially Event while in the Netherlands.
The background of the tag above was created using Liquitex Acrylic Inks spritzed with water. I dried the first colour before adding the second. However you can blend the colours while wet. The workshop that we sat in, was a 'go with the flow' session, which was fun as we could create our own designs. Sorry I do not know the names of the stamps that I used.
I fell in love with the acrylic inks and had to buy bunch from our local Art Shop when I returned back home. I didn't want to risk broken bottles of acrylic ink in my suitcase if I bought them while away....disaster !
This second tag above was also some experimenting but recently at home. I started with Distress Paints with water. When dry I stenciled over with Distress Ink and Design by Ryn's Japanese Anemone stencil and then embossed with clear over top. I stamped with a Penny Black script stamp (1999L Letter Background) and then added more stenciling and then embossed with gold.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day,
Shirleyx

I love both these tags Shirley and the gorgeous colour combinations. I love the way the first has the butterfly over the edge and the nice script with the white dots and then the complementary feather in the top, and I love the Japanese Anemone stencilling inked and clear embossed which stands out so prettily and the lovely script again but then those beautiful random bits of embossed gold and the gold around the edge add so much interest. x
Two gorgeous tags Shirley. I love the colours on both of them, the white paint spots look great on the first and the gold embossing on the second. Hope you're having a great week.
