Dreaming with a Tag!

Good Morning!
I do hope you are enjoying the creations that me and Sue have shared with you so far this week for our 'Time for Tea' theme! Today I have a Tag to share with you that has been inspired by the colour of Tea. So lots of different shades of browns!

I have also used Distress Paints for the background on my tag and you can see the gorgeous marble effect they give which is completely different to the effect that the inks give!

To begin with you will need a #8 Manilla Tag by Ranger and some Distress Paints. Swipe the paints across the tag and spray liberally with water, tilt the tag in various directions for the pattern to spread and enhance the marbled design. Heat dry and ink the edges with Distress Ink.

Stamp a Floral Stamp of your choice in the centre of the tag in a darker colour and attach some mesh across the bottom half of the tag using a Metal Fastener / Stapler. Complete the tag by adding embellishments.

Time for Tea!

Good Morning!

This week we have the theme for Time for Tea! Quite a random theme I think you will all agree but in fact it is quite a varied one and today I am portraying the theme in my image! I have used a Pre-Coloured Die Cut Design by Lili of the Valley of two little girls having tea.

In case some of you struggle to understand how I build up my cards when I try to describe it I thought I would take some photo's as I was creating it so you could see the process properly :)

First off I trim and stick some card stock to my card blank. Then I trim some Design Paper to fit the card and create a layout using layers. I have also mounted the pre-coloured image onto the same card stock.

Next up I stamp my sentiment, this time onto a tag design from a die.

Before sticking this down I attach some ribbon across the card, sealing on the reverse of the paper using sello-tape. I then stick my image down using 3D Foam Tape onto some cheesecloth that I have placed in the centre of the layer. By placing the tape on the outer edges of the image this has allowed me to create a 'pocket' for me to slot my sentiment tag into. I have also finished the tag off with some matching ribbon.
