The guest designer for Tag, You're It this time is Marion Vagg and here is her delightful sample
Here's the tag I was inspired to make
I took a manilla tag and used a Hero Arts stencil and some light modelling paste and covered some of it. I then gathered together some already cut die cut elements... blue vellum leaves, some green sprigs and an Altenew flower coloured with iridescent paint and fussy cut, and added them to my card. I used my computer to print the sentiment which I trimmed and added to my tag. All in all very happy with the result.
And here is the technique piece I did with some embossing paste and Pixie Powders (similar to ColorBursts) - following a video by Ingrid Blackburn I watched.
It really shimmers in real life as the Pixie Powders have a lot of mica in them. I also pulled a pattern off the watercolour on the stencil. It's much less as bright and graphic, more smooshed and abstract but will use it for something. Not sure what I will do with this one yet but it is too nice to cover up!
And finally I did some pencil colouring using Gamsol (mineral spirits) after watching a Gina K video,
I did this on some 200GSM watercolour paper but feel it would have been better on a smoother card. However, the result looked quite amazing. I splattered some black ink on the background and white embossed the sentiment onto black card. All the stamps are from an Altenew set.
I'm entering this into the challenge at City Crafter Challenge - Spring is around the corner. From the inspiration photo I took the word flowers and thought about spring flowers and also another entry into The Flower Challenge.... Anything Goes. They generously allow you to enter up to 5 times... this will be my 4th entry.
Hope your weekend was as much fun as mine... with all this crafting as well as quite a bit of socialising with friends!
