I have a large tag to share with you today:
Vibez Egg Noggin, Spritz Sapphire, Coloringz Chocolate browny, and finally Inklingz Miner Miner, a wonderful shimmering gold paint.
I started with adding different texture pastes and extra thick gesso through various stencils.
Next colour was added with the help of my sprays and paint until I was happy with the result.
I love how the sprays cling to all the different textures with different subtle effect. Some background stamping, a die cut sentiment and little fussy-cut butterfly finish it all off.
Here are some close ups still:
Adding a little more depth of colour, dipping a paint brush into the spray bottle adds some shadow.
The word was cut from scrapbook paper and adhered with foam dots. Again shadows added with a paintbrush.
Love how the sprays even adhere to wood, yet are translucent enough to let the printed numbers come through.
The ribbon at the top was seam binding coloured with the same sprays and then crinkled while still wet.
Well that's it, - hope you like my tag and happy crafting!!

Beautiful tag, Astrid, filled with that texture and color that I have come to know as your trademark. Love it!
Magical! I love how the subtle, shady blue browns open up to the sunshine on the right hand side of the tag. Wonderful embellishing, as well as all your usual gorgeous texture and shimmer.
