This is my dream for the TIO fishy tag this week, set by Janet... it is very simple, but really good fun...Had to be because my back is hurt from coughing!!! A back brace is not very condusive to crafting!!!
I smooched the white tag through lines of different blue distress inks -
just for a change!!! Then dried and dipped again till I was happy with the bubbly effect... vintage photo smooched at the base, made the rocky bits. The plants were stamped in the same colours...
The dragonfly is so beautiful, with a sparkly head. I sprinkled clear ep round all the edges of the tag.
I wanted a word -
lots of people say that to me frequently, tee hee!!! - but not heavy letters, as I wanted to keep that bubbly, dreamy effect so I placed the letters across the piece, then sprayed with blue haze perfect pearl mist -
gotta love that stuff!! - the effect was just as I wanted, with a little help taking off some of the inks underneath the letters.
The fishies were stamped from a homemade stamp - from foam, backed with the redline tape, like I made the Tim Holtz die stamps a couple of weeks ago... It was fun making the ickle trio, that could be reversed in order to look different, like a shoal!! I finished off the piece with a fishy charm, aged with black and pool acrylic paint, rubbed off to leave bits in the indentations...
Well that's it for this one... hope you like it and have enjoyed your visit enough to leave me a comment or two. That would please me no end... Thanks for coming.
Love and Light
