Yet another Wednesday rolls round and finds our little desks exposed to sight... thanks
Julia for this continued opportunity to share ideas and thoughts with so many others... This week, I am still reeling in the throes of that ickle bug which started off last week, making me cough and sick etc... Still, I have had some antibiotics today, and hope to improve from now on... The stuff on these pictures is for the tag I have made for
TIO and
Grungy Monday... Writing /Postage for TIO, and a Tim Holtz technique for GM...
This technique entails the use of distress inks - oh how horrible!!!! and unusual!!! - and blocking as Tim shows us
here... I used a bright selection on my background, then layered some lovely stamps from the selection above. This is a favourite way of working for me... just stamping and layering... gudd stuff!!
So this is what I made. A layered tag with some extra additions... a metal tag and an unusual wired bead...
Some coloured TH rose trim and pen nibs add little touches
and a postcard, finished in the same blocked colours... I love this stamp because it can look grungy or vintage, depending upon how you finish it...
So there it is... one tag, two challenges. I wish I had felt well enough to enjoy making it!!! But it will do and my teamies on TIO have made some fabulous art to tempt you, so why not drop in and have a look... you might be tempted to dream with us...
Thanks for looking and leaving your lovely comments - I really appreciate them all...
Love and light
Frankie

I think I need to follow your link - your tags look so yummy that I want to know more about this technique. I especially like the colors that you chose.
Frankie, what a gorgeous tag! I sure hope you feel better soon.
What a beautiful tag!
That’s not a look that I’ve ever managed to achieve myself despite trying but you’ve created a little masterpiece there.
Happy WOYWW!

Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly, Frankie. Hope it all clears up very soon so that you can enjoy your art again.
Your tag is amazing, you put so much detail into such a small space, it's incredible.

Sorry to hear you are unwell Frankie. Hope you are well again VERY soon. Love your work though - well done. You have inspired me to get mine done for GM now! What I do not know but I am sure I will think of something once I have ink on my fingers again!!

Great tag Frankie, love all the different elements. You put them together so well to make a fabulous whole piece. In answer to your question I use Picasa to edit my photos. Think I need to adjust the setting on my camera though.

So delicate and detailed - you really are so painstaking in what you do, and the effect is fabulous.
