On the run up to each Christmas, I usually take part in Karen Telfer's Christmas Tag challenge. Because we were living in the caravan and I didn't have my craft supplies, I wasn't able to take part in 2024. Now my craft room is set up, I thought I had better get cracking on the tags. For 2024, Karen was doing 12 tags rather than 24 as she had a busy work schedule.
Here's my Day 2 tag (this is the link to Karen's Day 2 tutorial).
I used an embossing folder that came free with Creative Stamping, Special Ediion 1 magazine for the texture on this tag. I do know that it was quite agressive on the water colour paper and in a couple of places, totally cut through the paper, which I think I have been able to disguise.
I used Cosmic Shimmer Iridescent Shimmering Watarcolour paints for this tag, opting for a turquoise and dark/blue almost purple shades.
Once dry, I then applied Cosmic Shimmer "Old Gold" Gilding Wax over the raised areas of the surface. I added a Creative Expressions word sticker then added "Copper Pearl" Liquid Pearl dots where the berries would be.
These are brilliant tags you are making Sam, please add the links in the group as Karen and I have been chatting and I can't find the ones I had in the old group xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie. Will do x
DeleteI love the pretty embossed leaves and added copper liquid pearl berries Sam, and the turquoise and bluey purple tones with a bit of gold wax looks suitably blingy for a Christmas tag, and the white on black word sticker finishes it beautifully. x
ReplyDeleteThanks very much x
