Vintage tag...

Hi everyone!

Today I come to you with another tag...

this time, it's full of Prima/Finnabair products, amongst some others ;)

As a base, I used a page from the Prima watercolour pad, 

which I stamped and embossed (Carabelle Studio Stamp, Wow! Embossing Powder)

and a page from the Prima Paintables Watercolour Paper Pad Salvage District.

I coloured and aged both pages using Tim Holtz Distress Reinkers, 

Distress Spray Stains and Distress Inks.

I absolutely love combination of vintage brown and turquoise, 

however I wanted an extra kick and fuchsia was ideal for that.

In my stash I had some gorgeous Prima flowers which I bought long long time ago -

and I chose them as the focal point of my tag.

All who know me and my work, know very well that I like layers and dimension. 

The flowers weren't enough for me so I had to add some metal embellishment,

clay vintage decor (made from one of Prima's Silicone Moulds) and sisal to complement them better.

I knew that I would like to add some gems here and there, 

but I didn't have any in the colour I wanted, so I had to make some 

using Finnabair Pebbles, glitter and 3D gel.

As I was in a romantic mood while making my tag, I decided to add

two wooden hearts from Prima's Salvage District collection.

I finished my design with Finnabair Art Stones and Tim Holtz Idea-ology Small Talk Stickers.

I have to admit that I really enjoyed making this project and like the final result.

Hope you like it as well :)

Thank you so much for your time!

Have a great day, M. xxx

Romantic / shabby chic tag

Good morning everyone!

Today I am coming to you with another tag but this time in romantic/shabby chic style. 

As you can see it is a very easy and quick tag to make. 

The most time consuming part for me was stitching, as I did it by hand.

I am the proud owner of sewing machine, but can't get my stitches straight lol

I cut my tags and frame using Sizzix/Tim Holtz die.

Before I stitched the edges of one of the tags, I stamped it with an elegant script background stamp.

 I then made my foamiran leaves and flowers. They didn't take much time, 

because I didn't have to roll the foamiran to shape them. 

I just had to add a little bit of colour to some of my leaves using an soft oil pastel. 

Before attaching them, I put a piece of muslin cloth underneath.

To decorate my tag I used art stones, sparkly gems and metal embellishment 

that I covered with white gesso and cut in half. 

I finished it with a word sticker.

Have a great day, M. xxx
