Good Morning everyone
Its not often I make a tag but I decided to join in with the first challenge over at Tag along & atc
I used these fun squirrels from aall&create and built up a little scene.
Tag size approx A6 (6x4") I die cut the largest die from cream cardstock and then the next size down from white card I'd sprayed with blue and green inks, the blue one is pearlised, keeping it more blue at the top for the sky and green at the bottom for grass. Once dry I stenciled a little detail with stormy sky distress ink and stamped some text with forest moss distress ink.
I stamped the branch direct onto the tag, stamping one side and then the opposite. I stamped the squirrels, leaves & acorns onto white card, watercoloured with inktense pencils and cut out. I then got arranging it all, adding the squirrels and acorns with pinflair glue gel. To give the squirrels some ground to stand on, I added a scrap of the inked card to the bottom of the tag with foam pads, inking all the edges with stormy sky distress ink.
I stamped the quotes from the set onto off cuts of cream card, cut out and adhered to the front.
Raiding the ribbon box I found a satin orange ribbon, gold organza and blue lace which matched the colours perfectly. I punched a hole in the top of the tag and added an eyelet and then threaded my ribbons.
I have a bottle of range matt accents - had it for over 10yrs, so trying to use it - i usually use glossy accents. Anyway this matt accents is weird as it does leave a shine once dry but its matt - difficult to explain and even more difficult to photograph😁. Anyway I added that to the acorns to finish.
