This is my take on Tim's October tag for 2014. However...it is not a tag! For two reasons:
1) We are now at the end of Spring! So fall leaves are not appropriate, but bright colours and spring insects are what are happening in my half of the world.
2) I don't have the leaf die and embossing folder, but I do have this delicious dragonfly! However, he does not fit on a tag, not even remotely...I know Tim trimmed his leaf, but I would have lost too much of the wings to make this a tag. So it is now a canvas!
Here is a size 10 tag with my distress paint embossed as per Tim's instructions. Seemed a pity to hide all this yummy marbled paint, so I die cut a smaller dragonfly out of the extra bits.
I have sticky embossing powder, but I did not have silver foil, only gold so I opted to use the new Distress stain spray in brushed pewter.
The leaves are off a cheap set of ear rings and I rubbed some blue distress on them to tone down their brightness.
A close up of the dragonfly so you can see the silver splatters.
I knew you (as a Southern Hemisphere gal) would take this in a different direction and oh boy did you do that!!! I LOVE this version, so beautifully designed and so appropriate. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteYou rocked it! Just shouts Spring. The dragon fly is just amazing. Clever re-purposing of the earrings.

I think it must be a crafter's trait to end up crafting in 6 inches square!
ReplyDeleteYour tag is stunning, I love the beautiful colours you chose and I just adore that gorgeous dragonfly. This really is a fabulous take on Tim's tag and so appropriate for the weather in your part of the world. Stunning work!! Anne xx
