I was drawn to Tim's tag because of the soft hues of blue and then the tissue paper background and the overall serene effect of the tag.
My tag background started with tissue tape to emulate Tim's tissue paper background. I added a touch of white acrylic paint and light blue acrylic paint over the tissue tape. I added a touch of stamped text. I stamped flourishes around the edges.
The angel was stamped on another piece of cardstock and colored with my watercolor pencils and waterbrush. I covered the image with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
I cut my house, embossed with an embossing folder and added a touch of blue and silver around the edges.

ReplyDeleteSuzz...your tag is so lovely. What a beautiful shabby chic vintage feeling this has! I love the stamped and white washed text background. The Artful Dwellings house behind your sweet colorized angel is pretty. LOVE the angel! The tinsel and baubles are the perfect embellishment for this tag! Love it! <3 Candy
