It was really hard to get a photo to show the cool effect of the background with my sea-witch perching in her blend of sea-weed.
My tag is an acetate tag embossed, painted, splattered with paint, water, and alcohol inks. You name it it was applied.
I tamped the image on tissue paper and used decoupage to add her to the tag base. That made her translucent. I added highlights and a layer of paint around the edges to blend her in. I wanted texture for my sea-weed and ended up die cutting flowers, and branches from tissue paper and cardstock. I painted them to coordinate and layered them around the edges. Along the bottom is a new product from Stampendous which will be released at the end of the week and I love them. It is a pre-mixed jar of mica and glitters. I mixed in a little shabby pink embossing enamel. Tim's sand mixture was very cool and you should go see how he mixed it up.
That's all for me! Have a wonderful Thursday!
Suzz
So pretty!

ReplyDeleteThis tag is stunning! That color palette makes me drool (in a good way) and I adore your inspiration theme of a sea witch's grotto! It's so pretty that I'd like an invitation there myself! Really beautiful work.
ReplyDeletenever would have thought to use Tim's technique like this. isn't the variety just so wonderful. your sea witch lair is very cool. thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous Suzanne! I love your sparkly jeweled sand, and the lady through the blue, is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tag Suzanne! I LOVE your sea witch. I wonder if she has lost something in the sand and what it could be? Beautifully put together! Karen.x
ReplyDeleteWow, this is gorgeous. I love the colors you used along with the flowers and branches. Your see witch is beautifully displayed. Great tag for the TH challenge.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your take on Tim's July tag! Using a sea witch & making her translucent was the perfect touch as she searches for something among the colored jewels in the sand... The new mica/glitter mixture is stunning & made beautiful jewels in the sand. Awesome tag!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous interpretation Suzz!
ReplyDeleteThe background or "sea weed" as you call it, is just plain old fantastic. It is more like a "sea fairy garden" than a week. And the sand with the glitter, WOW...just so pretty. Not sure how much it uses the techniques Tim is highlighting this month but it sure is spectacular. And unique...really refreshingly unique. Thank you so much for sharing it with everyone.
