I made this tag using my three favorite colors together...blue,green & brown.
I stamped a tree, music score and script lettering on the background. I also used Distress Inks blended on the tag, then put a coat of Clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint . The fleur de lis was stamped, embossed and fussy cut. I also put actual postage stamps on the tag as well as a clay tile I painted and stamped. The Emerson quote is on the backside.
Your colours as always as perfect! The quote is a favorite. It is always a pleasure to see what you are doing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and that quote always hit home with my as well. I also have some rock candy crackle I need to get out and play with. Thanks for the inspiration.

LOVE your stuff! I collected stamps in my youth and have tons and tons of them. I recently sorted through them all and have a box of them I'm donating to my crafting supplies to do just what you've done here. I've already made one tag with a set of four florals. Just haven't gotten around to posting on my ATC and tag progress. I really need to get on the other side of September and beyond all the stress of a very difficult new job at the schools where I work. I'm looking so forward to a cozy winter where I can enjoy crafting again for just the fun of it!
ReplyDeleteJoy!

A very special quote! I think that I'll borrow it for my gardening e-newsletter.
ReplyDeleteLove your tag! Very creative, with colors and textures that are very pleasing. I like the idea of stamping a pattern. I think that i will try that with my watercolors.
Thanks for visiting and enjoying my sunset painting. Very time-consuming, but I enjoy the challenge and results!
Hope that you're having a great weekend!
