Hi Everyone and a warm welcome to my new followers. Today
over at A Vintage Journey is Tag Friday, where some of us on the Design Team
share a tag, so do pop over HERE to see all the fab creations.
I am sharing with you all today my tag for Tim's tags of
2015. I kept more or less to what Tim explained in the tutorial improvising on
products I didn't have.
I used DCWV Gauze Paper for my background. My heart
stencil had a mix of Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio added to it with a touch
of Decoart Titan Buff to soften the colours slightly. I added a little painted
frame on top of my photo with a tiny key.
My flowers were made using a Cheery Lynn Flower die and
my ribbon a torn piece of cotton spritz with stain. Cracked Pistachio, Stormy
Sky and Tumbled Glass. My little shabby heart had a Rub on added onto it.
You still have a few days left to join in our Current Challenge Spring Colours, where you can win a £20 shopping spree at CountryViewCrafts.
Thanks for all your comments and wishes for Simba last
week. He is finally getting stronger and eating a lot better now, which is so
lovely to see. I'm sure it's true when they say a cat has nine lives !

ReplyDeleteWOW, Julie! Oh My Gosh--I just love all of the improvisations you took with Tim's May tag! I just LOVE your rusticky wonderful torn cotton bow! I LOVE IT!

Happy Friday and Happy Weekend! This sure is a FUN way to spend a Friday :) :) XOXO-Shari
ReplyDeleteOh yes! That dramatic pop of blue against the gauze background is amazing!!! Must admit to having gone for that too after Astrid's push. I really love your take on Tim's tag. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteYour Tim tag came out perfectly Julie, so much lovely texture. Have a great weekend x
ReplyDeleteWooow, woow, woow, Julie, I like your fantastic tag more than original one! What a clever idea to use that gauze paper rather than burlap and to use a torn piece of cotton instead of crinkle ribbon! LOVE it!
