Things with wings


I sharing another tag and ATC for our midway challenge over at
where the option theme is things with wings.

For my tag base I started by covering it
in cosmic shimmer in candy pink.
I then used a stencil and some gesso
to add texture here and there.
When it was dry I stamped some text using
a stamp set called Gorgeously Made (SU).
Then I stamped some flowers from a set
called Flourishing Phrases and cut them out.
I inked up the background in various colours
of distress ink then spritzed with water and
removed some again.
The flowers were cut to fit the tag
and some pearls added to the centres.
Next came the dragonfly which was stamped, punched,
coloured and layered up.
The set is from SU called Dragonfly Garden.
I added some sentiments from an old Hunkydory book
and some sequins here and there.
It was finished with a piece of seam binding
which I coloured to match.
I definitely embraced the journey here lol
but totally enjoyed getting messy.

For my ATC I used some scrap paper cut to the size.
I stamped tree branch, leaves and music notes
directly onto my base. Then I stamped and punched
the bird, layering it up, and added to my branch.
The stamp set used is called Sweet Songbirds (SU).
The wording was cut from a free craft paper set from
years ago, which I coloured to match the bird.
I finally ran the ATC through my sewing machine
for the stitching.

so come along and join us!

  3. The birdie is very sweet and such neat stitching, not easy on something as small as an ATC but it's the tag with those rich layers of colour that's my fav today.

    Thanks so much for sharing the tag with us at Moving Along With The Times.
