We have had a wonderful week over on the Paper Artsy Blog this week!! On wednesday I had quite a shock when my friend Sam appeared with a beautiful oriental tag!! Not that her work isn't good enough but she kept it very quiet the dark horse!! You can see Sam's tag here. I was working all week and didn't have much time to play and then another friend appeared! Lin Brown..(who is also a designer of some lovely stamps!) You can see Lin's piece here..Well I loved them both so the only thing to do was mix it up and take inspiration from both clever ladies!!
I loved the way Lin had used washi tape to form the base for her background and then stenciled in snowflake so I followed along with that. I also loved the way Sam had used the corrugated (love this stuff!) for her tag..so I followed along with that..I hadn't used my Lynn Perella oriental stamps for a while so enjoyed making this tag a lot!! The image is mounted on a tattered florals flower and them onto the torn card with a bit of crunchy wax paper behind it.Sam has a great technique of cutting a butterfly and mounting over the girls face..it looks great. As I don't have that die I cut a small tag and did the same thing...very effective.The sentiment is from Lin's ELB04 plate..
Thank you for the inspiration girls!!
Thanks for stopping by.....

Oooh Lin your tag came out fantastic, sorry to shock you, but I was sworn to secrecy by the PA team - hehehe!! Glad you found time to play along and love the image on the tag and the tatter floral, looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along and good luck in the draw later today.

Nice mash up, beautiful result:-) x
ReplyDeleteGreat tag, Lin! For some reason I keep missing all your lovely creations, so I'm catching up, having discovered loads of lovely posts. I loved Sam's tag for PA and this is a beautiful interpretation of it. Julie Ann xxx
