Hi, morning (afternoon/evening) all - here we are again. Week 101 of this amazing club hosted by the lovely Julia at The Stamping Ground. There isn;'t a great deal on my craft mat today - haven't done anything crafty since the weekend; I have been faling asleep on the sofa in front of the TV. So head over to Julia's to check out some interesting places people craft!
Just before you go though - Wednesday now means, not only What's on your Workdesk Wednesday? but also Dragon's Dream challenges, for which I am proudly on the Design Team!
This week on Dragon's Dream Tag It On we are challenging you to texturise your tag. Come play along - we'd love to see some new faces!
I have used all sorts of goodies on my tag - Paperartsy fabulous Fresco paints - with a layer of crackle paint in between - it is such great stuff - it you haven't tried them yet - DO!
Then I added some Viva terra paste which I stamped into (wet the stamp first so it doesn't stick) before drying it - I painted it with the fresco paint to match the other side of the tag.
I used a Paperartsy flower on some white clearly for art (which I painted to match the tag) before heating it to curl it and stuck it to the tag, stamping another flower off centre and a text at the bottom. Clearly for Art is great - it's a moldable product which you heat and bend to the shape you want. It doesn't shrink (as someone asked last week).
The silver charm in the middle is from a cheapo necklace I bought to use the bits from and I used a piece of the Tim Holtz flower trim for the second flower, touched with a bit of worn lipstick ink.

Stick with your paints rather than what I was trying to do - the results you are getting are gorgeous. Fab tag - fab flowers.
I love this kind of 'shabby chic' look! The crackled background...the beautiful printed flowers...and that soft pink. Lovely!
Beautiful tag! Thanks for sharing!
Wow...gorgeous tag! Wednesday's are going to be busy for you....
