This week, at Dragon's Dream, we are dreaming of Nature's Bounty, a theme chosen by my Teamie Wanda - and I have made a tag with some of Tim's leaves from his tattered leaf die.
I started with a sheet of watercolour paper that I coloured with various distress inks - wild honey, peeled paint, mustard seed, barn door, fired brick and spiced marmalade and stamped them with various Paperartsy stamps from their Minis series - direct to paper technique from years ago!! It was kind of pretty before I die cut it!! I gave it a bit of shimmer with Irridescent Gold glimmer mist.
Had a couple of false starts with the tag background before I settled on a plain blue one (leaves tumbling against the sky) I used a small daisy punch too, for some extra impact. Couldn't find a little leaf punch! The 'beauty' stamp is by Claritystamps
the starting piece!
Do come and see what the rest of the team have done, and we hope to see you join in too!

Beautiful tag with great colours. And I love the stamps you've used. Hope there are some pieces left to make more projects of your masterboard.
Bye, Franka
I bet you had fun making your master board. Fabulous result though, just right for your tumbling leaves, perfect against the blue of the sky.
