This week has been tiring for me, starting my new job and having to concentrate on learning new systems and processes, and not to mention working all day to 5.30.... got so used to having afternoons off! Still the arrival (finally) today of part of the redundancy pay perked me up no end and after dinner I had to get painty...
This week, Sue was back at Paperartsy and showed 3 gorgeous projects. I am not going to have time to try them all however (I am going to Artstamps Newbury on Saturday, can't wait!) but did want to join in at least one. I decided on yesterday's tag screen (all the instructions how Sue did this, are
HERE)
This is mine....
Lots of photos, but I'll leave Sue's post at Paperartsy to explain the methods, as it's only fair being her idea.
Limelight and Ice Blue, stencil with Snowflake
finished tag (the one I took of it on it's own, was out of focus but of course I didn't notice till I came to upload it...
Limelight and Bora Bora
Limelight and Beach Hut. Instead of blending out with the babywipe I pounced the babywipe to blend.
stencilling (love this stencil so much!)
and it's finished tag
final tag, I used Limelight and South Pacific.
Mounted them on black card (thanks to Darcy for helping me with the way to do this using 2 bits of black card even though I still messed it up, I was able to rescue it!!)
I decided to have the two darker ones on the outside and the two lighter ones in the middle.
As it's 11pm it's a bit hard to get decent photos of the finished thing, hope you can see ok
Sue, I am so glad I got to play along this week, thanks again for some lovely inspiration (I want to have a go at a canvas like your second project but that will have to be one for later!!)
Entering this to the
Paperartsy challenge and also to
Simon Says as they have an "anything goes" week.

These are wonderful tags Helen and well done you for getting them done after your quite gruelling week. I keep trying to pick a favourite tag but find it's impossible.... love them all! I think I need that Roman lettering stencil, it's really effective.
