Dragons Dream - TIO - T and stencils

Hello and happy New Year to you all - good to have you on board with the DragonsDream team - our next theme is chosen by me, and I want you to use the letter T and to incorporate stencil(s) in your tag. .not forgetting one real stamp!

I was given a fabulous large tree stamp (Donna Downey for Prima) for Christmas that was just begging to be used! I forgot to take any pictures during the making of the tag, oops!

 I started by painting the tag with blue Fresco paint, I used Ice Blue. I stencilled Grunge Paste through the Art Is stencil, randomly and sponged some Beach Hut Fresco over the dried GP, and wiped some of the paint off, before sanding the GP back.

I painted the tree using Frescos and stamped it onto the tag, but it didn't come out very well, so overstamped using Gathered Twigs and Mowed Lawn distress inks which showed up a little more.







I used a second stencil, which is from the Crafters Workshop "well rounded" stencil, (it has several shapes on it ) in Chipped Sapphire



I outlined the leaves and trunk with my white Sharpie marker and added some green ribbons, and some little die cut birds (memory box) to the branches.




The text is one of Tims, stamped and cut from a scrap of white card and edged with Chipped Sapphire distress ink and 3d foam pads to add it to the tag.

I look forward to seeing your tags.
