Monochromatic tag

Good Morning friends.........as promised yesterday here am with another tag. This one is almost entirely done in blue.
Let me briefly take you through the steps -

To begin I used TCW - birds of a feather stencil with texture paste (homemade)
to create the base layer, let it dry & then colored over with salty ocean distress paint.
Then stamped the script (stampaddicts - pot pourii) in archival black. Added some crackle paint (rock candy) to the branches. A dash of brown & green highlights the branches.
Next to tone down the color I added a layer of watery gesso.............

Look at the awesome texture! Added a bit of shimmer to all the birds with my favorite Wink of Stella glitter brush pen.

The little black butterfly is from shrink plastic!

And the bird charm compliments the theme of the tag, don't you agree?

The cages were highlighted using vintage photo DI.

The maroon bird escaping from the cage is a rub on & I think is perfect to break the monotony of blue in the tag.

Next I splattered run down gesso randomly over the tag.

A Flower Pot Card

Good Morning All!!

Sometime back Hussena had made a gorgeous flower pot card, inspired by her I always wanted to give it a try & today I did!

Used brown handmade paper as the base for the pot, the border is punched with EK success punch. Added burlap distressed with vintage photo, over it to lend some texture

Here's my attempt at this card.

The blooms are die cuts from a Itsy Bitsy pack - distressed the flowers in four sizes with spiced marmalade & layered them over, glued a bluish flower sequin in the center.......

The card has a beautiful tag inside..................for this BG I stamped the flourish with versamark ink, embossed in white & then distressed - some sequins, crochet lace & burlap finished the tag. Was unable to capture the beauty of the blooms in this pic...........................in real they are simply gorgeous!
