A COUPLE OF TAGS..

 Hello everyone,

Tuesday morning where I am and we had the most wicked thunder and lightening last night and a downpour like you wouldn't believe......then it stopped, just like that, and this morning it is really cold..

[ she says sitting here with the door open]...but it is..it just has to be a lot colder for me to put a heater on.

So, today I'm sharing a couple of tags that I made on Friday I think..

These sheets of papers were an A4 that I used as an over spray catcher..

I love the colours, so cut the sheet, then had two, put them in my backgrounds basket,

 now I'm using them.. and after gluing them onto white card for stability, trimming and clipping the corners, they were ready to go..

My turtle shell die cut on leftover sprayed card I made..

His body too, die cut and embossed.

Time for some smooshing, I want my things to look old..

And now they do..

what fun it is to smoosh, it comes out different everytime.

The lighthouses made me very happy with their colours..

I loved the turtles too, gave them a little dip in my liquid mess..

Now the anchors were okay, BUT, they were cut with a matt foil and the smooshed inks didn't want to stick, they would eventually, but I'm not good at waiting..

So I had a neat idea to clear embossing them, carefully, and I thought I was, but, I used white instead, didn't read the label,,oh dear, most the ink disappeared so I dipped them onto left over ink while still hot and pressed then down...

and ended up with a very cool feel, look and colour..

you can see the impression in the ink where some of them embossing sort off came off.

Moving on..seagulls getting glued on..

Then made my clusters to stick on using the netting, lighthouse, turtle and anchor..

after that added the shells and straws all inked up..

This tiny piece of sea sponge was caught in the nett and I pulled in half then just had to use it..

So it got poked right in there at the bottom..

And there we have two tags for the price of one..

What a great day that was, I love nautical stuff..

Thank you so much for stopping by,

I'll see you tomorrow..
