Hello everyone,
Time for a new challenge over at LITTLE RED WAGON and I am hostess this fortnight with the fun theme "UNDER THE SEA "...
I went into my nautical storage box and hauled out all sorts of embellishments..
The fish, seahorse and starfish I made from air dry clay and painted..
The background tag panel was sprayed with gloss sprays from Dina Wakley..
A close up of some of the bits..
I used cork for the sand at the bottom and memory box vines die going up..instead of hanging down.
Onion bag..
Attached my Seahorse..
Sprinkled a mixture of sand and micro beads....
In and around the starfish..
Dimension...yes.
The straw scrolls all inked up and rubbed with gold mousse..
My Seahorses tail broke but I glued him back together and you cannot even tell...
Love these Tom Holtz sentiment strips, lovely wording.
Showing gold micro beads...looks like seahorse eggs, you never know!
And there we have a finished tag..it is now hanging in my craftroom..
So there we go, thank you so much for stopping by, if you make Under the Sea projects, not just cards, anything you like just come and link up HERE
I'll see you tomorrow..
Luv CHRISSYxx

ReplyDeleteI knew I was going to see some of that precious onion bag. This is absolutely (I always use that when I comment on your creations, but it's true) gorgeous! Your details are brilliant, the sea creatures looks so authentic and yes, definitely seahorse eggs.
