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

WOW!! This is so stunning Chrissy!! I love your tag with the fun textures and 3D items! Not to self...I need to remember to save an onion bag...just a great idea friend! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration! P.S. I would've played in the challenge, but my post preceded the challenge going live. Sending hugs
You have created a wonderful undersea world for your beautiful sea creatures, an amazing tag!

Oh wow, that is truly amazing, a piece of art for sure Chrissy!
I 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.
That is stunning and I wouldn't want to sell it. You should keep it as a trophy and hang it in your craft room. The detail is amazing, Big hugs, Carol S,xxxx
I need to spend a month with you just playing with our dry clay and shapes, what a brilliant result, I am loving this..xx
This is gorgeous! Thanks for showing us how to do this, step by step, and every little detail, like the microbeads and sand bits. Everything plays an important role.
stunning Lovely tag. I've been saving the lovely string bags that come with potatoes in my food bag. Maybe I need to do something like this or send them to you!!!!
WOW, Chrissy this is fab, I love all your sea creatures and the 'eggs' are very creative, its a gorgeous tag.xx
Oh wow, that is actually stunning Chrissy, I just knew it would be from the first photo!! xx
What a splendid make, Chrissy! So many wonderful elements, and I love that you repurposed an onion bag - super cool!
Your tag is simply amazing!! The clay creatures are fabulous and the background with the vine dies used for seaweed is fantastic! Love that onion bag too!! Such a clever creation!
