Hello everyone,
I didn't think I was going to get back this weekend but here I am, back from Hadley's 5th Birthday party, boy do those kids get a lot of stuff these days..and the food and balloons and bouncy castles and just stuff all over the yard to play with, what a great day..
Made a Steampunk tag using up left over top hats, just had to..
I had five fussy cut hats left over, so, decided on a tag.
First spray, vintage photo..
second spray.. Forest Moss then Lumberjack plaid..
Then made mess..
but it worked in the end, I added a metallic paint and it went splotchy.
But looks rather cool..
Glued on three of the hats...
Into my embellishments..
Made my decision, plus some gears..
Painted them black after gluing together to make a focal point..
Then with a DRY brush brushed on some metallic paint in brass
Went over that with gold..
And we have dimension...
And the end result..after gold splatters of ink and a length of black raffia
threaded through..
So there we go..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I ate too much junk food at the party,
think I would have learned by now wouldn't you..
Luv CHRISSYxx

Fabulous tag Chrissy, I did nab the hat yesterday so will at some point be using it, but this is brilliant, love the colours.
Glad little Hadley had a great day, they get so much now don't they, for us it was special birthdays only, times change.xx
Awesome tag Chrissy. When I visit your blog I always want to play with you, as your step by step photos look like a workshop.
I think we never learn to stop eating junk food when we get the chance to do....lol.

Fantastic Steampunk tag Chrissy- grungey and gorgeous!
Hadley's party sounds like fun- I love kids' parties! (especially when I don't have to clean up the debris afterwards! Or get the over- excited party goers to bed afterwards) xx
