Hello everyone,
It's LITTLE RED WAGON time and our lovely hostess is Kate and she is carrying on with her Elton John songs inspired themes and this week " Candles in the wind " - any light source, sun, light bulb, candle and even the moon is eligible as it cast light on us..
My project started on background making day, I have those, and this was the biggest stencil I think I own, bought it, never used it, but on this day, I did..and stenciled with modelling paste..then it sat there.
I had no idea what to really do with it, then these powders came to mind..
Nuvo powders, gorgeous colours and on black, well, they just worked.
Tap tap tap, very gently...too impatient, I squeezed it..
but lots of water and getting the powder to melt and move,
I ended up with this..
then I split in two and ended up with two tags..
I got my pencil out and sort of sketched a couple of light bulbs,
then cut then out..
Coloured them yellow with silver gel pen tops..
and drew some electric wire things with thin black marker..

added die cut chains with silver mirror card stock..
This one had a single chain which was actually the chain off an anchor die..
and the we go, two tags with a background I had no use for but it turned out I did..
so do come and join in with us HERE
Thank you so much for stopping..
I'll see you again soon..
luv CHRISSYxx
So creative Chrissy- love how these tags turned out, your hanging lightbulbs look fabulous against the beautiful, dark background- you found a great use for it. xx
ReplyDeleteGreat tags, love the fabulous background with the coloured textured stencil, great light bulbs with the chains too.

You did a great job with that huge background. Lovely you have worked with the powders, which gave a fab effect. Finally you ended with 2 stunning tags!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing Chrissy. I did have a snigger when you said you were too impatient lol. Sounds just like me. But boy you did make two very gorgeous tags!!
ReplyDeletefantastic tags Chrissy.........gr karin
ReplyDeleteThis is the exact reason I love doing our challenges. Who would have thought to put a lightbulb (which by the way is very cool!) on that particular background? But because of the challenge, you did and ended up with 2 fab tags!
ReplyDeletecute tags, great you could get two out of your piece, the powders were a great touch for them. Great job on the light bulbs, like the touch with the added die cut chains!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! You are so creative, Chrissy. I love seeing your process. I would NEVER have thought to cut the big image in half and yet it worked so beautifully!!! And then the bulbs you added...excellent! Love the two tags, just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteReally awesome tags Chrissy! I love that shimmer powder over the black as it does a great job at catching that light! Your lightbulbs are super cool with the hanging chains too!
ReplyDeleteSo very cool, Chrissy! Especially loving the chains in mirror cardstock.
ReplyDeleteThey are brilliant Chrissy, you have a really creative mind!! xx
