Once a month a group of my coworkers/friends and I get together for an artsy/craftsy day. Most of my friends are quilters so they really don't understand my delve into the world of collage but next months "challenge" is "red" so I'm making tags for them. Since Valentines Day is around the corner I used that idea and a running theme of queen of hearts.This is the first one; I had to keep it pretty simple because J is not into a lot of "stuff". My classroom drives her nuts because I have my photos all over the walls and 16 years of accumulated teacher items everywhere LOL. Will be posting the other ones as I finish them.
For this one I put a layer of gesso and stamped it with my text stamp as a sort of resist. Once it was dry I painted it with 3 different shades of red, glued a piece of scrapbook paper on the right, stamped it, and pasted her face on a playing card.
what a great tag! and I love the title of your blog, such good words!
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by my blog tutorial, you should totally get out that old bind it machine. This red tag could be made into a very cute note book, it would fit nicely in your purse to jot down your to do notes!
