Helen's Choice

Hello everyone, thank you for popping by as I have a great project to show you by one of my twitter mates, Helen. It was her turn to choose the theme on the TIO challenge site, and she chose the letter N and stenciling. You can see Helen's and all the other talented people's here.

I was trying to catch up with blog posts as I am a bit behind and so busy at the moment, when I saw her fabulous inspiration. I thought about what I could do using a new die from sizzix which I have just bought from Country View Crafts, (arrived amazingly fast). And this is the result.

I covered a Manila tag in Fresco Acrylic Paint using Teal and Taupe. Next I stencilled in Chalk using a Tim Holtz stencil.



I distressed the tag with Walnut Stain distress ink and stamped some script and nibs in Potting Soil Archival ink. 


I added my cut outs which I had distress with Tea Dye, Walnut Stain, Black Soot and Mustard Seed. Once dry I added some treasure gold here and there.


Now I assembled it all adding my words.



And here's the finished tag



I'm going to enter this into the challenge. Thanks for visiting and please come back soon. Debs xxx
