I have made a tag. It measures 7"x 4" (18 x 19 cm). The tag, cogs and clock are all made of thick greyboard and are from Tando Creative.
I started by giving the tag a coat of white gesso and then adding texture paste though the Diamond Life stencil #70 from Aall and Create.
I painted the cogs and frame with brown acrylics and finished them with touches of gold acrylic. I set them aside to dry.
I painted the tag with DecoArt Fluid Acrylics Prussian Blue Hue and Cobalt Turquoise Hue, also Golden Teal Fluid Acrylic. I used a lot of water to move the paints around and blend them.
I added touches of white acrylic and gold acrylic and sprayed them with water to blend them into the blues.
I used dabs of the Golden Teal acrylic and DecoArt Prussian Blue with white acrylic paint to colour the clock. I finished it with some gold acrylic. The padlock was painted with gold acrylic.
I assembled all the elements, using Heavy Body Gel, starting with the lovely gold lace ribbon.
Then I add the cogs, clock, frame and padlock.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous tag, Andree! Love the color scheme and your use of the clock and gear components--I always get stuck at using clocks though they look so lovely. And I like the sense of mystery provided by the lock in the frame! Anita xo
