Hi Everyone, I chose the Book of Kells as inspiration for the lettering and decoration for my 'Book' theme this week.
I used tea and distress ink to age the torn paper pages and tag. For the illuminated letters (which spell out Tag Tuesday) I used black and gold Uni Posca markers and Derwent inktense for colour. I added a piece of plaited string to finish. It was great fun to do and I'm very pleased with the end result. Full set of photos on my Blog page
This is a stunning tag. And is the same line as what I was thinking of doing. :-) I will have to have a re-think now.
