Searching through my stash for some tiny glimmer of inspiration for this weeks tag I came across this lovely stamp and decided it had to be used!
Here's what I came up with - it will be going to a friend who greatly enjoys sitting on riverbanks doing absolutely nothing (Oh sorry, I meant fishing!).

I picked out the colours in the stamp and wound matching embroidery silks around strips of card. I attached the stamp with Sticky Fixers to give a 3D effect and hooked a fishing fly through the stamp.
Thanks so much to everyone who left such lovely comments last week - I'm looking forward to seeing all the wonderful river tags this week.
Lovely tag, love the colours and the way you have used the threads and the fishing fly is marvelous! x

What a gorgeous tag.I love the idea of picking out the colours with the threads.
ReplyDeleteVery cool and clever - love how you matched the thread with the graphic. well done.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool and soothing and that fly is likely to entice some fish to bite!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cool colours and a great way to use that stamp, lovely background too, Jane xx

ReplyDeleteAnother great tag!Simple and elegant.
ReplyDeleteHi Diana I love everything about this elegant tag. The delicate colours, the unusual use of thread, the focal image and the fishing fly embellishment. Simply perfect!
ReplyDeleteAt first glance it looks so simple, and then you realise how much thought has gone into this gorgeous tag. The background is perfect, looks like a sun speckled little brook gurgling past, and the embroidery threads, which almost look like a bridge over the little brook, match the stamp so well. I LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteThen idea of using the embroidery threads is brilliant - this is a perfect picture. The muted colours convey such a sense of peace.
