I had fun searching my stash for treasures for this week and unearthed a beautiful sea urchin, a seahorse bead and an old bracelet of fishes that I brought for 20p at a car boot sale thinking it would come in useful! I hot air gunned some green chiffon for seawead and found a piece of driftwood in my beach combing bag that even had little barnacles on it. The background was layers of dylusion and distress ink sprays then stencilled over and some bleach outs to tone it with a little rock stamp I had over stamped with distress faded jeans
Thank you so much for your kind comments last week. I shall be back this evening to enjoy your tags and leave mine but unfortunately have to go off in this glorious sun to work! Have a lovely week everyone, don't get sunburnt! x
This is gorgeous, love all the embellies you have used! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI like all your little finds, but love the way your background came out. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteA lovely, lovely tag - gorgeous embellishments and a fab background. I love that driftwood with the barnacles on it!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! That "seaweed" is stunning! Great choice of materials!
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic embellies you have used Barb..love the sea urchin and the driftwood with the little barnacles...and the green chiffon looks very effective as seaweed...another clever and stunning tag!
ReplyDeleteWonderful tag Barb. Love all the inky layers of the background. I am going to try spraying with Distress Ink sprays (Lesson 4 of TH 101 course). That heat gun sea weed is perfect. What a cool technique (or should I say hot!!) I love finding sea urchins. They are so delicate. You found a beauty.
ReplyDeleteI need to get out more and find more beauties like you have here. The background is amazing, as are all the elements of this tag. Love it! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove your shoal of little fishes. Fab addition to your tag. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteI really like the rich colours you have chosen for the background which are perfect for your collection of beachy treasures
ReplyDeleteI love your tag!! The seaweed looks like it is floating in the sea. Love all the shells and other embellishments!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great selection of goodies you must have in you stash. I love the way you have distressed and used the chiffon for the seaweed and those little 'fishies' look great.
