Maybe it was wishful thinking and
looking at all your lovely, sunny, seaside tags last week that brought a slight
change in the weather. At the first sign
of sunshine on Thursday we got in the car and headed for the beach, but the brightness was short-lived and it has
rained here in Bournemouth ever since.
Bailey wasted no time getting in
the waves for a swim, and she is the star of my swimming tag this week.
I wrapped a long strip of frayed blue
organza around a craft vylene tag. This
covered both sides of my tag. On one
side I used some homemade silk paper (made with particularly curly silk
throwsters!) to give the effect of surf. This was similar to last week's SEASIDE TAG ; here they are together to show the difference:
On the front I attached a
photo of Bailey doggy-paddling in the water.
I needle-felted some curly silk behind the photo to continue the surf in the picture.
Below the photo I printed the words
“Come on in . . .
the water’s lovely”. I used a decorative border punch and added a
few shimmer dots.
Tag is finished with a silver
ric-rac tie.
Thanks for
looking, and for all your lovely comments last week,
Bye for now,
Jane xx
Very nice! Great "water" effect. I bet your pup got a good workout!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag, Bailey is a real star! It's been raining cats and dogs here, too! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThat's a sweet tag.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your tag - for me it evokes the smell of wet dog! Happy memories.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Bailey had such fun at the beach - glad you managed to catch a little bit of sun between the lashings of rain we're having.
wow... the tag is so cool...like it a lot
ReplyDeleteLooks like Baily is having fun...Fab tags...the frayed organza make a lovely sea/wave effect.
ReplyDeleteGreat tag..Bailey looks to be having a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteLove the sea effect you have created. Is that a flatcoat I spy in the water? Carolyn x

ReplyDeleteLovely water effects. Can't beat the sight of a dog enjoying the surf, haha :0)
ReplyDeleteTHOUGHT YOU HAD BEEN CUTTING BAILEY'S FUR FOR A MINUTE THEN HAHA.
ReplyDeleteLOVELY SHADES OF BLUE.
Great water effect on your tag, lovely photo of your dog enjoying the surf too. My mother went on a day trip to Bournmouth today, not as lucky as you with the weather though, she had lots of rain.
ReplyDeleteLove all the texture!
ReplyDeleteLovely tag, Jane. Always good to see photos of Bailey, she is beautiful! She is having such fun in the water!I really like the colour and texture of the background too.

I love how your fabric textures perfectly echo the photograph Jane. Bailey looks like he is having fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat tag. Love the water.
ReplyDeleteBailey is lucky to be the subject of this wonderful tag!
ReplyDeleteBailey is a Border Collie cross breed. She was rescued as a puppy. She absolutely loves swimming. She has a swim in the River Stour most days, so we're used to the smell of wet dog! At least the sea is quite clean, Jane xx
