Yesterday I had a nice, peaceful afternoon crafting. The weather was an exciting mix of rain, hailstones and wind; not really suitable for going walkies, but great to play around with paint and paper etc.
The 2 mini canvases - in twinchy size - have been painted with remnants of blue, green, white and gold acrylics. I added a large white daisy to each one, and then fixed them one above the other onto a white ribbon. I thought they would make a nice present for one of the nurses or therapists here.
The theme over at *Tag Tuesday* this week is vintage. I have made 2 tags, both with images Donna sent to me at Christmas. The first image has been fussy cut, partly coloured with water-colour pencils, and then placed onto a piece of vintage paper and a scrap of lace, all of which has been mounted on a tag cut from a piece of Anna Griffin card-stock. The second image has also been cut out. The tag is made of cardboard, covered with some vintage book paper painted with gesso, and embellished with a ribbon and another scrap of vintage lace.
Have a great day you all, take care, and thanks for visiting!
Oh wow, I love them all, Valerie!!! Soooo beautiful!!!

Gogeous tags my dear!
ReplyDeleteHi Val,
ReplyDeletewhen I watch your journal project I sometimes think about the main thing/idea of your journal. Recently I made a "Smashbook" for my mother to take with her on holiday and while working on that book I thought, that this "Smashbook" should be used as a travel journal - and then thought of your journal. As my mother does not scrap or anything like that she will not do such individual and different things like you (I hope she will use it any way).
Hugs
