Hi everybody!
Our theme at Tag Tuesday this week is locks and keys, which offers many creative possibilities.
I made 2 tags, as I couldn't stop once I started....
The first one has a background stamped in various layers and then
distressed, and mounted onto a second tag made from corrgated cardboard,
partly peeled, painted, and 'rusted' with Viva rust. The sentiment is a
stamp from TH, the flourish is from LaBlanche, and the background stamp
is from EBAY - I don't know more! I fastened the tags together with a
large eyelet, and added a heart-shaped lock from LaBlanche on a
ballchain from TH. The key is a brad from my stash. I clear embossed the sentiment after stamping to give it more definition.
The second tag has been made from a piece of card where I tried out some
new stamps from TH that I got as a present some weeks back. I distressed the card with
dried marigold and wild honey, and stamped with Archival sepia in a
random fashion till the tag was full, The heart was made in a mould
using candle wax remains, and coloured with Inka Gold in gun-metal grey
and copper. The tags have been fixed together with a TH paper clip, and I
added some tissue tape and lace in one corner.
Today started off cold and misty again, but got better in the course of the day. I walked along the beach, and enjoyed watching everything.
I love the different colours of green, each tree seems to have its own special shade.
In the afternoon I visited the horses, I sometimes wonder what they are thinking about when they are standing around all day.
Have a good day you all, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
cute tags, I like the theme. Nice photos today too.

Hi Valerie, Love your tags!! Great details. Your pics are wonderful too and what a fun design on the
ReplyDeleteside of the boat. The horses look so at peace. Maybe they are thinking how wonderful to just be without worry or a care.
Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back soon.
Hugs
Your tags are absolutely gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tags Valerie, you are always so inspiring! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteLovely tags, the heart embellishments are gorgeous on both tags as are the keys. Lovely backgrounds too and I love your use of corrugated card . Thanks so much for joining in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Tracy x
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - the main thought on the horses mind is food! Wonderful pictures and I love that ferry - so happy!!
ReplyDeleteYour tags are wonderful - I do think making tags is fun. I also love the keys and locks - they might just be for the Secret Garden or the Mysterious Graveyard!

You could be right about those horses, they always come to the fence when they see someone there, and go away again if they don't get anything! Mysterious graveyeard would be a great tag topic, must remember that one!
DeleteWonderful.... love the edges on that tag, and the embellishments, and your views. What a cool boat skimming on the river, so colorful. xox
ReplyDeleteLove these tags Valerie, your candle wax heart is wonderful xx
ReplyDeleteLove the stamping.... fabulous! And the textured bits and the heart, as well. Looks like you had great fun making these.
ReplyDeletelove the color palette on your tags
