Hi Everybody!
Today I have a large, mixed media tag made for Joan's
Steampunk theme at Tag Tuesday. It was once again made from
recycled craft card from an Amazon shipping envelope
and from an old calendar. The BG was stamped with Paper-Artsy
and TH stamps using distress oxide in Peacock feathers. The die
cuts were fixed with foam squares to give dimension. The top-hat
was cut free hand from calendar paper. As usual I sewed
the edges together. I am also linking to Simon
Wednesday challenge, pop it up:
This morning I was up before dawn:
Venus is twinkling in the tree:
Venus beginning to fade:
A plane coming in to land:
The precious moments as the sun slips up above
the horizon:
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Lovely tag, great dimension, and wonderful photos, as always. How nice to see Venus! I probably wouldn't know her if she smacked me on the head! Your sunrise scenes are always so gorgeous. Have a nice day, off to have a coffee here before the kids wake up. Hugs, Sarah

What a fun and fabulously large tag. There is so much to look at between the background and all the steampunk/masculine elements.

Great tag Valerie. I like those steampunk die cuts. The glasses are really cool. And looks like it was a gorgeous sunrise the day you took those photos. Like a summery morning. Oh, for a nice summery morning. :) Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt's not summery here, but we had another nice morning, and it's neither raining nor freezing, so that's something!
