some more tags

Just had to make this one , inspiration can be found in strange places. Somebody showed me a picture and suddenly this was in my head. We happened to be in Paris a few weeks ago and I had bought some Eiffel Towers. I only needed one but you can't seem to buy just one Eiffel Tower in Paris, they come 5 at a time LOL

The extra towers came in handy for this though...

 

Supply list

Deco Art Americana,

Acrylic Paint in the colours:

Sea Breeze DA 256-3

Light Buttermilk DA 164-3

Traditional Burnt UmberDA 221

Gesso

Glazing Medium

Weathered wood Crackle medium

I usually save all cardboards from notebooks, enveloppes, anything that has sturdy card isn't thrown away, I hand cut the tags and Gesso them.

Then I painted it using the Sea Breeze, let dry and stamped the images on using Archival Jet Black ink and cobalt blue for the background stamp, it's hardly visable but it's there.
Next the Weathered wood, let dry and apply top layere Light Buttermilk. Watch it crack but don't let dry completly. Whipe away the light buttermilk to get the effect you want. I use a baby whipe for that.
Let dry and make a glaze using the glazing medium and traditionalburnt umber, glaze the whole tag to get a bit more of an old look. Protect the tag using matte Varnish.
 Add the roses and other embellies and voila.....

 

The other tag is Halloween themed made for the Haunted Design House challenge
