I had some new stamps arrive and just happened to make a tag with them which fits the 'summer colours' theme quite well - I hope!
I must give credit to the hugely talented Colleen Dietrich who did a fab 'bee' card and gave me the inspiration for the background on this tag. Colleen used a resist technique to create the honeycomb but I found a somewhat quicker method: good old TH embossing folder!! Do go and look at her blog if you haven't been before - I LOVE her work!
This will be all for a while from me as Cyprus calls again and we're off soon! Have a great week.
The elements used to make the tag. I also used some garden twine to go through the top but forgot to add it to this photo - oops! |
An uncluttered (for me!) completed tag! The pink in this tag is really vibrant and I'm afraid my photography skills don't do it justice - same with the gorgeous lime green. |
MUSt get me some of those Dylusions Inks! I've heard sooooo many people talking about how vibrant the colours are!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that honeycomb and bees background! How cute are they!
Thanks for the comments about the Art course! :D I am STILL grinning from ear to ear :D
Hope you have a wonderful time in Cyprus! :D
Take care
