Imaginarium Designs: Some creative tag fun :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

Well have you been as blown away as I have been with the creations from this incredible Design Team this month?! OMGoodness!!!!!! Just Wow!!

Well I am sorry to say that you guys are having to put up with me having a go at something else that is 'outside my comfort sone'. Last time I hit you with my ATC experimenting, and now its tags! for so long I have created mostly layouts. But I really want to start doing more tags. So much inspiration 'out there' and Im loving it :)

My first proper tag [sts] I created for the Prima NSD Blog Hop >>> HERE, I used some Imaginarium grey board to create the tag background and went from there.

Today I have used a small Imaginarium tag [stole it from Jane's stash while she was interstate teaching at the Brisbane Papercraft and Scrapbooking Expo] LOL :)

Im slowly getting more comfortable with the perspective needed for such a small project, [as a lover of large areas of white space] its a challenge LOL :)

Below is a step out of sorts of how I made the tag. I apologise profusely as the photos were taken with my mobile phone so quality isnt the best.

The background of the tag is first spray painted white. I then used the Tim Holtz metallic distress paint to create a painterly effect.

Using the same metallic paint I coloured the chipboard frame and feather.

When the frame was dried I cropped my photo to fit the frame, and then adhered it with double sided adhesive tape.

I started to layer up my embellishments; first beginning with a Vintage metal trinket which has been cut in half. on top of that I have artfully arranged some cotton thread.

Next I positioned and adhered the [cut in half] metallic coloured flower and chipboard feather over the metal vintage trinket and cotton thread, using adhesive foam dots.
