And they beat the gold into thin
plates,
and cut it into WIRES to work it
in the
blue and in the purple and in the scarlet
and in the fine linen, with
skillful work.
Exodus 39:3
Welcome to Thursday Totally Tags ‘n’ ATCs over at MyPaperCrafting.com! Every Thursday we on the Design Team do a team post featuring Tags n' ATC's. We have a specific Theme
each week featuring an element, technique or embellishment. We all come up with something
excitingly different – using various types of tools, etc. to create our
projects...i.e., Cricut, CAMEO, Spellbinders, punches, stamps, paint, material,
lace, inks, etc. The sky's
the limit! The only restriction... If we use SVG's or Digi's, we will only
use those from the vast selection at PCW.
There are some changes coming for the next few summer months, so please
keep track of things by visiting Melin’s blog – and checking back here
often. I’ll let You know, when I
know how things will work out.
The Theme for this week’s projects is WIRE! I made a Gift Tag to use at some point in the future and I
had fun planning/designing/implementing that with things I had ‘just hanging
around.’ - (Get it?? *smile*)
In looking through my ‘scraps stacks,’ I discovered the
‘negative’ of a cut file I used for a Tag earlier this spring. I used it to trace the shape onto Kraft
cardstock – and then I made a ‘shadow’ of it on Periwinkle blue cardstock. I also used it as a ‘mask’ and stamped
a ‘Cheesecloth’ image in Brown ink onto the Kraft cardstock Tag. I also inked the edges of the tag.
'Negative space' used for tracing and stamp 'masking' |
I punched 2 holes on an angle near the top of the Tag and
inserted 2 tiny square brads. I
wound thin wire around each of them, making a ‘clothesline’ from which to hang
the stamped sentiment, ‘just for you,’ from a tiny clothespin, to which I also
added a bit of ink. I stamped the
sentiment and punched it out with a scalloped circle punch.
I made a ‘flower’ from a grommet, wooden beads and
wire. I made 2 flowers with daisy-shaped
punched pieces of herringbone cardstock. I added Periwinkle Gems to their
centers. I made a ‘bed’ of punched
leaves and branches and adhered the flowers to it. I punched tiny flowers and added the tiniest punched pieces
from the leaves as centers in them, adding them here and there.
I added a Brown ribbon to the top of the Tag.
Here is the cutting file I used - the 'negative space' left from this Tag - 'Cross in White' - It's called, 'Elements Deco 13 Set cf.'

Lynden this is so pretty. Love the periwinkle and the brown combo. The cheesecloth adds cool textue. Another awesome tag from you.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful tag from you! You have so many unique ideas! All of the embellishments just add the final beautiful touch on this fabulous tag! :)
ReplyDeleteWow Lynden, I love your tag! Such a beautiful tag, loving the color combo, love how you inked the "texture" onto the tag itself and your flowers are to die for!! Love how you added the wire and then hung the sentiment off it! So cool looking! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteGreat tag! I love all the details and the colors go so well together!
