January Tag

Hello everyone and Thank you for your lovely comments and welcome back on my last post. 

I am busy at the moment with the next instalment of Wanderlust but you will have to wait a little longer for me to showcase that as there are quite a few pages to complete.  In the meantime I thought you may like to see my take on Tim's tag for January.

It has been a while since I have made any tags so I was thrilled that Tim has decided to re-visit some of his well known techniques, even more so when he put together two of my favourites Chalkboard and Industrial metal.  You can find Tim's original via this link where he gives full details of how to achieve the look.


 I only have a handful of blueprint stamps, but decided to use my favourite stamp from the Nautical blueprint set, the Seahorse.


The background was created with the waves texture fade folder from the waves and bubbles set, I chose this as It reminded me of reeds on the sea bed.
By stamping two or three time, I was able to fussy cut and layer up for a little dimension.
 
 
Tim used the little screw head brads on the four corners as I have here and I added an extra one for the eye of the seahorse.
The tag was finished off with a little piece of linen ribbon.
 


Its so nice getting back to my crafting again, I really enjoyed making this tag. Hopefully there will be many more projects to show you in the coming weeks/months whilst Mr Mojo is staying put:)
Hugs Mo xx
