Good day peeps
Welcome to Friday and a new challenge over at
The Stamp Man. It's my turn to play host and because I love texture I thought that's what I'd do and I made this tag.
So, if you are here because of this on Wednesday; now you know what I was hiding.
I started out with a large paint covered tag and then added some small beads to the base using a 3d glaze to secure.
I keep a jar of odd coloured beads in a jar just for things like this where I plan on painting over. When it had dried I covered the beads with gesso
Still doesn't look too exciting so I added some gesso detail using a mask into the top corner and added a piece of embossed paper too. Then I covered everything with a wash of forest moss and perfect pearls which then tied all the separate items together nicely!
I cut an embossed acetate tag and attached that to the tag with ribbons and added a metal flower that I added embossed detail to using distress embossing powder.
I die cut a coloured the trees and deer and added everything as seen. There's loads of lovely textures and layers going on.
So for more texture inspiration do pop on over to
The Stamp Man and then why don't you have a go too, you may win the £10.00 voucher!
Hope you all have a great day, I'm teaching at The Craft Barn on Sunday; my art journalling #2 class. Still a couple of places if anyone is interested; details are
HERE.

Yeah!! Embossed acetate - I'm hooked on this. Love the tag and really interesting to see how you get the different textures. Do you simply cut the metal flower using a die and then do the other things to it? So much for me to learn! Gorgeous work. Julia
Superb layers and textures Neil, just love the colours too.
Hope you haven't got too much snow.

Great idea with the beads I have tons of jars of those. I love all your layers and the textures are so lush.
Wow, I love how you really transform items and have such an awesome and unique style! Love the idea with the beads. I have a birthday candy on my blog btw! Hugs, Hanneke
What a fantastic way to use all of those old beads, I've got loads of odd coloured ones I never thought I'd use but was reluctant to throw out... I never thought to paint over them before. Given me some fantastic inspiration for a card I need to make over the weekend - thanks.
