Today's tag was inspired by a colour challenge
over at Rubber Dance....
I played with a couple of stencils, translucent paste
and Brusho's for the background.
The sea horses have been stamped and water-coloured
with zigs and hi-lighted with mica powders.
The shell has been stamped and sprinkled with Bistre powders.
The sand is paste, micro beads and coloured with Lindy powders.
The coral has been die cut from several colours of Brusho card.
The ribbon has also been coloured with Brusho's.
I had such fun playing with techniques and enjoyed making my tag.
I had a chuckle after I had finished, looking at the stenciled anchor,
which looks like it is heading for the seahorse's head!!!!
Thank you for finding the time to stop by...I always appreciate it x

This is absolutely wonderful! I love everything about it! The layout, colors and design; the clean lines and texture and dimension that makes me want to reach through the computer and stroke it! Thank you for sharing your project with us this month over at STAMPLorations for the June Mix Media Challenge.
Adorable seahorses! Loving this spectacular and bright under the sea tag my friend. Would be great to be at the beach this minute and just enjoy the horizon :) Love seeing you once again at STAMPlorations June Mixed Media Challenge and thank you for playing along with us.

You are stacking up the $ and hope you enjoy shopping, I know I will! I just adore how you so cleverly adapted the color palette with this tag. Your design is just wonderful, the stamps, the dimension, the gorgeous attention to detail. Love love and will be pinning. Big hugs, Autumn
