Stag Tag........

I had fun with this one, using lots of different mediums.........

Here is my Stag Tag
Absolutely delighted, Amazed and thrilled to be a top three in Loll's Christmas Tag extravaganza-
How Lucky am I xx Thank you very much xx

I have used..........

Inka Gold in Platinum and Mint Green for the 'sky' and some of the flowers.

Starlights paint in Silver, Platinum and Menthol for some of the flowers, some of the leaves and the Stag, Wood embellishment.

Frantage Shabby Green and Shabby White for some the leaves.

Finnabair Snowflake Dimensional Paste for the snow Mountains.

Imagination Crafts Diamond Sparkle Medium for the shards of Icicles, through a stencil.

I liked how the Inka Golds blended when swooshed for the 'sky' and some of the leaves.

I also added texture to the 'sky' using a palette knife.

The Poinsettia flower and leaves have been die cut from Card, Mirror Card 

and Vellum to give different textures.

I drew in the pine trees and hi-lighted with a white pen.

The stag is a wood embellishment painted in Silver Starlights, which covered really well.

I popped in shiny beads from my stash to the centers of the poinsettias.

The corrugated card was finished off with silver embossing around the edges.

There's lots of texture, shine, different mediums, time and fun that went into this tag.

I loved the tone on tone colours of the tag and how the different mediums played well together.

I thought the Stag was looking at the star and was making a wish x

I wanted to show you this photo of the first background I did out of the Inka's...

It ended up looking like a scene, maybe a tree trunk on the left hand side?

Absolutely purely accidental after doing the swooshing!

Anyway....I couldn't use it as I thought I may use it another time as a starting point for a card?

I recently bought a Stag for Christmas and thought these where fun photos to pop on my post x

More Than One Fold

Today's card........

This is my card for.... Card4Guyz Guest Designer for this week

The challenge is More Thank One Fold.

I hadn't realised but I hadn't made a card that had more than one fold in it before!

 The CS has been sprayed with three different shades of purples, two with mica in them.

I used black embossing paste, through a stencil for the film strip to add texture.

For the birthday sentiment I stenciled through individual letters with purple distress ink 

and hi-lighted with a white pen.

I added Gold...Inka Gold to some of the black raised embossing paste text 

and some of the hardware.

The Inka gold covered the metal really well.

The edges where finished with black distress ink.

I scored and folded the card and was really pleased that the embossing paste did not crack!

I am entering the card into the following challenges.......

The Male Room-Stash-Use Hardware/brads/charms/eyelets etc.
