Up The Wall

Up The Wall

Hi there!

I'm so excited - just realised

that coming Sunday is not

only Mother's Day in the UK

but it is also the beginning of

British Summer Time!

Woohoo! 

Right.  Calming down......

......now...

Angela Radford is with us

today with a tag to make

you smile.......

"For this project I started with a white tag 

and using a Tim Holtz stencil, 

I applied the Grunge Paste

Once this was dry I replaced the brick stencil 

and secured it down with masking tape.

Over this stencil I placed the Cobweb.

 Next I used a variety of distress inks

 to build up the colour of the bricks

 

Once I had achieved the colouring I wanted

 I removed the stencils and allowed the ink to dry

 I replaced the stencil on the right side to complete the wall.

 Now it's time to add more colour to the textured section

 adding darker colours to make the bricks stand out.

 I completed this with some black which I think 

gives a more realistic effect to the bricks and also edged it too.

And here is the tag completed and ready for the detail to be added.

 I used the Tim Holtz Wild Flower die and some 

odd bits of sprayed paper from my stash 

and attached these to the tag

And here is the finished project. 

I completed the tag by adding the Tim Holtz Crazy Cat, 

a spider from one of Tim Holtz stamp sets, 

Stickles glitter Glue, and a ribbon.

Here is a close up:

 Hope you enjoyed watching. 

Happy crafting, Angela xXx"
