Up The Wall

Hallo everyone!

Hope your week continues well

Expect you're looking forward 

to the weekend - well, here's a

fun project for you from

Louise Thomson

"I started with a watercolour card tag and 

blended distress inks over it in scattered straw 

and fossilized amber.

Next I taped down my brick stencil and 

blended over fired brick and pumice stone inks.

With the stencil removed I added in a selection 

of plants from Card-io’s backyard blooms stamp set, 

all stamped in mowed lawn distress ink.

I added the spiders web in amongst the plants 

using black versa colour ink, 

then used a black fineliner to join up the

 loose ends of the web.

I die cut a strip of grass and then trimmed 

the off cut so I could use that too, 

to make two different grassy outlines. 

One piece I coated in mowed lawn ink, 

the other I left the original green. 

These were then added to the bottom of the tag. 

I also added in a few creepy crawlies… 

(see how many you can spot…!)

Finally I edged the tag by running the f

ired brick ink pad directly around the edge 

of it and finished off with a few 

coordinating ribbons from my stash."
