July Tag

Finally, today I had chance to join in Tim's 12 Tags of 2012. As soon as I saw his post this afternoon I wanted to get inky :-) If you haven't already you should really check his tag out.

What fun this technique is, as usual I had to improvise, as I didn't have all the stash, but I just Love how the tags turned out.

I didn't want to create a 4th July tag as in New Zealand we don't celebrate this day, but this technique is so adaptable. I've created this graffiti feel tag. My eldest 2 kids are already laying claim to it :-)

I didn't have a blowy thingy (lol)  so just blew like mad and tipped the card around. I then wanted the heart a bit redder so painted it in, and a little on the banner to add a bit more definition.  I also heated the ink a bit which gave it real depth and texture in places.

It's the first day of the winter school holidays today, and the kids are all still happy, I'm hoping to get some serious crafting time in over the day or so, so watch out there's heaps of posts on the way!

Have a great week and school hols.
