Wow,a big hello to my new followers,I do get like an excited child when I see more people joining. It's so lovely for me to come and check out your blogs too.......just please don't post anything on your blogs that may tempt me to buy more supplies.....I am talking about you Silvia.....guess who went and ordered those Dina Wakley face stamps last night after looking at your latest tag.......I have no art supplies willpower!
Hmmm,anyway,today I have finally finished my version of Tim's rather scrummy July tag,I think that is one of my favourite ones he has done. This really tested me as I mentioned before,we don't have those dies and embossing folders in the UK yet so it took a bit of thinking! You will notice that all the pictures have been taken with the tag laying flat.....I didn't want to chance propping it up as I wasn't too sure more bits of the 'sand' wouldn't start falling off so thought best to keep it flat!!
I am entering this in Tim's July 2014 challenge here and That's Crafty,All at Sea challenge here
Hope you like it......going for a lie down now!

WOWEE to your amazing improvisation on this one Donna and what a fabulous seahorse you drew, I love it, the paint treatment on it too! All the elements are fantastic and make up a really beautiful scene, the real seashells are the perfect finishing touch. Think I'm probably going to have to go down a completely different route with mine, will have to see what I can come up with. Chris xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous take on Tim's tag Donna. So impressed with your hand drawn seahorse.
ReplyDeleteI feel like a cheat now as I printed off a picture and traced around it! Love your staging for your last photo too x
Hi sherry,thank you for your lovely comment. Well to be honest I gave it one go,if I couldn't draw it I was going to trace :)
