The current challenge over on Tag Tuesday is travel. I am in the midst of report writing and looking forward to the summer holidays so I found a tag to join in with.
As
usual when I want a quick background, I used the top layer of a paper
towel mop up sheet in blue to act as the sky (glued and sealed all over
with Distress Collage Medium, dried and trimmed onto a #8 manilla tag).
The balloons are stamps - now discontinued - by Clarity Crafts (Hot Air Balloons set; the
largest and middle sized balloon), stamped onto three different pieces
of patterned paper, fussy cut and layered up. Once added, the whole tag
was once again given a good coat of distress collage medium and dried
thoroughly.
The Phthalo Blue Big Brush marker (Faber-Castell) was blended around
each of the balloons and along some of the edges of the tag.
I decided to add more of the Phthalo Blue to emphasize the sky, leaving some of the cream areas to give the hint of clouds.
A sentiment from the Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker book, cut in two, completed the tag.
Love your Tag and love the sentiment too.
