Please pop by to see what our fabulous guest Karolina and the DT have made!

I have had this Large Etcetera Tag on my shelf for months and finally got around to decorating it!  I found it a bit daunting to be honest,as it is so big, but I finally plucked up some courage and got stuck in. Not so scary once I got started and actually really enjoyed making this. I have even ordered a couple more of the same size!! I think one decorated for Christmas would be really cool on the front door rather than a wreath!

 I made this tag to hang onto my gate to welcome guests to our cocktail/barbeques parties, a perfect way to have fun during the hot summer months! 

 I started by tearing papers and adhering them to the tag using Gel Medium, I did like the look of the papers but then decided to give them a coat of Gesso and when that was dry I blended Faded Jeans and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks, my 'Go To' colours ;-) I then spritzed with water and splattered with inks. 

I randomly stamped the text using a Tim Holtz Block Lower Alphabet Foam Stamp Set  and I used a Cocktails Blueprints Stamp Set and an Altenew Brushed Alpha Die Set to decorate the tag.

I love how this has turned out! 

Thanks for looking!
