Mood Board - The Call of Spring at TioT

         
                                        

It's time for a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and this fortnight we have a 'The Call of Spring' and there's a Mood Board' created by Valerie to give you some inspiration.  So please use this and tell us what you were inspired by.

I was inspired by the pink blossom, blue sky and white clouds, and I've made a large tag and used a technique that I saw 'somewhere' but not sure where now, or if I've done it right, but I like the background texture.

I started with a layer of embossing paste roughly spread onto the tag, then I inked my stamp with Versamark and stamped into the wet paste, and remembered to wash my stamp straight away.  When it was dry, I sprayed Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire Distress Stains to colour over the paste.When that was dry, I smudged on some Gesso and then splattered some watery gesso.  I've highlighted the edges and some of the raised areas with Aquamarine Treasure Gold.  The flower, a Tim Holtz Flower Garden image, was fussy cut and applied to the tag.  The sentiment, another TH,was stamped and embossed with Gold EP.

The rest of the DT have some fabulous inspirations for you, so please pop over to the main blog, where you will find all the details.

Thanks for calling in,
Avril xx
