Try It On Tuesday

A message to everyone whose blog I usually visit and leave comments. Something has gone wrong with my blogger reading list and the lists of lots of other bloggers. I went to the help website and it is a bug that they are trying to fix. Hopefully it will be fixed soon and I will be able to see what you have been doing again. xx

Hello Everyone. This is a scheduled post as I am hoping to be well on the way to Keighley when it is posted. We are going by train and hope to be able to have a ride on the steam train to Howarth which runs from Keighley.
Hope your week is going well and that you are ready for another challenge at Try it on Tuesday. Wonderful entries for the 'One for the Boys' with so many different ideas and styles to inspire everyone

The theme this time is to 'Use a Tag on a project or just make a Tag' so something for everyone to join in.

I made a hanging and took the photograph on a bank of wild thyme that grows under our raspberry canes. This was to match the verse from Midsummer Night's Dream

I started out with a piece of  thick card from a box and gave a good coat of white emulsion to add some textures. Then I used all sorts of sprays to get the colour I wanted. I let down some of the strong coloured Dylusions Ink sprays. The gold is Cosmic Glimmer Mist which I just love using.

The tag was embossed in a Cuttlebug folder then die cut and punched shapes added before getting the sprays treatment. I do love spraying maybe I should get a job in a tanning studio :)

Next I added a fairy by using Grunge Paste and a brass stencil. The butterflies are from Tando and also got the spray treatment.

Thanks to Von for sending me the beautiful stamped quote from Shakespeare a long time ago.

Have a lovely day
