Hi friends! It's me again trying to get back into the bloggy swing of things. It seems that things will be harder than ever with the loss of Feedburner, challenges closing and the inevitable fast paced life we're growing accustomed to. Let me just say how invaluable your interaction with us makers is! Your follows, comments, shares and continued support mean everything to us and are what make the wheels keep on turning. So thank you for being here!
Today I have a mixed media tag to share with you. I just had to have a play with the new to me PaperArtsy Hot Pick stamp set 2001. I have wanted this stamp set for over a year now. My tag was inspired by THIS awesome post by our very own Leandra Franich, the PaperArtsy queen herself.
I used corrugated cardboard for my base and some of the layers. I used a lot of Infusions powders to add my color.
I used crackle paste, Grunge paste and Art Stones with a little Fresco chalk acrylic paint. I made a motorized "bait" to lure the fish to their proverbial catch using a newer Hot Pick stamp set (2101).
I haven't been able to swim this summer because of my recent surgery, and this tag literally represents my desire to be in water. I added a bit of Lavinia's new Mica Minerals powder to create sheen on the fish scales. Now can I paint myself with it and call me a mermaid? Pretty please! Happy summer friends, Autumn
