Lovely Trees
The lovely ladies of The Artful Times have chosen "Trees" for the fortnightly theme, take a look at their DT projects just great. Such a lovely theme I am a tree hugger I just love em. I did a tag with the natural look so I cut out in brown card. Tore a page from an old nature book from a charity shop (I confess I find book tearing really difficult it seem almost sacrilege, but is very effective). I washed a little guesso over the page to dull the words and then dabbed through masks of sequin waste and harlequin dark red and dark green and stamped butterflies. I punched out 3 small tags inked the edges and rubbed in sepia then stamped the 3 different size trees from my clarity stamps, such gorgeous stamps. I strung them together and put at a slight angle for a bit of perspective. finished with a bit of lace, button and safety pin. Thanks for stopping by to look and your comments mean so much. Hugs All Sandra X

I'm with you on tearing up books Sandra - I've yet to do it! Your tag is fabulous, love those three mini tags and the little touch of lace. xx

Beautiful tag Sandra love those trees.
Love Sue and the Taylor pack plus Belle
This is a beautiful tag Sandra--I am a tree hugger as well--I even showed a picture of me hugging the tree I used for the challenge lol
Love Chrissie xx
Sandra - I have a solution for you. Why not photocopy some pages from a book and then you can use those for tearing. That way you would not harm the book at all.
I love using torn script in my work but I keep forgetting to do it. Thanks for reminding me about it with your delightful tree tag.
Thanks also for joining us at Artful Times.
Hugs, Neet x
