The pages of the calendar flip by with much speed
and I have again been industrious in the craft room.
This time I have a 3 in 1 project to share that
is a set of marine inspired tags using again
Marine Life Tag Trio
I found some patterned paper that would suit a
marine theme and stuck them to both sides of the
The idea here with these stencilled backs took me back
was very symbolic again of what to expect miles from
days since past where fishermen used them for navigation.
Here is the reverse side of the tags and after applying
paper I stencilled using modelling paste.
I was so impressed with the stencils that in the future
I intend to further showcase the texture of a wide range from
I first placed a piece of left over coloured gauze over
patterned paper to set the marine look.
Following that I utilised 3 stamps that I coloured & glossed
whilst creating a bit of depth by adding a border to each,
these were positioned on the tag to best enhance
actual shells gave the 3 dimensional feel I was looking to capture.
Again, the gauze was used to give a fishing net appearance
over the patterned paper but this time the stamped images I
used were cut out and coloured with a sort of scientific
labelling of each and each were clear glossed.
I tried to tie the tags into the theme by utilising similar products
on each by way of using marine flora & fauna.
Often with nautical themes you find stars and star fish so
A few micro shells finished the tag off nicely.
There was no gauze on this one but the checkered
patterned paper background seemed sufficient to me
and also allowed me to better showcase the fact that I used
seahorses in each tag with different techniques.
This time by applying a clear gloss over select parts.
With every boat there always has to be seagulls somewhere
I also added the licence number on the hull for a realistic look.
Also from the same pack was the seaweed.
