Tag Tuesday - catch-up!

Spring Flowers






Spring Flowers:
I have been very lazy and haven't been uploading my Tag Tuesday tags recently so here is a job lot!
This is my tag for 'Spring Flowers'.  


Finders Keepers
Found Objects






Found Objects - I found the driftwood, shell and pottery on the beach at Northam, Bideford which is my home town and one of the North Devon's Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  I discovered after a bit of Googling that the piece of stoneware is part of an old ginger beer bottle.  They were made in the 1920s so this one hasn't travelled very far in all that time! They are quite collectable if you mange to find a whole one.

Northam Burrows and Westward Ho!


Gardening




Gardening Tag
Mary, Mary, Quite contrary,
how does your garden grow
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row.

Purple










Purple:  for this tag I used a Dulux paint colour card trimmed to the same size as a regular tag.  I used the trimmings to make the 'I love Purple' cut-outs.

Tag Tuesday - Poetry & Prose

This week for Tag Tuesday I made my tag using card offcuts from another project.  The tag was painted with acrylics and inks and sprayed with cosmic shimmer mist.  I painted the offcuts with various different purple mediums such as Derwent inktense, nail varnish, and acrylic paint. I also added a bit of shot silk and purple satin ribbon.  As purple is my signature colour, I signed it with a purple fingerprint.
