Well hello from the wild and windy
North! My name is Jennie and I am
absolutely thrilled to be here this month as Guest Designer alongside such an
amazing Design Team. Thank you so much Vicki
for inviting me.
Today I am sharing an oriental tag showcasing
these two wonderful birds from the graphic45 Bird Song Collection.
I inked up a Size 10 tag with Ranger Distress Inks in Spiced
Marmalade, Rusty Hinge and Fired
Brick. I made a mask from Post It Notes
for the sun and used a Crafters Workshop Leaf Mask in the lower part of the tag. I then stamped some Chinese Text (a Craft
Stamper Freebie many moons ago!) in Fired Brick.
I fussy cut the birds from one of the
labels on the sheet and used foam pads to give a little definition. Then it was all about decorating around the
birds. All these pieces came from the graphic45 Tranquility sheet which is full of labels, stamps and borders. It really is a quite beautiful sheet to use.
I made a little fan from some Chinese paper
in my stash and added the srim and
blossoms. Again just some old tiny white
flowers I found in my stash which benefited from the addition of some
stamens.
I had a lot of fun making the tag as
“oriental” is not something I normally do, but graphic45 papers are always wonderful to work with.
Thanks for looking and I look forward to
seeing you later in the month with another project.

such a super inked background which makes the perfect back drop for the Graphic 45 papers.
Wow, this is amazing!! I totally love the background with that sun placed so perfectly behind the birds (well of course you put the birds in front of the sun, but it just looks so cool!) great background stamping too and perfect embellishing, love the addition of the little fan! Very inspiring all round!
That background is so beautiful. Gorgeous details and images. Also just added some new ephemera and bird image freebies at my blog if you wanted to nab them :)
have a lovely day Jennie
