Howdy Crafters - Basically - I have lost my MoJo so I am doing what I need to do to get it back - trying something NEW!!I have been wanting to use the Textured Paste I ordered along with some other supplies I have in my crafting place that have not been opened - so here is what I ended up creating - a Christmas Textured Mixed Media Tag.
My Inspiration came from viewing the blog postings by Anna-Karin - CLICK here to see her lovely Textured Tag -
I only had a handful of the supplies Anna-Karin used, but I am good with the results of my Mixed Media Tag from her inspiration.
I have little patience waiting for things to DRY! Sometimes, a heat gun is good but other times it is best to WAIT - so I waited...

ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lot of painty fun making your mixed media tag, Gail! Love to hear Anna-Karin inspired you for this project! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome, painty make with us at SImon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, Maura
ReplyDeleteThis tag is gorgeous Gail! I am so happy to hear you were inspired by my post, and had fun with the paste and paint. Thank you so much for your kind words. The texture paste background came out so cool! And I too do not enjoy waiting for things to dry! Sometimes I apply paste just before I go to bed, so that I won't have to wait for it to dry. :) I like the color combo that you used and the fun sentiment. Happy crafting! / Anna-Karin
