June Tag: Summer Skies..

Opps I nearly forgot to post this.. the year is speeding along so fast and as some of you may remember it's my own personal challenge to replicate those mini instructions from a previous challenge and create a new Tag each month.

Here in words and pictures is my June Tag:

I first covered a Size #8 Tag in White Gesso and covered in a layer of Blue Shimmer paint, when dry I painted a layer of Turquoise Shimmer paint over the top and made marks in the wet paint with the end of a paintbrush. Structure paste was then pushed through a Butterfly stencil.


Lace was added for collage and covered with a coating of matt medium.
A coating of Yellow Shimmer Paint over the whole tag gives a warm yellow glow but still allows the colours underneath to show through..
I dripped/Flicked white Gesso over the Tag.. (no idea where the pink came from..
*Note to self.. wash paint brushes out better!!)


Stencilled layers are applied using the TC Brick
background and vintage photo distress ink.
The whole tag is covered with Clear Gesso and little stamps
 are stamped randomly over the tag.


Using a Paperartsy image left over from some recent cards I made
 I fussy cut and glued the image onto the tag.
I doodled around the edges of the tag, adding glitter glue to the stamped image
and a touch of gilding wax (just couldn't resist..!) around the tags edge.
Finally I added the words Summer Skies from the same Paperartsy stamp set.

My June Tag is now complete.


I can not believe that this tag now takes me half way through the year and my personal challenge and I have to say each time I make one using those mini prompts
 it is a real pleasure of a make.

Thank you so much for visiting, taking time and interest.
I look forward as always to sharing more words and pictures with you all very soon.

Take good care of yourselves.
Creative Hugs Tracey xx

This is a beautiful tag Tracey, I LOVE your stencilling, and those shimmer paints look yummy. I had to laugh at your pink, every time I pick up a paintbush I have the 'must clean it better' conversation with myself. Have a fun weekend xx
