Hello Creative Friends,
You may have already seen this sweet Angel I received from my dear friend
Dorthe isn't she heavenly.. Her rich colouration was my inspiration
for today's shared creation...
During my New Year clean up I found these scraps of lace, threads and fabrics
along with some left over Kraft tags from Christmas wrapping, it seemed such a
shame to discard them as together they appear at harmony with each other.
Sewn lace on a hessian tag is enhanced using watercolour brush pens.
These new to me dies create beautiful cuts when using vellum.
The sewn on doily masks the clock face..
a simple message to embrace the moment for time is precious...
just like that handmade button my *New* obsession for 2019
Randomly stamped areas help give depth to those neutral colours
with words from my favourite affirmations set Designed by Lynne Moncrieff,
gently stamped onto tea bag paper and stitched into place.
A handmade embellishment made to represent the gifted Angel is sewn into place,
how the gold of the ribbon matches the golds upon Dorthe's created Angel above.
Those handmade embellishments help put my personal stamp on it.
Completing my First tag of the Year.
I think this tag would make a super cover to a notebook..
Hmmm there's an idea in the making :))
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Creative Hugs & wishes
Tracey xx

Goodness, Tracey. I am truly impressed with your talent. Your latest piece puts my little quiltlets to shame. I love the angel, the way you covered the clock face, and the sewing on the tea bag. Even the monochromatic colors are perfect. I'm IN LOVE with this. Now all I need is a die cutting machine and those awesome dies!
