Industrial at Countryview Crafts Challenge

Hello Lovelies - I can't believe its the first of March - how did that happen??? This year is already speeding away faster than ever - must be my age!

Today sees the start of a new challenge at countryviewchallenges - this month the theme has been set by the lovely Debs and is Industrial - In my first piece I went for a tag - I hope you like it:

I had lots of fun making this tag - I used distress paints to create the tag background - I blobbed several colours (salty ocean, shaded lilac, tumbled glass and weathered wood) onto a craft sheet, spritzed with water and then swooshed my tag through and then dried.

The flowers were created using metal-foil-tape-sheets from ranger and tattered-florals die -by-tim-holtz. I also used some industrial brads. The look was achieved using Tims industrious metal technique that involved using an embossing folder, the metal sheets and some black soot distress paint.  I also used the sizzix-frameworks-die---chevron also by Tim Holtz to cut the design at the bottom of the tag.

Lots of fun! I do hope you are inspired by my make and can manage to join us this month - you might win a £20 voucher to spend at countryviewcrafts!

Big hugs to you!
