Hello from a dismal Cornwall today :( At least we haven't had those storms but then I love a good storm!!!
Today I am showing you my tag for this weeks TAG IT ON CHALLENGE . The lovely Frankie asked us to use ALCOHOL INKS & ACETATE this week and I got so carried away I nearly forgot to use a stamp.....ooooops!!!
I used a pice of corrigated cardboard for the base of this, painting it with coloured acrylic then a light coat of white. I attached my piece of inked acetate and then added flowers & leaves. The stamp is from a selection of freebies that I got from the retreat I went to so thank you to whoever donated those XXX
Thank you for looking today, HUGS XXX

This is gorgeous, Karen. The inks look like a summer garden, I love it. You've inspired me to get my inks out again and have a play.

Love the abstract garden effect of the alcohol inks, fab tag!
ahh great idea Karen - I was wondering how you managed to get such good coverage on a piece of corrugated card - I didn't spot the acetate straight away dohhh
The inks have worked really well on this Karen. Great!
:)
Great idea - did you corrugate the acetate too or is that just effect laid over the white..clever!
Ha ha fancy nearly forgetting to stamp... hey your name isn't Chris by any chance is it... sounds like the sort of thing I do :D
Anyway tis a gorgeous tag missus and I love how you used corrigated cardboard for the base... clever idea and it looks brilliant!!
hugs
Chris xx
Corrrrrrrrrr gorgeous! Have got brain drain at the mo! Love Elizabeth xxx
What a superb take on the theme! I love the texture of the corrugated tag, which makes the alcohol inks on the acetate stand out even more. Great idea with the acrylic paints too. Thanks for taking part over on TIO this week with my challenge as guest designer.
oh super tag hun really love the effect the inks have on this hugs cheryl xxxx
Karen, your tag is fantastic. So gorgeous. I love the background.
Wow! Your tag is breathtaking. It looks like a watercolor. Beautiful work!
That's unusual with the corrugated card, but works perfectly - fab tag x
you do make me laugh with your comments lol Have a fun day ju x
I have corrugated cardboard. I have acetate. I have alcohol inks. I may just have to try this technique. I really love the results and would never have seen the transparency had you not mentioned it.
I love this tag! Thank you for commenting on my blog. embroidering your daughters graduation pillow sound like a ton of work!!
