There are many blogs I enjoy and I have always hesitated in pushing that button to follow them but in January I came across TAG TUESDAY on Carolyn Saxby's blog LOVE STITCHING RED and I was determined to take part.
This weeks theme is 'hearts' and here is my first tag.
I painted the tag with acrylic paint and stained it with a tea bag. The heart is tyvek and organza which I stitched together with free hand machchine embroidery and melted with a heat gun.
Beneath the heart is a layer of crumpled brown paper and gold foil fused together with painted bondaweb.
At the bottom I stamped the words' TATTERED HEART' and overlayed them with a piece of organza.
Hope you like my first offering will be back soon with some posts.
Bye for now. xx
a really gorgeous tag for our heart theme Carol. I love and appreciate all those layers as they are all materials I love to work with also. Beautiful colours ... look forward to seeing more posts. Best wishes, Carolyn ♥

ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely use of materials Carol, and congratulations on your first post! I have only been going for a year and I am not technically minded either, but you learn such a lot as you go along, so very best wishes for future blogs! x
