I'm still playing catch up with posting some of my recent bits and bobs. These projects, a tag and an art journal page, are two that I wanted to share.
In a recent post I mentioned the wonderful Veerle Moreels (A Coloured Mind blog). Well these two projects were totally inspired by one of her blog posts . When I watched Veerle's video I was completely in awe. I loved the project so much I was desperate to try it for myself, not least because it introduced me to new techniques. Pebeo gilding flakes/leaves for one. This was a product I hadn't used before and now I struggle not to use it in everything I make!
( Veerle, I sincerely hope you are flattered and not mortified at my blatant copying of your post. So I know where my inspiration came from and to acknowledge your artwork, I've attached another tiny tag to the jumping attaching my tiny date tag).
Please take time to have a look at Veerle's blog and particularly the blog video (https://youtu.be/d3wnNksI8tI ).... you won't be disappointed.
Here are a few more pictures of my efforts........
First a couple of pictures of the brickwork on my journal page

The thistles growing by the wall ...... These were stamped in Old Olive Stamping Up Ink, then a little shading with a fine detail paintbrush and finally a touch of SU Dazzling Detail.
The gauze behind the wire was coloured using the same acrylic paint (Indigo Blue) and Distress Ink (Hickory Smoke) that I used to colour both the background and wall. The mess or wire is gilded with the silver Pebeo gilding flakes I mentioned earlier. The fine detail glue applicator is prefect to precise application of the gilding flakes.
And finally this is a picture of my tag.... slightly different from the journal page in that I added the title of a Pink Floyd song as my sentiment. I should mention that the wall was cut using a Ranger die and the mess is the left over waste once the bricks are removed.
A HUGE thank you to Veerle for sharing her art and inspiration.
Have a lovely day crafting
Carol. xx
