WOJ GDT Tag

Hi, hope you have all had a wonderful week end. It was SO wet here but today it's muggy and warm again lol. I saw a post over at Katherina's blog they are making requests for FT and Guest Designers. So i thought I would apply for a GDT position. There are always 100s of applications but I would love two Months with WOJ. I have always loved their stamps and it's nice to use one for this tag. So wish me luck (although I won't hold my breath) lol as there is always very tight competition for these places. So I will also enter this for GSC Marker challenge, as they would like us to use markers in some way and I have used copics to colur my image.



I do have quite a few WOJ stamps but as the theme is 'Summer' I went for some oldies although the brides on swings would look super too! I wanted to make a tag and  think this fits lovely with a Summer theme.


Here is my close up. Isn't she gorgeous? I have coloured her with copic markers and given it a vintage feel by using DI round the edges of the tag and the Nesti scallop die cut. She rests on this die cut with sticky cushions to help lift her up. I have added this charm. I have added some vintage trim and some flowers to the corner of the tag. The blue flower is a chip board piece sanded and coloured with ink then dipped in glass glitter. I hope you like this tag. I really enjoyed going all girly and feminine ;0) Love Dawn xx

Items Used:- Stamps WOJ. Design Papers (DPs) My Minds Eye. Charm, stash. Colored with Copics. Tim Holts Distress inks (DI) Jumbo eyelet Stampin Up (SU) Flowers, Hobby Craft & Orchard crafts. Glass Glitter Altered Element. Vintage trim stash.

This tag is gorgeous, I love the roses and the colouring you did on the girl is really nice. I was surprised when you said you used markers because the end result looks like pencil because of the blending!

I love the flowers - it looks so vintage-y-like, particularly with her muted colored clothing. I think it is a lovely piece of art! I always enjoy my visits to your blog!
