BIRTHDAY TAGS

Hello and a great big warm welcome to each of you 
here I am today sharing my March project for 
Dusty Attic blog 
This month I am showcasing two tags I created recently
one Feminine and one Masculine 


Feminine Tag
softly pastel 
DUSTY ATTIC materials used .
Laurel sprigs/ DA1469

Now for my second tag 
RICH and EARTHY Masculine Tag
with a cycling theme .

DUSTY ATTIC MATERIALS USED .
Masculine Tag

Number Panel Large  /DA1050
Geometric Corners /DA1030
Dusty in Color SunBurnt Orange/DA0906
Dusty In Color Hot Chocolate  /DA0923

I made this BirthdayTag for our son-in-law 
Jair is a cyclist and I wanted to create a tag with a cycling feel to it .
his bike is a red and black Macini 
He rode in the January tour down under .
The geometric corners,  the black paper and arrows mimic the roads
The cogs are on the bike 
the string represents the shoelaces 
Jair celebrated his 42nd Birthday . 


To achieve this deep rich orange I used two colors 
I mixed Sunburnt Orange with a tiny amount of Hot Chocolate . 
Finished with clear gloss
Dusty in Color clear gloss varnish /DA0901
Dusty in color SunBurnt Orange/DA0906
Dusty In Color Hot Chocolate  /DA092





thanks so much for popping by 
and I do hope you are inspired to have a play with these beautiful 
chippies .
big hugz until we meet again
love Heather J.

  7. Dues targetes precioses. M'encanten! És molt difícil fer quelcom masculí i que cada detall signifiqui una cosa.
