Punky Ocean Tag











I haven't done any tag art for a while, so I chose it to create my second entry to the Chocolate Baroque Colour challenge #22.  This is another Steampunk piece, but with an underwater twist.  I have used stamps from CB Steampunk Funky Fish and Steampunk Sea World sets; Distress Inks Twisted Citron, Fossilised Amber, Rusty Hinge, Squeezed Lemonade; Pebeo Iridescent Gold Dyna paint; Tando Creative tag, and Flourish stencil.  I started by painting the tag with a coat of white gesso.  I then blended the green and yellow DI's onto the tag and let them dry.  I stamped two seahorses in black ink and heat embossed them with black powder.  On a piece of white card I did the same with a galleon and a group of sand, rocks and seaweed images.  I then painted all the images with DI's, mixing in a little gold Dyna paint to add some shimmer in places.  I cut out the images from the card.  Next I stamped some bubbles onto the tag, and added ink through a stencil at the top to represent the wind.  I attached the two card images to the tag with dimensional glue.  I added some lovely fibres to complete the artwork.  I've doubled up the photos again to show the different looks with and without a flash.   I really enjoyed doing some tag art again, I shall definitely be doing more soon!
