Hello everyone,
What a beautiful day here in NZ this morning, a crisp sharp frost then the sun came out and we were back in summer time..
Today is LITTLE RED WAGON day and time for a new challenge and our fabulous Kate is hostess. continuing with her Elton John challenges, and this weeks theme is....Don't let the sun go down on me - include a sun.
So my project this week was whipped up on Wednesday morning as I already showed my project because I had a senior moment and forgot to label a booklet I made with suns in it, nautical style, and when I went into my folder, the folder was bare, and I almost panicked.. I felt like old mother hubbard...
So, decided on tags and ink blending as that was a pretty quick thing to do, and very enjoyable..
4 tags..
yellow distress oxide
A bit of pale blue ( for sky and hopefully not touching the yellow or we would end up with green alien sky..
and a lovely straight line, after masking, of deep blue..
The sun got a mask too and added a deeper yeool..
and the ocean splattered with water to give a white foam effect..
backgrounds done...
time for die cutting, my projects would not be mine if there was no die cutting..
Boats and birds, although that changed from a regatta to a single yacht sailing happily across the bay..
Some memory box waves die cut and glued on, then trimmed..
and there we go..
Four tags done and dusted and 8 hours to spare..
So do come and join us HERE with your sun..
thank you so much for stopping by..
Luv CHRISSYxx

OOh I love mornings like that when the sun comes out and the frost looks all sparkly and magical...reminds me of my son's wedding day!
Love your bright and beautiful tags, so cheerful and full of summer sunshine xx
Gorgeous maritime tags Chrissy. I must laugh about your senior moment....haha.
What a beautiful set of tags Chrissy! I love the blend with the yellow along with the sun peeking around the corner there! The little strip of waves with your boat really add a lovely touch for a fantastic scene! We're getting up to 90 degrees F over our way today...very hot and summery for sure! Have a lovely day my friend!
