Leftover paint tag...

Morning!
As I generally do after I've created something painty, the leftover paint gets sponged/smeared/scraped onto something else so as not to waste it. This tag evolved from one of those 'extra' painty surfaces, this time a tag. Once it was done, I liked it better than the canvas the leftover paint came from!!!
The background was created by scraping (with a palette knife) lime, turquoise and purple paint over the tag. This needs to be done in layers, making sure each colour is dry before adding the next. I lightly brayered the tag with black paint in between layers too. Lots of stamping using paint to add texture and detail....
The image is a Stampotique, and to add that little extra I've given her stamped acetate wings....
She stands on a stamped filmstrip border, and I've used a teeny phrase to finish.
I have published a DVD going through my painty background techniques, should you be inspired to have a go but don't know where to start....check out the link on the sidebar!!!!
OK, shameless self promotion bit over!!!!
I'm linking up with two challenges today....
Simon Says Stamp And Show - 'paint it up'.....
Fashionable Stamping Challenges - 'anything goes'

Have a great day,
Love Trish xxx

    Wow Trish, I love your tag, the colours and textures are amazing and that image is perfect on it with her lovely wings. Since I was not lucky enough to win your DVD (lol)I am off to buy it, your work is inspirational and you should publicise it! Crafty hugs, Anne x

    Wow oh wow! I totally love your tag! The background is amazing! That canvas that created the leftovers for this tag must have been awesome as well, if you like the tag better! :) That Stampotique image is perfect against the turquoise, black and purple background. I love all the stamped patterns, too. Thanks so much for sharing your art with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy

    Gorgeous! Love the BG and her wings. I think I need to switch my 'mopping up' system to tags rather than journal pages... I do love the base for a journal page but this looks like much quicker satisfaction!

    Isn't it strange we set out to create one project and do another along the way and the 2nd project turns out better than the original. Congratulations it is brilliant I love it. Love the colours too.

    If I manage to achieve anything as fab as that tag with my new goodies (which arrived on Wednesday, Thanks) I’ll be more than happy. The colours look amazing. I haven’t had a chance to look at the DVD yet as I was Moorefield’s Eye hospital all day yesterday but today is a different matter!
    Happy Crafting!

    Hi
    Wonderful use of leftovers (it is amazing how far leftovers can stretch).
    Great build up of layers on the background alone.
    Thank you for joining us at FSC.
    Wishes

    Make sure to store the paint in a cool area, like a pantry, utility closet or laundry room. If the paint is stored in warm or hot temperatures, or exposed to direct sunlight, it may become separated and unsuitable for any future use.
