For the texture component. I firstly dry embossed one side of the tag. This was then versamarked and heat embossed using one of my favourite products, Pipe Dreamink Opals embossing enamels. Other sections of the tag were treated to a free form of marking, again using Opals.

Russell Falls Tasmania |
I ruched up some blue organza, added some open weave wool in variegated tans/ browns, to represent water and rocks, then sewed on some strips of green and silver fibre wools to represent vegetation and sparkles on the water.
Some sewn on pearl shell discs in olive green, aquamarine and bronze colours and sparkly brad, completed the background. Also swooshed a bit of Marvy Markers around the tag edge.
Topping off the layering, I added some mini-photos of Russell Falls and Horseshoe Falls found in Mt Fields National Park, Tasmania. I had fun doing this, and I've had an Aha moment about a layout I want to do.
Thank you for dropping by, Di.
Di, this is a beautiful tag full of texture, gorgeous colour and I just love those little pictures of the waterfalls. (I had to enlarge your picture when I read that they were there - such a lovely touch!) I particularly like how you've incorporated the fibres into your tag too - the whole thing has movement and energy which was inspired by the falls I assume.

Me again Di without my ABAC hat on. Firstly, thanks for visiting and following my blog - I shall return the favour and keep in touch with your lovely work. Secondly, you might want to remove your word verification thingy and go for blog owner approval of comments - many challenge blogs won't comment if you use the word verification and it would be a great shame if they didn't look at your work. At least if you have to approve the comments before they go on your blog, you have control of what is published. (hope you don't mind me saying this!).Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
