Summer's Serenity

This week I was swept away by the sweet serenity of summer and have made a tag using the Artistic Outpost Serenity set.  Starting with a jumbo manila tag, I brushed it with gesso and then sponged it with sunny Mustard Seed.  Then Wendy Vecchi white embossing paste was stenciled on and when dry, was sponged with Walnut Stain plus a little Walnut Stain was sponged around all the edges.  The stamping was done with Potting Soil archival ink, both on the tag and a scrap of vellum.

The sentiment banner was first stamped with the sentiment, then the flourish from Serenity was stamped with embossing ink and clear embossed. Once that was done, it was sponged with Walnut stain.

I used Vintaj paints to give the peacock a verdigris patina.   My tag was finished off with some of my favorite filigree metals from The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

Hope you are having a serene summer weekend.
