I colored the image with Promarkers. The background was made using one of the "due date library cards" I got from Mimi. I covered it with with white gesso beafore I covered the front with green gelatos. The smudge in the middle was made using a splatter stamp from a stamp set I got from Donna. I was trying out using my gelatos with water for stamping for the first time. It didn't quite come out as planned, but I was lucky this time - smudge suits better than splatters here. I also randomly stamped some words on the background.
I machine stitched around the edges using really small stitches, added an eyelet, ribbon and twine.
Wishing you alll a great weekend!

You are making fabulous backgrounds with gesso and gelatos, Pia!! This is a technique that I have to try. And your first try on stamping with gelatos and water looks really amazing! You have had a brilliant result, full of interest!! This is an amazing tag! Love these shades of green, the denim ribbon with the string and the stitching! The soldier is fun and cute!
Well this is amazing!
