Not surprisingly this weeks Tag Tuesday theme is Diamond Jubilee!
I found this wonderful stamp in my stash and decided it had to be used when I saw the words Jubilee Jamboree on it.
I really love the colour red, especially when it is used in small amounts as an accent colour - I think it has such an impact - so I decided to keep the tones of the tag fairly neutral in order to emphasize the stamp. In order to stop it becoming too bland I also added one piece of bright red bunting.
After a Jubilee weekend full of fetes, picnics, fly-pasts, fireworks, a hog-roast, live music, aching feet and much, much more I am now off to watch the rest of the celebrations live on TV!
Love your Jubilee tag! It's very elegant, but still festive :)
ReplyDeleteYour tag couldn't be more perfect! It was meant to be that you didn't use that stamp until now. I too love a little red as an accent, especially in combination with the creams and taupes that you used.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying the Jubilee on TV - I'll never forget that the first time I was in England when I was very young was around the time of her silver jubilee...I still have a mug from it...
amazing job done! the red really stands out so beautifully!

PS Sorry - just noticed you'd left me another comment too! I'm so glad you like my fan - I must get that post uploaded... The Inktense pencils are just gorgeous. As for feeling better, I'm rubbish again today - but it's been great just resting in front of the TV and watching our wonderful Queen being appreciated by all her people - I got pretty emotional about it all! Wasn't it all just wonderful?
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW, even if you haven't actually signed up this week!!

Thanks for your latest lovely comment, Diana - glad you like the detailed pics of the zentangles. At the moment I'm working on some more traditional "tile" type zentangles to be made up into cards for a craft show that's coming up.
