Experimenting play time

Hello. Here's a tag made with the idea of experimenting. Over on the Paper Artsy Blog Darcy has treated us all to lots of different projects and ideas especially part one which really pushed home to try colours out and experiment. So that's what I did with this tag, and also combining it with challenges at Tando Creative Inspired by an Artist (Da Vinci Nude portraits) and The Artistic Stamper Lady's day.stampotique designers Challenge 110 tag you're it
I've used Paper Artsy stamps Nude ladies, hot picks map background, squiggly mini, Fresco paints in Baltic blue, claret, beach hut, crackle glaze and grunge paste.
I've stamped onto acetate, made heart from utee and a silicone heart ice cube tray. The tag I've started with tissue paper, paint and crackle glaze.
I'd be here a wee while explaining it all fully so thought you'd prefer the pictures.
I'd also experimented with colours I wouldn't have used together, mixing some, being fresco finish nnugat, chocolate pudding and limelight and made this background by just scraping on with a pallet knife.

Thanks for stopping by, oh and lovely to have made The Craft Barn walk of fame this week.
Happy crafting
Luv dawn
