I LOVE using Lace in my projects...
...so had fun making this weeks tag.
Here is my 'Lace' tag
for
Made from a Manila tag wrapped in vintage lace.
I experimented with a rub-on transfer on to some cheesecloth.
added vintage buttons, charms, broken jewellery, distressed paper and a little tag.
Looking forward to next weeks theme...'Hearts'
-oOo-
and now for a reveal.....
I can show this as the lovely Jenny in Australia has received it now...
My first chunky ATC
I was inspired by Jenny after seeing her beautiful Art Blocks
...and was so lucky to beable to trade with her.
This is what I created for Jenny
I drew the Angel, and coloured with water colour pencils, paints and PaperArtsy Fresco finish paints.
Crackle paint, lace, wings, heart, crown charm and vintage buttons.
....drawer knob, doily and I found this vintage velvet yoyo in my stash and thought it would top it off nicely!
Thanks again Jenny for a wonderful trade!
I want to make another one now!!.....
Thanks for peeking
and for all your lovely comments...

Oh WOW and oh WOW!
The tag theme is right up your street this week! Superb tag, it's so lush I want to roll around in it (ok, that's a bit silly but you know what I mean!).
Your chunky ATC is wonderful - I love the soft colours, crackle, gorgeous angel and embellishments. I really like how you've got buttons 'attaching' the wings onto the block. Great idea.

I love your style and have really enjoyed browsing your blog. The ATC is great - I love all the bits and bobs you put on your work. I'm also doing Tag Tuesday and thank you for the kind comments you made about my tags - much appreciated. I am sure I shall pop back here to see what else you are up to art wise!
Jan you have a lovely site.Thanks for commenting on my tag for Tag Tuesday...yep I'm going to embellish to the max...!!!
Gorgeous!
I love your chunky ATC! I love the colors you used and the knob on top. I hope you make some more & share them with us. They look like loads of fun!! :)
I was speechless when I saw your tag with all its wonderful lace. All done in that style you do so well.. But then when I scrolled down and saw your chunky ATC. Now I am really speechless. Your work is stunning. your painting looks amazing.
Hugs, Linda
wow Jan this is gorgeous. I never knew what a chunky ATC was, now I do.
Did you paint the W/C pencil angel right on the wood or did you paint her on paper and cut and glue on the wood block. Enquiring minds need to know.
Love all the details and your tag, well what can I say.
Love your work, keep creative my dear friend.

lace is such a great ingredient and you have used it brilliantly for your pretty tag dear Jan

Wow Jan, what a veritable feast for the eyes!!!
Your tag is beyond gorgeous - I love how your image transfer worked - perfectly! Love the choice of image too.
I saw your chunky ATC on Jenny's blog - it's stunning!!!! Do chunky ATCs have to be the size as regular ATCs (just with a lot of depth)? I'd love to make one, but don't think I could match your wonderful standards.
Take care xx
Oh My Gosh Jan... your tag is exquisite... I just adore the vintage lace... the charms... the buttons... it is beautiful...
AND I just adore my gorgeous art block... 'Angel' sits in my craft room where I can look at her often...
I LOVE trading with you... your work is stunning...
Hugs
