DRAGONS DREAM T.I.O


We have a new challenge to share with you today at DRAGONS DREAMS......
This time, it is the wonderful Wanda's turn to choose the subject matter, and her book is called
"Bird Song" - set in WW1. So you can create a tag with a war theme/birds/ lost love..... take inspiration as i did from the book or just from the title......BIRDSONG.
I have never read the book but i have seen the cover..... remember you must make a TAG and it must have at least one real STAMP used on it somewhere.
I started iut with a kraft coloured tag that i stamped, then masked repeatedly in grey ink..... my background is made up from 5 different stamped images...then i stamped barbed wire over top in black.... i roughly coloured my background with distress inks. I searched my colection of stamps but had nothing suitable for my main image so i drew a similar image to the one on the front of the book onto thin paper...cut it out...coloured it all black with a promarker and stuck it onto my tag.
I hope you'll be able to join us this fortnight.

I shall enter the following challenges
