T Stands For Tuesday and Tag Tuesday!


"Create in me a clean heart, God, , and renew a right spirit within me." Ps. 51:10



Happy T Day!  Well almost!  Last week when I visited Valerie, I read about the new Tag Tuesday challenge to make a tag with anything involving the sea.  I was inspired!  I usually don't make tags, but I did want to play with my TH embossing glaze.  So, decided play with it on tags.  Here is one of my tags.

 I love this technique!  I stamped my images with distress inks, then I dabbed VersaMark all over the tag.  Then I put different colors of embossing glaze over the tag, and heat embossed.  I added the starfish charm and the fiber, and the TH phrases. The embossing glaze is translucent, so you can see your stamping through it.
Love the shine!  Fun to play!

















I thought you would be able to see the color of  embossing glaze, but you only see the price, which is not what I paid.  They were in fact  basically free.  The colors are Broken China, Weathered Wood, Tattered Rose.  The name of the stamp set is Seaside Chair by Stampendous.


That is my entry for Tag Tuesday!  Love the theme!

Now for the T Party this week over at Altered Book Lover where our hostess for TSFT is Elizabeth.  She hostesses this lovely party every Tuesday and we join her with a drink related post.  Although I got a wonderful ATC from Karen this week, for our swap to celebrate the TSFT 7th Anniversary, I think our reveal is next week!  Here is my tea that I am having while posting my blog.  I am drinking Bigelow Toasted Coconut Almond Bark.  It is one of my favorites, and I am drinking it out of one of my favorite cups


I took  a photo of it upside down so you could see who it was by,  before I made my tea! LOL.  I bought this in Canada,  several years ago on a cruise . Have a Happy Tag Tuesday and a Happy T Day!  Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate it.

Wow, Sharon, what a gorgeous tag, and you have made me very happy that you have joined in Tag Tuesday, thanks a lot, much appreciated. I've never tried that glaze, it gives a wonderful finish. Love your rose-mug, so beautiful! Have a good week, stay safe and happy T Day! Hugs, Valerie

That's a stunning tag, Sharon. Your use of those glazes looked like the turtle was swimming under the sea. I've never heard of those glazes before, but they are beautiful.

Your rose mug is gorgeous. I can see why it's a favorite. That fine bone china wouldn't last at my house because I'm such a klutz. But it's a genuine beauty and I'm so glad you shared your tea and lovely roses mug with us for T this week, dear friend.

English floral china patterns are really great -- what a nice tradition. I have one little cup & saucer set that my mother bought on a long-ago visit to Toronto, and it has roses on it as well. I don't think that mugs had become popular back then.

be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

Beautiful tag. I always love sea theme art. I thought that rose was a Redoute, and sure enough, it was. Great mug. Happy T-Day!

Gorgeous colors on the tag especially the shimmer. Your teacup is very pretty and I love coconut so will have to keep my eyes peeled for the Bigelow Toasted Almond Bark. Take care and Happy T Day

Love your tag and the embossing glaze looks amazing. I like the ribbon you used to tie it off too. Love your tea cup and I bet your tea is delicious. I lean more toward coffee, although I am having iced tea on this hot afternoon. Thanks for sharing your creativity! Beautiful work.
