“Quoth the Winter Raven, Nevermore”
Tag by Leigh

I've had lots of fun playing with Tim's Stacked Tags dies for this hop and here's one more for my finale project featuring the gorgeous and mysterious The Winter Raven.


I printed The Winter Raven out twice and used one to die cut the main tag panel to create the background and the 2nd to fussy cut out the winged creature.  I used Mustard Seed, Ground Walnut Stain, Tea Dye, Peacock Feathers, Stormy Sky, Weathered Wood, Black Soot and Fired Brick Distress Inks to watercolour paint the background and the Raven with touches of watersoluable crayons and Ranger white gel pen highlights.


Tilt and move the tag and the magical snow storm she's walking through appears!  I created this stunning effect by watering down silver Midas Spectrum Noir gilding wax with water and randomly splattered the painting after I adhered the Raven to the background with black foam tape.


I made the base tag and layer from brown and black cardstock and covered the entire tag with 2 die cuts of Tim's Tangled Twigs to add wonderful texture.


For a fun twist I used Tim's Gearhead dies as "Snowflakes" and Tim's Crochet die to decorate the bottom of the tag and enhance the femininity of the Raven.  I used silver and bronze gilding wax to colour the gears and silver gilding wax to edge all the tags and enhance the crochet too.


Thank you for joining us for our 5th Edgar Allan Poe Appreciation Blog Hop😘
