I got in quick with my Tim Holtz tag for July by cutting the US flag with my Cameo. However, it got me thinking about how to adapt it. As I am Welsh, I wanted a Red Dragon flag...so after a bit of work in Photoshop and with the Silhouette software, here's my second attempt!
I followed Tim's techniques but used green in place of blue DI's and went even made my own Welsh text stamps for the background (it's the national anthem, which incidentally was written and composed in my home town, Pontypridd - and we're very proud of the fact!) The words at the bottom (stamped with my bargain £1 alphabet set) are from the anthem and mean " I am faithful to my country"
I designed the Red Dragon flag and then imported it into the Silhouette software to trace and cut it, then coloured it using Tim's "Shattered Stains" method.
The three daffodils were also cut with my Cammie, coloured with Promarkers and shaped using tools from the Susan's Garden set. (I originally made Susan's daffodil with the Sizzix dies but it was too darn big for the tag). (The toolkit is just brilliant - definitely worth getting.)
I suppose I should have saved this until St David's Day but it's a long time to March 1st and by then I will have forgotten all about it.
Thank you for stopping by - I hope you had a good time!
