Guest Designer - Jess Madaglia

Please say hello and give a warm welcome to our Guest Designer for the 'Knock on Wood' challenge, Jess Madaglia.  Jess was the top pick for the 'All You Need Is Love' challenge and can be found on her blog, Two Mad Dahlias.

Hi, My name is Jess Madaglia. I am a Boston girl now living in Arizona with my husband, daughter, and four kitties. I am a mixed media artist that specializes in grunge and snark. I'm a retail manager by day and a crafter by night.

I created a spring tag inspired by the warm weather we’ve been having here in Arizona. I used a medium sized Tim Holtz etc tag as my base and added wood elements in the form of a Tom Holtz Ideaology ruler, a vignette box, and a framed panel. Lots of flowers can be found blooming all over the tag.

I used Distress crayons (Vintage Photo, Black Soot, and Walnut Stain), Distress paints (Picket Fence, Black Soot, and Tarnished Brass), Distress markers (Mowed Lawn, Spun Sugar, and Broken China), Distress Collage medium, Tim Holtz wallflower paper, Tim Holtz typography letters, Prima flowers, vintage flowers, cheese cloth, Tim Holtz decorative tape (Rose), Tim Holtz industrious stickers, Tim Holtz alcohol ink (mushroom and gold), Distress spray stain ink (tea dye and walnut stain), Ideaology beaded berries, Ranger texture paste, and a Scalloped Mandala stencil from The Crafters Workshop.
