I'm back! And It's a tag from me today :)
1. I decided to try out the speciality stamping paper from Ranger and cut a tag with it using the Sizzix die. Then stamp the Gibson Girl 4 in Archival black and coloured with Distress Ink walnut stain, tea dye and tattered rose using a cut and dry nib to do so. I then masked the girl by painting over her with Glue and Seal matte for a change and stamped the calligraphy mat 20 in Archival chrome yellow over her.
2. I then proceeded to stamp images from the architecture 1 plate, small bingo card and the labels plate very randomly around the edges using both Archival coffee and sepia.
3. I then coloured the background with Distress Inks in scattered straw and bundled sage before flicking some water drops on and dabbing off....it gives a very clear and defined patch with no ink on it compared to using watercolour paper.
4. I then added more Distress Inks around the edges in darker shades - walnut stain, aged mahogany and tattered the edges adding more walnut stain.
5. Finally I stamped the sentiment from Free your Soul by Donna (love that font) and made a phrase from journaling mini words 1 matted onto black card before adding a bit of bakers twine and an idea-ology muse token.
It's a good thing people can't see what I am imagining at times ROFL :) See you again soon!

What ever was in your imagination certainly worked on this tag, it is beautiful.
ReplyDeletei think it is fandango (the font),I did let Jennie know which font it is, but now I can't remember... don't you think it makes you want that Gibson girl to shake out her hair and let it all loose?
ReplyDeletesame with imagination - it is no use stuck inside peoples heads... it does need to be expressed,
gorgeous tag . love the way her pale face glows

Another of your imaginative tags Sioux, so clever. Sorry, but as I pulled up the comment page I noticed a visitor from Lower Hutt. That's NZ where my cousins live. Whoohoo! Thanks for that on 2 counts - a wonderful piece of art and memories.
