Ali CT - Rainbow Coloured Tag

This week I'm blogging this tag, used my favourite colours and a few of the fab Bee Crafty Art stamps. It was an ace inky, de-stressing afternoon.

So here's what I did...

I took a size 10 Dina Wakely media tag, large surface area to work on (8 1/2" x 4 1/4") and chose 3 dye based ink pads, Lemon Tonic, Fuchsia and Ocean Blue Harmony inks. Distress inks would work just as well.

I added yellow ink to a few sections.

Then pink, blending in with the yellow in places to make orange.

Finally added the blue going over the pink and yellow inks to make purple and green.

I tapped water over the tag, left it for half a minute and blotted it with kitchen towel to faux bleach.

I dried it with a heat gun then stamped a couple of the mandalas from Mandalas 1 in black versafine going across and down the card in a curving line.

Next I used one of the Dinkables set 10 to add a couple of chains at the top and bottom using black ink.

Then stencilled some of the black splatty flower heads, also in set 10 - following the curve of the mandalas.

I used Villanous Potion distress oxide to stamp the 2 line of hearts and the small splatty flower from the Journaling Girls Sam set.

I stamped the Be Silly words onto a scrap of white card using black versafine ink and clear heat embossed. Coloured around the words with a black pen then cut them out.

I used a white gel pen to add a highlight to the hearts, around the edge of the mandala, and the bits in the centres. Then filled in the hearts using a clear stardust jelly roll pen and added sparkly lines to loads of the intersections in the stamped mandalas.
