Hi ,for my blog this week I have a colourful tag to share with you .
My first step was to choose 3 distress oxide colours I tried to go for colours I haven’t use in a while but that Picked Raspberry just keeps creeping into my crafting ! I then randomly inked up the tag , there wasn’t as much difference in the green and yellow as I thought but I liked the result.
I then decided on the Inkables I wanted to use , deciding to remove some of the ink to create some lighter areas . I did this with a slightly damps sponge , dabbing lightly through the chrysanthemum inkable until most of the ink was removed . I added some extra detail with some Blue Print sketch distress ink through the script inkable and again mowed grass distress ink though the diamond D'inkable .
Having decided to use the Journaling Essentials #8 art stamp set . I used some of the smaller stamps in the same colours of distress inks all ready used , to add to my background .
To complete my background I used a pink and green posca pen to add some small hearts and lines which I further added to with a white gel pen .
Finally I added a stitched boarder with a black fine liner .
Next , it was time to stamp out 3 of these large flowers from the same Journaling Essentials stamp set .
Then using the distress inks used for the background and a fine brush I coloured the flowers allowing the colours to blend into each other to create different shades / colours and to give a water colour effect.
My sentiment was chosen from the Ticker tape 1 stamp set .
Every thing was then stuck down , as usual after trying out various different combinations, decisions , decisions !
I hope you like my tag , I’m really happy with how it turned out .
