Today I made a tag for the Stampotique Designers Challenge 116: Try a new technique.
Yesterday I took part in a workshop and the techique we did was : resist with heat embossing.
So I thought I use this for this weeks Challenge.
Here is what I made:
I started with a Tim Holtz Manilla tag no. 8 and covered it in gesso. I then use an empty thread bobbin to stamp the circles in Versa Mark. I used clear embossingpowder and then heat embossed it. I then used Distress Inks in pink and purple to cover the tag. The embossed circles stayed white.
I then stamped some script on the tag and used my favorite ring stamp, home made with an O-ring. Midge was stamped on booktext and cut out after which I placed her on the tag on some washitape. I put some more washitape in the top left corner to balance the tag. The sentiment was computer generated and cut out, distressed and glued on the tag. A bit of ribbon and some staples finished it off. Hope you like it......
Great retro feel to this
ReplyDeleteI just love this technique, Corrie! Midge is gorgeous and not at all upstaged by all your background resources (clever to use an O-ring!). Great color combo on the ink sprays! A sweet vintage tag!
