Discover

Hello fellow Crafters,

This is my second posting for today, I also made this tag :

 
I started with Gesso which I coloured with a few drops of Distress Ink (from a reinker bottle). I used Scattered straw. I then used one of my new stamps from Tim Holtz: the hot air balloon and stamped it with StaZon on the tag. After that I decided to use the place/streetname stamp again. I stamped it over the top of the balloon and clear embossed it. I then rubbed the whole think lightly with brown Archival Ink which made it stand out a bit more. I used the same ink around the egdes.
I then stamped the balloon again on patterned paper and cut out the balloon itself and the basket. I clear embossed these bits and glued them on the tag. I used a marker to colour the flag and sandbags.
The word 'discover' is a sticker and after matting the tag on some brown cardstock a black ribbon finished it off.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Hope you like it .....

  2. Corrie, the is absolutely beautiful. First, I love your vintage color palette...my absolutely favorite of all time, of course! But, mostly, I love how you painstakingly "decorated" your balloon with what I thought was fabric--creatively done with patterned paper instead. You put a lot of creativity and energy into this small space, and it paid off big time!
