all about making time for another Compendium challenge! This week we're playing with metal and alcohol inks.
I started off with a tag that I had stained with coffee grounds. The tag almost looks burnt in some places - a really cool effect! I stamped Tim's image
(Just Thoughts) in Black archival ink and colored in some of the letters with permanent markers. Glossy Accents was applied over those letters. Along the edge I stamped a mini harlequin border
(Artful Things) with Versamark. I brushed Capuccino Perfect Pearls over the border and brushed off the extra, making sure to wipe off heavier in some spots.
The house is air dry clay that I cut with a cookie cutter then pressed into an embossing folder. I distressed the edges with Black Soot then added Black Soot and silver Rub & Buff to the embossed portion. The edges of the tag were also distressed with Black Soot. The pen nibs (a neat find at an antique store) were treated to the technique that can be found on page 56.
I have to come to some of your antique shops!
