Where does the time go??? The second
Grungy Monday theme is to use Distress Ink with Claudine Hellmuth's Multi Medium. This was so much fun!!!!
Tim certainly has some wonderful ideas, doesn't he?
I chose to use Tim's Tattered Florals die for my new stamp. Using his
Tag & Bookplates die I cut out a tag from his Vintage Shabby paper stash (one of the gray sheets). I used Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks. Jet Black Archival Ink was used to stamp the sentiment (My Sentiments Exactly) and the flower advert (Tim Holtz). Pearl Perfect Pearls was sprayed on the petals. On the leaves (Tattered Leaves) was stamped the background image from
Sketch Art by Wendy Vecchi. I cut out a 5/8" gold circle and pricked holes all over it. Turned it over and distressed it with Walnut Stain Distress Ink for a more realistic look. A circle of foam tape is under it so the edges could be curved, again a more realistic look. Black penstitching, a memo pin and some vintage ribbon finish off my tag.
BTW, the flowers and leaves were cut from some old crepe paper ribbon that has a pattern on the reverse side that wasn't my style. I hate to waste things and since one side was plain it was perfectly fine to use for this more natural looking flower arrangement.
Another beauty, Susan! I might have another go at this one some time, and if I can find some foam may even make my own stamp this time!
ReplyDeleteFabulous tag! Really gorgeous colours and arrangement.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Susan! Love that soft script sentiment and the stacked up flowers look totally real.
ReplyDeleteOh my, Susan, this is probably my favorite tag of all the ones you have made. I love daisies anyway and this is just so cheery!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! It's always the little finishing touches you add to make it come together. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour tag is fantastic - I love the daisy!! Thanks, too, for mentioning your trouble reading the text colors on my blog. I had been meaning to change that. I hope it's better now!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag!
ReplyDeleteI love the design and colors used on your tag!
ReplyDeleteThe Tattered Floral works so well with the resist. Beautiful tag.

Well, this is just completely gorgeous, Susan! It has such a sweet, summery feel to it, and the resist technique looks fabulous. I love the daisies, and the little florist tag is perfect. The faux stitching give it such a professional, finished look. Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteLove it Susan! Great idea to make stamps from the florals, I almost did that too, but opted for something else. Looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tag, Susan!!!!!!!!!!!!
