This tag came about because Wanda posted her CCC#3 tag using similar colors. I couldn't believe how much her sample looked like the one I had lying on my work surface. I issued myself a challenge to use my piece on another tag. I'm pretty sure I used Wild Plum, Silver Metallic Alcohol Inks but not sure what other colors. I used Tim's border dies on each end then stamped one of his foliage images at the bottom using Weathered Wood Distress Ink and Juniper Pigment Ink. A Sakura black glaze pen made the pen-stitching and Ranger's new white and black enamel accents are on the ends. The tag was colored using Bundled Sage DI with Cloudy Blue and Juniper Pigment Ink over that. I stamped one of Tim's flourishes using Wild Plum Pigment Ink then drew around some of the design with Ranger's Inkssentials Pen. I edged the tag with a black Sharpie for more definition; the ribbon finishes it off. This is why I don't throw anything away. You never know when it will be the inspiration for another piece of art.
Now I'm off for more playtime as I try my hand at CCC #4 - Shabby Chic! Have fun!
PS - I tried to be artsy-fartsy with my sample being off-kilter but in the photo here it really looks off-kilter. Oh well.
