To make amends I'll share some of my most recent makes over the next couple of days. To start off here is a tag I created, a couple of days ago, as part of Rachel's weekly blog (Artful Evidence) challenge.... the theme last week was butterflies.
Unfortunately I'm not a great lover of all things butterfly on my artwork but I do love the Stampotique wings stamp (602.862.8237) so decided to use it as the main focus on my tag. The tag is a little out of the box for me so hence the sentiment.......
Here's a quick run through of the make accompanied by a few pictures I took along the way:
I used 300gsm cold press watercolour white card, which I coloured with Milled Lavender Distress Ink and over stamped, in the same colour, with France's Crackle stamp ( Stampotique 602.862.0237). Then I edged with with Dusty Concord and Black Soot Distress Ink.
I added a few random splatters and rings using the Black Soot DI before adding various bits of washi tape from my stash (the butterfly/moth washi you'll probably recognise as Tim Holtz/Ranger washi).
I stamped the wings directly onto the tag using a Misty, and then again onto a scrap of 300gsm cold press water colour white card, before colouring with Stamping Up markers (Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, Red Rose and Rich Razzleberry).
To add some dimension I used seed beads (stash), tiny cogs (eBay), a large TH/Ranger Idea-ology spinner and pen nib. Outlining was done with a light grey Faber Castle Big Brush marker. The sentiment was computer generated onto a spare scrap of the cold press watercolour card, torn and edged in Dusty Concord DI.
Finally I added two small strips of seam binding dyed with Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord DI before backing the tag with black card to neaten the back and act as a frame.
Hope you like it..... but that's subjective too :-)
Thanks for stopping by
