Another Tag

The Challenge this week on Lots to Do, as I mentioned in an earlier post, is to make a tag. This is mine. I was using one of the Impressabilities from Spellbinders and thought it would be nice to do it on core card and then sand it off. This has provided the background for my tag.

All the images are from a Non Sequitur plate and the archway was stamped on a piece of cardstock which already had the crackle stamped on it. The coin in the bottom corner has been painted with Pewter Twinkling H2o's although it does not show up in the scan. I tried it originally with silver embossing powder on silver cardstock but it came out too thick and didn't look as I wanted it to.

I aged the script with Antique Linen after stamping it in black.

The statue was stamped in grey and mounted with foam dots as were the scrabble letters spelling out the word 'Greece' or 'Hellas' as I thought it more fitting.

Another two for the Demonstration

Another two I did yesterday ready for my demonstration for Oyster Stamps. This pixie one is using the same die, once with the stamped image and another one as a frame behind it. Then I punched some holes down the side and threaded ribbon through the eyelets. Just another idea for the punters.

This one uses an image I had of a photostamp. I also used one of the Impressabilities as a background, placing it over my cardstock and sponging through. As you can see, this time I used one of the Labels and then cut a hole in it with a Nestability Oval - decided to do a bit of "mix and match" with the dies.

When I find my little pearls I will put three of them on the band at the bottom but although I searched and searched I could not find them yesterday. Ah well!
