Make My Monday week 28
I can now show you another of my tags which I made for a Guest Designer spot which I was kindly offered from the team at Make My Monday - thanks for the opportunity folks. The theme is still seasonal and this week it was 'anything goes' with the added touch of some red ribbon. I decided to make a tag based on Tim Holtz resist techniques so the tree from Chocolate Baroque Steampunk Christmas set was stamped using Versamark and clear embossed before inking the tag with fired brick Distress ink, spattered with water drops and then some overstamping using the same colour. The panel at the bottom was embossed using a Cuttlebug gears folder onto adhesive foil tape from the DIY shop, coloured using alcohol ink. The poinsettia flower is also from the same stamp set as the tree and the swirl is grunge board coloured and brushed with Distress stickles. Finally the required red ribbon (and some green) were coloured using the same Distress inks to match the colours used on the background and flower.

Sizzix gears & the Big Shot are strewn about my floor with this very flower stamp about to be used for my White Christmas project so spying this during morning coffee break it took only a moment to know who the Guest was - I've been waiting for this to happen so was absolutely delighted seeing it come to pass. The tag is a delight especially with all the detail & I love that little charm & the way you used the Distress Inks for colouring the ribbon too.

ReplyDeleteVal ... thank you for being our GDT this week. You have excelled at the challenge brief as this is gorgeous. The pointsetta is beautiful and looks like it is on vellum.
