Not a very inspiring title but it fits what I have been making.
This tag, I think is one the last Christmas items I will be making this year.
The background is shaded with tumbled glass distress inks, stamped with a few snowflakes, before running through the crimper. Words are from a Hero Arts set and the deer by Stamper Anonymous.
Challenge
The Seasonal theme this week at Make My Monday is to add a ' Red Bow'.
I was wondering what to make when I saw the new challenge at Crafty Cardmakers is 'Use it Three Times, to show how versatile a stamp can be.
The rose stamp, is old, well loved and used.
Here are my three ways-
Base layer, random stamping using Adirondak Expresso
Next layer, a resist technique, dusting with Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls after stamping from a clear embossing pad.
Topper, heat embossed with Lava Black embossing powder. Then coloured with watercolour paints.
Again, it was hard to get good photos and I wished I hadn't added a layer of miri to the card. The shadows make it look as if it wasn't layered properly [it is in real life].
Thankyou for stopping by to take a look, I realy appreciate you calling.
Lovely card and tag. Like how you have used the rose 3 times! Hugs,
