I never get tired of using the Heaven and Nature Sings sentiment from Memory Box. I used it today to finish off my
Tim's tag #3:
Love the technique Tim shared today with the re-inkers and foam pad. Unfortunately for me no foam pad. :) So I spent some time playing around with other techniques to see how I could best get the effect he had created with the embossing and multiple colors. After about 4 failed attempts. I ended up embossing white cardstock and dragging the different colored inkpads across the surface unevenly. (Gathered Twigs, Evergreen Bough, and Aged Mahogany)
I love the effect! Very fun and striking. I sponged the edges of the tag with the darker brown and came back in to the center with the softer brown. I cut my bird from burlap! Totally fun and love how it turned out. (I backed it on white cardstock to help keep the fraying to a minimum.
The rest is just touches of burlap, flowers, twine. I have another fun post coming up for the Stampendous monthly challenge so I had to hurry this morning to get this posted.
Have a wonderful Saturday! Now to clean up my desk from my whirlwind tag this morning!
