I had created the background on the tag previously using orange paint and embossing paste. I inked up the Darkroom Door Eclectic Stamp - Butterfly with Ranger Distress inks - Spiced Marmalade and Barn Door and stamped it on tissue paper. I clear embossed it to give it a sheen and some texture. I realized the colors worked beautifully with the tag and decided to mix them together. The sentiment is from the new Essentials 12 Collection - Simple Sayings.
I know this will make a great birthday card so I am going to add a back to the tag and turn it into a tag card. I am always looking for birthday cards to give to my girls when they go to a friend's for a birthday party.
I actually had finished the tag matching the sketch more accurately with more layers of lace going higher up:

Ein ungewöhnliches und sehr schönes Tag.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I am loving the color orange more and more! Your mix of colors are really pretty. Did you apply the tissue paper to the tag or did you redo the process on other paper. Thanks!

stunning choice of colour Sue. I think I like the layers of lace - looks like the tag's wearing a dress. (that sounds really silly!)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous--the colors are so cheerful. I agree about the lace. :-)
