Lot's of splotchy fun is happening today on my blog. I was inspired by
Tim's Tag of August. I pulled out a set I haven't used before with all the different traveling images to create my tag.
This tag took three tries to get it right. Those masks got some serious workout. I started with smearing weather wood ink and Vintage Photo ink onto the craft mat and added spritzed water. I dragged the tag through it and heat set it and then picked up the spots by laying the tag on the ink.
I stamped my masks and cut them out. I then stamped the card with black archival ink. I masked it and stamped the filmstrip. I stamped all the images using black ink and highlighted them with
STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell watercolor pencils.
I wanted to play with different color combos and tried out a new yellow distress paint with orange distress paint.
I mixed the persimmons with the seedless preservers and made a great color combo that I think I will use it for a future Halloween project.
I liked that color combo so much that I created another full piece of cardstock using the same colors.
.Have a wonderful Sunday!

ReplyDeleteFabulous take on Tim's tag Sue and I love the images. I need to get that set to use when making my next card for Hubby. He has a thing about 'Route 66'! Love the vibrant backgrounds you made for use in the future. Those Distress Paints look as though they're very useful to have in the craftroom, Lol!
