Howdy! The wind chill is fierce today and going to be very cold for the next few weeks. I am bundled up crafting in my cozy craft room. Having so many supplies lining the wall gives me extra insulation. :)
I was working on
Tim's tag for December. It took me awhile and I came up with my take on his inspirational tag.
I created about 6 pieces of burlap backgrounds and couldn't get the effect I wanted. I moved onto canvas and was happy with the way the stencil showed up on a golden background. This set the tone for the tag a mix of Aged Mahogany and Gold.
The background was sprayed with gold mist and let dry. I then sponged the dye ink over the stencil on the background.
To emulate the letterpress technique: 1. Sponged on dye ink on the embossing folder and embossed the paper. 2. Stenciled with embossing paste and when dry dragged the dye ink over the surface to add a shadow of color.
The charms were all colored using a Krylon pen to give them the golden tones. The finishing touch was a sprinkling of Stampendous Luxe mixture of glitter and mica flakes.
Thanks for stopping by!
