I just realized how many tags I have been making. :) I think because I keep getting behind on Linda's 12 tags of Christmas and then I create a bunch to catch up.
Week #8 has a fun technique that I couldn't wait to try. Linda's challenge has fun prized provided by her store
The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
I started with stamping a starry background with versamark on white cardstock. I heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder.
I then smeared Ranger Distress Ink - Peacock Feathers over the surface to show off my resist. Tammy's technique then calls for covering it in White paint to show off the resist. Which at this point I realized oops I was supposed to put color down first and then resist. So I decided to do a double resist. :) This is the stamping gymnastics of a double resist into a full out landing.
I stamped the script using versamark over the peacock resist background. I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. (Tip: make sure you heat set your dye ink so it is completely dry as to not pick up any embossing powder in areas you don't want it to.)
Now I could use the white acrylic paint smeared over the surface to show up the script. I was really pleased with how this turned out.
I loved Linda's sweet Santa on her tag and I just purchased this Paper Artsy Santa and was happy to ink him up and put him on my tag:
I stamped the Santa on tissue paper using black archival ink. I then cut him out and attached him to my surface. I stamped the sentiment in on the vellum and attached that. I wanted a hint of pink so I found some pink shimmer snowflakes to accent.
Happy Tuesday!
