Background - crushed olive, wold honey & rusty hinge DIs, spritzed with gold perfect pearls & water. All stamps are PaperArtsy. Roughed up edges - the paper distresser is my fave tool at the moment!

Rolling Recipe Tag Challenge - week 24

Here is my tag. I started with a 'Paris Trunk' sepia coloured ink base coat . I then stamped the eiffel tower on some silver foil with brown stazon. stuck that on as it was sticky backed, then pasted some paper torn numbers along one side... slapped on a bit more ink, this time walnut stain DI.. I then embossed the carte postal image using light gold jewel enamel..
I finished with a utee key and patriotic gems
This is a close up so you can sort of see the silver 'shiney' foil and embossing.

Oh and by the way Alison I WIN lol

Recipe tag week 20


My first evening's play in ages!

Tag painted with acrylic paints. Clarity tree and camels (unknown source) stamped in black Versacolour and embossed with black detail powder.
I would change the composition if I had to do it again, starting with stamping the camels straight - mind you, I did take a scan of the BG vefore I stamped it so I might well do it again!

Rolling Recipe Tag Challenge - week 21


For this tag, I stamped & clear embossed the main image by Stampers Anonymous, then inked around it with distress inks in tumbled glass, stormy sky & chipped sapphire. I stamped a few Tim Holtz images for the background, then added a silver grommet, bashed it a bit with a texture hammer, & tied on a bit of string in a bow.
