I is for Icon

The only bit of stamping on my tag is the dotty circles to make the background. The definition for icon is taken from Wiki, printed onto a transparency. The religious icon was too dominant, so my son suggested layering vellum over it. The vellum is glued to the transparency so the icon can be revealed when the transparency layer is moved. The sphinx under the text was a mistake! I glued the wrong side in the xyron sticker maker - I had meant it to go on top as a detail and to hide the glue for the vellum... so I added the Da Vinci man too as I really wanted some icon on top of the text. I inked the edges AFTER fixing the transparency with the eyelet... would have been easier to do it first... but this tag evolved as it was created so I'm quite happy with it now - may need to find a big I or hand cut one to add to the front somewhere.

mine is an eye con (false eyelashes) you can't really see the stamping as it is yellow on dilute magenta and after the crackle accents went on the yellow almost disappeared.

Here is my offering this week - makes a change!

Image is a free picture (actually a Scandinavian Christmas card!), and I've used Distress Inks, LLB mask and stamps, copper Glimmer mist, stazon and TSS metal. It really does say Icon, but the way the metal has sanded back makes it look like it says Igon!!!!

I used distress inks, alcohol inks, crackle paint and grungeboard on this - just some of Sir Tim's iconic stuff!!
