Well Girls, its that time again for my little walk down the catwalk at Fashionable Stamping Challenges. The theme this time is a 'Tag' - and you should have a look at the fabulous tags the other DT members have made for your inspiration.
I haven't ventured into the world of tags previously, yes I have added a tag to a card, but that seemed different to actually making a stand alone tag, but really, once I started, it was just like adding all the bits to a smaller card, don't know why I haven't done this before!
For my tag I used an ordinary postage label, stamped the Eiffel Tower, masked it and stamped the Post card, both from the Royal Langnickel French Travel stamp set. I drew a line and stamped Hero Arts French Writing to one side of this before removing the mask. The little Paris tag, from the same set, was stamped onto spare card and I added an eyelet. These were all sponged with DI inks Vintage Photo and Tatted Rose. I used Clarity's Sketchy Lady and stamped her onto spare card, paper pieced her dress and hat and just coloured her skin, I added foam pads just to 'lift' her. The swirl was sponged with Vintage Photo and is cut from a Marianne die. To finish I added a scrunched flower and pale blue organza ribbon.
Well I hope you like my 'little number' and are tempted to pop over and browse the inspirations on the catwalk of Fashionable Stamping Challenges. I hope you join us this time as there is a fabulous prize on offer from out sponsor Marina from Cottage Crafts.
I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Challeng up Your Life - Paper Piecing
