As you may have guessed, 'Tags' is the theme this fortnight at Fashionable Stamping Challenge and as long as your creations has Tags and stamping - then that's OK by us.
I'm still playing with my Oxford Impressions 'April in Paris' stamps, and I have used another of the photo stamps for my image. My tag, had been used to mop up some Tumbled Glass DI after a ribbon dying session, I spritzed and added more ink, this time Broken China and Faded Jeans. I random stamped some script and a TH Flower swirl in Iced Spruce. Embossed the top with TH EF and distressed with Iced Spruce, then brushed with Treasure Gold in Aquamarine.I used a Nesti label for the frame and embossed first with Black EP, and then MoonGlow EPs in Violet, Sapphire, Obsidian and Golden Angel Wings, I should use these more as they give a beautiful metallic effect. Whilst the powders were still molten, I stamped with a floral background stamp, that had been inked with Gold. When it was cold, I removed the stamp and added some more Aquamarine Treasure Gold to the edges.
The larger 2 roses were made with an EK Success Retro punch, again something I haven't used for a long time. A bling brad was added to attach the dyed vintage ribbon.
If you need any inspiration, please pop over to the main blog and see what my very talented teamies have created. Also, don't forget, we are sponsored by Flonzcraft who are offering one lucky random winner a $20 gift cert for their online store.
