LOVELY LADIES (tag)

Hi all,
Today I have my entry for the
COMPENDIUM of CURIOSITIES Challenge #33,
over at studio L3
hosted by Linda Ledbetter,
the technique this week is,
ALTERED METAL ALCOHOL INKS,
on page 56.

Here's my tag,

I used,

Victorian Velvet & Brushed Corduroy,

the stamps used are, swirls/florishes (inkadinkado)

& Ladies (crafty individuals CI-238)

Alcohol Inks,(sunset orange, tera cotta & cranbury)

Archival Ink, (coffee)

Tim Holtz, (distresser)

scraps of paper & card,

Dragonfly charms & fibers from my stash,

& a manilla tag.

I stamped & cut the ladies on a cream card,

I felt the ladies didn't stand out enough,

so I stamped & cut them onto white card

& coloured there cheeks etc with Victorian Velvet Distress ink,

I then used silicone glue to raise them a bit,

& then used foam pads to adhere the tile to the tag.

With the swirls in the background I stamped

coffee archival,

& then stamped again without reinking,

so you get a lighter image,

(this is called secondry stamping, I think!)

It gives a lovely depth to your background.

Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by,

Back soon,
