Shine!

Hello and welcome to my blog!

Today it´s my turn to share my second project of the "Tags only" challenge at Country View Challenges I made a pretty simple tag.

I used a Gelli printed tag again.

I used a Oldie but Goodie, one of the Silhouetted Women stamps from Dina Waikley. I stamped the woman with embossing ink and heat embossed it with black embossing powder from nuvo.

To make the lady stand out more, I painted the inside of her with white Gesso.

As you can see, some of the lines got lost, so I took a dump cloth to wipe the Gesso from the lines.

Next time I would stamp the silhouette first with black Archival ink, paint the inside and stamp and emboss it after painting. Well, experience!

When I wiped away the Gesso from the embossed parts, I accidentally took away the printed paint, but I think, it´s a happy mistake, I liked it!

Now I took DI festive berries and painted the dress, face and the legs.

For some shading I used DI fired brick.

Next I distressed the edges with DI weathered wood and some black Archival ink.

To finish the tag I printed with Dymo the word shine and added a red rose.

Last I added a red ribbon - done!

Now I hope, you make also a little tag for the challenge. You can win a 20 £ voucher for the shop!

Thank you for your visit today and have a wonderful week.
