'Rolling Recipe' Tag 5

Here is the 5th tag in the UK Stampers challenge series entitled 'Rolling Recipe'. This weeks recipe was:
  1. The Colour Red
  2. Text
  3. A Stamped heart

I started with a plain white base card cut to tag shape and size. I then applied Impress poppy red dye ink direct to the card. I then stamped a text stamp from the Da Vinci plate by Cherry Pie in fired brick Distress ink at the top and down the left side.

Next I inked a text heart stamp from Invoke Arts with Versamark and heat embossed this with lilac embossing powder. Another solid heart from the same plate was inked with dusty concord Distress Ink and stamped below it giving a mottled look. This was then heat embossed with detail clear EP. The text heart stamp was then inked again with Brilliance rocket red ink and stamped over the solid heart and randomly in the lower half of the tag.



I then used more dusty concord Distress ink applied with cut'n'dry foam to colour as shown.


The rub-on letters were applied to spell 'Hot'. A purple heart eyelet was applied with the cropodile and a length of ladder yarn tied through the hole to finish.

I especially liked the background which looks more pink but, believe me, is quite red !
