Evidence of Art .....

This months 'Take It - Make It' Challenge over on Craft Stamper Magazine Blog is - 'Anything Goes'

I decided to make an eclectic tag for the Challenge and here is how I made it .....

I started with a piece of mauve card cut to tag shape ( 11 x 16 cm ).

I had been given some self adhesive white paper circles which I decided to use as a decoration on the tag base. I used smooshed Distress Oxide inks and a water spray on a non-stick sheet to colour the circles which were then applied onto the tag.

This was then overstamped with a variety of Memento Inks and stamps from Dina Wakley to add some extra colours and design over the circles. I then applied some woven cream 'ruler' ribbon as shown. The tag edges and body was then stamped with some Versamark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder & a gold eyelet applied with a crop-a-dile at the top.

The embellishments were stamped in Memento black ink using another Dina Wakley stamp, trimmed out and coloured with Copic markers. Glossy Accents was applied to the solid black areas and when dry, added on foam pads.

The sentiments (Studio 490 - Wendy Vecchi) were stamped on more of the mauve card in Versafine black ink, trimmed out and matted on white card coloured with the pink Copic.

Some shiny decorative fibres were tied through the eyelet to finish the tag.
