Dream Tag


This week's Simon Says Stamp and Show is Show a Tim Holtz Technique. I first made the flower by gluing some tissue wrap to grunge paper and then die cutting. I coloured with Alcohol Inks since tissue wrap has a slightly "waxy" finish it takes water based inks only very lightly. I applied some Distress Stickles on account of I made this on Monday when the latest Extreme Stickling episode came out.

The tag was made by spraying a Kraft tag with Ink Refreshers and then crumpling. Background was coloured with Distress Stains, then highlighting Brushed Cordoroy Distress ink and some Perfect Pearls. Stamped image using Olive Archival Ink
