Another day, another tag. This one was done to try out a technique demo'd on Sannie's blog (you gotta check her out - seriously!) and the end result fits with Hels' Sunday Stampers challenge theme this week - Shiny Happy People.
Stamps used are from the Indigo Blu 'Sewing mends the soul' set and the other goodies used include; DI Antique Linen/Walnut Stain/Spun Sugar/Spiced Marmalade, Perfect Medium, VersaMagic Gingerbread, and CS Pink Ultra mica powder/CS Amethyst Mist UTEE and Clear EE.
I think this close-up shows a bit more of the shine created by the mica powder on top of the ink.
Mental note; VersaMagic gives a far crisper image on pearlescent card and also embosses well. The cream nylon lace 'skirt' was died with Shell Pink/Butterscotch Alcohol Ink and Blending Solution. It goes darker in patches if you heat it with a heat gun.
Thank you for all the amazing comments over the past few days (and a special thank you to Neet :)) I promise to join in with WOYWW next week - there's gonna need to be an extension on broadband usage limit methink!!! Take care all. Hugs, Buttons x
I love the use of the fabric with your stamped corset Buttons, and the ribbon finishes it perfectly. Your tags are amazing! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteFAB tag hun, love the lacy skirt, cool! Thanks for joining in with the Sunday Stamper x
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a gorgeous tag! Love the colors and the skirt ruffle is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi Buttons, I don't normally think of you as a pink person but this tag is gorgeously, fabulously pink and I love it. That corset skirt is amazing, as is the rest of the tag. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI honestly was not trying to curry favour with TH, I just hate opening up the packets and after I use them I always want to put them back, hence wanting two......I just don't have enough money to buy everything I want - greedy I know! Crafty hugs, Anne x
What a lovely shiny happy lady she is - great work.

The fabric is amazing with the stamped corset.... I am trying to find the right word... sumptuous?
ReplyDeleteThis tag is fantastic... I love how you've done the corset over the stamped lady, and the way you dressed it up. Brilliant!
ReplyDeletePictures just don't pick up the shine like we want, but I know its plenty shiny with all that mica. Your tag is gorgeous! I love the vintage feel, and the corset really adds to that. Beautiful!
