Large Tag

Paula here again, I'm showing a stamped tag today (will be showing another quite similar in a weeks time) - the basis is a large manila no.10 tag by Ranger and that's where the fun began for me.....I started off using Dylusions ink sprays in Vibrant Turquoise, Pure Sunshine and Squeezed Orange BUT I didn't spray them directly onto the tag, I sprayed them onto a non stick mat and wiped the tag into each colour individually. I then added some Distress ink in Peacock Feathers along the top.....then I spritzed the Dylusions inks lightly in places to add a bit more colour on to the tag. I then embossed the tag with a hexagon pattern. Next, I took some sand paper and sanded all the edges and over the embossed design.

I used the grass looking stamp from the Spring Sprung set by Tim Holtz, I stamped firstly in Peeled Paint and then over stamped this in Gathered Twigs - I've used the alphabet stamp from the School Desk set by Tim Holtz in the background using black ink.....I've also added some rub ons. Using Barn Door distress ink I stamped the flourish from the Spring Sprung stamp set. I stamped the rabbit, again from the Spring Sprung set, trimmed him out, added some Copic highlights using 2 shades of grey. I then coloured some paper using a Promarker then over stamped with the butterfly, trimmed image out and added to tag....last touch, was to add a metal clip.
