Bundle of leaves..

The background is a gelliprint with Nuamce powders.

I heat embossed the leaves with white.

I've added sponging with distress inks around the edges.

Foliage tags everywhere..

LOVE this stamp for its simplicity, so I have a CAS card for you today!

I created the background with structure paste over a stencil and stamped a script, to just break the white background. No color, as I wanted the tags to pop. 

**** 

Here you can see how I created the tags:
I stamped the tags on a leftover piece of background with a light grey ink. I colored the flowers with a white acrylic marker to make them pop.  


When dry, I overstamped it with a darker ink.
Of course I had to do the stamping with a (custom made) MISTI, as I had to stamp it multiple times.
I've cut them out and added scrappers' floss to each tag.

12 tags of 2016 - April

My tag for the April challenge in the 12 tags of 2016 from Tim Holtz!

I've matted the tag onto black cardstock- gives it some more definition! 

... pssssst - and to be honest, the backside of the tag was not clean after all the messiness, so this way nobody will ever know that! 

As you might notice, I've used white paper as base for the mosaic. 

LOVE the technique..
