Hello everyone, Alison here with a change from my usual look! I used Distress Inks and Stains in some, for me, unusually bright colours to create the background.
Then I layered up stamps from the
Whimsical Melange plate, stamped in Distress Paint, to build up texture.
What I'm really showcasing is the fabulous sentiment from the
Typography plate - embossed for glossy dimensionality so that it pops against that vivid background.
I added some tissue tape, and a bottle top that came in a job lot of Idea-ology bits and pieces, and has been waiting for a day when I was feeling colourful.
I also used Distress Paints to alter some metal pieces and add contrasting colours to the tag. If I remember rightly, I think I gave them a coat of clear embossing powder after the paint...
That was also the plan behind the dyed crinkle ribbon at the top. So, I hope you like this hop out of kin creation - I certainly had fun making it!
Thanks so much for stopping by... and I hope you'll be able to play along with the brand new Referral Program this month here at Artistic Outpost. Use at least one AO image to enter, and you'll be entered in the prize draw at the end of July.
