Indigoblu Challenge: A Touch of Red

For this Indigoblu Challenge #24 A Touch of Red I made one of my favourite things to make; a giant tag.

 

 

I thought Indigoblu Elizabeth Bennet stamp might work well for this challenge.

 

The tag was prepared by pasting strips of book pages to it, followed by two thin coats of white gesso and some stone coloured acrylic paint, applied sparingly.  Once dry, a flourish stamp was randomly stamped around the tag in Walnut Stain Distress Ink. 

 

 

 

The same ink was brushed around the edges of the tag with foam.

 

Elizabeth Bennet was stamped in a sepia colour on white card and again on red card, some of the flowers were cut from the red card.  The image stamped on white card was trimmed and roughly cut around the detail.  Walnut Stain ink was brushed around the edges.

 

 

The stamp of Vintage definition was stamped in the same Versafine Vintage Sepia colour on white card, trimmed and coloured with brown ink around the edge.

 

 

 

The images were glued onto the tag with dimensional glue.

 

 

 

 

The tag was finished off with cream ribbon coloured with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
