I'm getting rusty it has been so long since I stamped, but I wanted to make a tag today. I loved that Lydia shared the other day. I loved the idea of a large stamp cropped by stamping a corner with stenciling and sponging around it with lots of white space left. I wish I'd stamped a bit more into the corner to leave a little more white but such it is! Dina shared a great tag as part of the Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist Challenge. I loved Dina's tag so much! I looked at her colors more than the design seed list and missed the green altogether. I went with the rosy red and pink with the pretty grey tones. I stamped my poinsettia in Memento black. I masked over it and stamped 2 leaves and also added my stenciled swirls...had an oops with the ink pad but went on with the tag anyway. I cut my own tag using my guillotine cutter. I scribbled with marker onto an acrylic block then used a wet brush to paint. I used my Pink marker to add a bit more color and used a Smoky Slate around the edges for more dimension. I held the tag up to the light and used a pencil to trace my flower and leaves on the bag side then laid it down on my foam pad and used the round end of my paintbrush to add dimension around the flower. I laid my mask back over and then sponged with Smoky Slate. I used an emery board on my edges to round them and sponged the edges too. I scored my top and folded over the tag top. I decided I wanted more of the Rose color so I cut another tag and laid the first onto the base. I used my cropadile to punch my hole and inset and eyelet then ran the two twine through. I then tied my grey ribbon with silver cord into a bow passing through the twines. My sentiment is stamped in Basic Grey-used my MISTI to stamp it three times to really make it pop over the stenciling.
