Emily is 14 and started by making a background using the bubble technique (add a little water, reinker and dish soap in a small dish and blow bubbles, then pass your card over the bubbles.) When doing this technique it took a lot more ink than you think but it's fun to keep adding crazy colors in there, even ones that don't blend and see what you get. She then die cut the ornament out of the tag. She cut a second one from Shimmer Sheetz. She inlaid some of the pieces and used Glitter Ritz in the center. She then colored that center with copics. She stamped the swirl and the sentiment and heat embossed in silver. She then added a few nail heads. She crinkled up some seam binding ribbon to finish it off. Thanks for stopping by.

Oh my, Nancy, what a terrific time you must have had with Emily while she created this amazing tag. The entire piece of art is lovely. The bubble bg is so pretty...I have to try that technique. I love the silver and blue color combo. Absolutely gorgrous.

Oh my Emily, your tag is gorgeous. I love that background and have never tried the technique but now I must try it. Your die cut with the inlaid Shimmer Sheetz is beautiful. TFS.
