Enjoy Every Minute

I have the new Distress Inks and couldn't resist trying them and this tag was born!
I started by adding Cracked Pistachio to my tag...
Then I spritzed it with water and dried it...
Then I added Cracked Pistachio again. I wanted the colour to be deeper and this is a good way to do this!
Then I used Abandoned Coral Distress Ink to a die cut heart...
To add the sentiment I stamped each word individually, blocking the rest of the stamp with a post-it note...
Then all I needed to do was to stamp the scallop on the bottom and cut around it; add the stalk and blocks in the background. For the leaves I added some Cracked Pistachio to a little left over card and stamped the arrows. Around the tag, leaves and heart I added Black Soot Distress Marker. I mounted the tag on black card and that was that!
Thank you, as always for popping by!

  2. I've never tried the water effect before. You make your tutorials so simple to follow. Now I'm going to make a similar tag. I don't have those stamps you show but I've got others from paperartsy to use. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep um comin.
