Tag # 3 Pinks

For the Simon Says Stamp and Show - One Colour challenge this week I decided to go for Pink. Not my normal colour but I thought I would try it and see how it went.

I used a plain white tag but swooshed it through Tim Holtz Distress Inks  - fired brick, worn lipstick and victorian velvet spritzed with water on my craft mat (Which I have just realised I have left at Cousin Bs house !) While the mat was still wet I also wiped through the four layers of flowers from the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die.

Once the tag was dry I stamped a map background from my Glitz set of clear stamps in aged mahogany DI  and some airoplanes in worn lipstick. In the top left I stamped the words in the aged mahogany and sprinkled with clear embossing powder before heating it. The stamping of the words was not very good so I added 3 buttons down the side to cover up the mess. To balance the buttons out I put a bigger one in the top left hand corner.

On the tattered florals cut outs I stamped the map using worn lipstick to give a subtle affect before using aged mahogany around the edges of the flowers and the tag.

The flower was attached using a pink triangle brad and a piece of pink silk was threaded through the top to finish it off.
This one didnt take too long to do today as I was very relaxed sitting with my cousin in her craft room enjoying her company and that of her family, thanks Bev xx
