This first one was inked in faded jeans, tumbled glass and stormy sky distress inks, then stamped with spots in fired brick and broken china distress stain (it was easier than using ink pads to get multiple colours on one stamp).
The edge of the tag was roughed up using the edge of my scissors before being inked with gathered twigs. Swirls were stamped in two corners in white acrylic paint.
A card and curtain lining dressform and cotton reel were cut from the Tim holtz sewing room die before the respective pieces were stuck together. When dry the dress was inked using broken china and fired brick door stains and inked again with the gathered twigs, red buttons were stuck on and a lace ribbon tied round the waist.
The cotton reel was inked and wrapped with some embroider silk before being stuck on. Not decided who this is for yet but Mothers day is fast approaching !
Love the blue and red combination you have used here - the red becomes a subtle highlight and really effective. I really love this tag x
