Hi . . . and thank you for visiting my blog page.
Today the tag card is something I rarely do - stamp an outline in a colour! I'm usually locked into black.
The background is the stencil 'clean up' from last week's blog and minimal equipment is required for this project as listed below.
* 'A Happy Bloom' stamp set designed by Jane Royston for Cleverprints
* 'Flower Fall' #041 Stencil from Cleverprints for background (details on last week's blog)
* Red Ink Pad for main images; Black Ink Pad for sentiment
* Three watercolour pencils - Rose Carmine, Dark Red, Mauve
* Tags - white and black
* Ribbon, Buttons
Wildflower
Select flower from 'A Happy Bloom' set, place on stamp block and curve the flower stem.
With red ink pad, stamp flower five times on white card.
Colour each flower head all over with pink watercolour pencil - Rose Carmine used here. Add shadows with Dark Red, followed by Mauve.
Blend colours together with water brush or damp paintbrush.
Spritz 'inky' stencil (a bi-product of last week's blog) with water then blend onto card beneath with sponge or similar.
Trim card to fit tags, add ribbon.
Attach to background with foam tape. Add black and white mats.
Decorate with buttons.
Hope the instructions are clear enough.
Thank you for following this.
Will be back soon.
Meantime 'happy crafting!'
