Tag

Hi, as the the theme over at Dragon's Dream TIO is "Use Mostly Red", and the Fashionable Stamping Challenge is "Tags", I thought I would combine the two, so this is the tag I've created:



I used a Ranger Manilla tag, covered it with Old Paper DI, sprayed with water and dried, then went over most of it with Fired Brick, then sprayed and dried again.  I stamped the background text with Fired Brick, and the CI flourishes, images and main text with Jet Black Stazon.  The two main images (including the word "Visage") were Craft Stamper Freebies and the sentiment I'm afraid I can't remember.  The rose was something I bought many years ago from Asda - it was mounted into a 3d box frame.  I'd took it all apart last week to recycle the box frame at a later date, so thought I'd recycle the rose, which I've edged in a little red glitter, as well :-).  The edge of the tag is gently edged in Black Soot DI, and a red ribbon to finish.

This isn't a colour I use very often as I never feel as though it looks quite right, but I'm pleased with how this has turned out.

As well as the two challenges mentioned at the top of this post, I'm also going to enter this tag into the following challenges:

Addicted To Stamps - Anything But A Card
Allsorts Challenge - Flowers and Swirls1
Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog - Make Yourself Uncomfortable
Happy Daze Challenge - Little Black Dress as everything I make has some rubber stamping on it somewhere!

Hope you like it.

What a beautiful but dramatic tag. I too steer away from red as well but you've done a wonderful job here. Thanks for taking part in Crafty Ann's Challenge this fortnight and best of luck. We hope to see you back again very soon. Best wishes, Kym, Crafty Ann's Design Team xxx
