Hello Everyone!
There is a new challenge appeared recently dedicated to CAS tag projects - Tag You're It! For the challenge #2 Laura Bassen as a Guest Designer presented her inspirational tag:
I followed her colour scheme with some variations and kept the major elements - embossing resist technique in clear powder, a die-cut shape and a sentiment in black.
I started with heat embossing stripes in clear to a white tag and then I tried different techniques for colouring the background. I found that sponging Distress Inks brought more vibrant tones, than water-colouring techniques, what I personally enjoy more.
Usually I use a lot of heat embossing in my projects, that's why I really appreciate Craft Stamper's July challenge focusing on embossing resist technique.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a nice day!
Cardstock: PTI White, Prima Marketing Bohemian Bamboo
Stamps: PTI Birds & Blooms, Background Bacics: Super Stripes
Dies: PTI Tag Sale #5, MB Perched Reed Bird
Other: HA Ultra Fine Embossing Powder, Ranger Distress Embossing Ink, Ranger DI Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmelade and Festive Berries
