Today I have a tag to show you - all of the colour on the tag is from heat embossing - the black is stamping with archival ink. Its following the method in this months craft stamper magazine - lots of fun and I think an interesting result:
To make my tag I started with a manilla tag and rubbed versa mark over the entire surface - then I added three different colours of embossing powder in different sections of the tag then heat set. Then I did a little backgrouns stamping. Then using a mask I added more versa mark to make the dotted pattern and added white embossing powder - also added some thunm prints of versa mark and powder too. Then heat set. Finally I did the last bit of stamping with the freebie stamp from Craft stamper this month (from visible image) and some from Imagination Crafts. What do you think?
I'd like to enter this tag into the following challenges:
