Below are the main steps I made in making the tag. First I got my fingers dirty and did some finger painting. I used acrylic paints from Indigoblu in colours grandmas teacup, park lane and kingfisher blue.
Next I used the same paints and some Trish Latimer stamps to do some background stamping.
Whilst this was drying I painted my stamped image and then fussy cut it.
Next I went back to the tag and added some black ink using the same stamps.
Finally I added the image onto the tag and also added some words! This technique is that used in a Trish Latimer workshop that I went to earlier this year - I just love the effect!
I do hope you can join us in this theme - you can link your makes here.
I would like to enter this into craftstamper take-it-make-it-challenge-may
