This year is going to be about Layering...
So what better place to start than on a Tag?!?!?
Lots of products here, just play with the layers.
I start with a #8 Manila Tag, GrungePaste and a Chevron Stencil.
Then I added layers of Distress Stains and Green Yellow Inka Gold.
I used Stamps with Archival Inks, White Paint, and a White Pen last. See the difference a white pen makes in the contrast on the Typewriter!!!
Add a Trim to the top, layer it onto Black Chipboard and add 3 Wooden Buttons to give a bit of interest.
Simple, Simple, Simple.....my word for the Year!

What a beautiful tag! Your use of colors & textures is always amazing and with the addition of white pen accents...perfection!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love your white pen around the typewriter.
ReplyDeleteI've had a few projects lately that I almost scrapped because something was missing. Added some more layers (what could it hurt, right?) and wah-lah! Problem solved. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tag. The white pen really hit the spot.
Now you have me singing - "sunrise sunset - sunrise sunset - quickly flow the days" Love the layers and colors Linda.
