hey there,
well it is challenge time again over at
anything goes challenge blog and here is my dt piece:
The theme this time is black and another colour. So I went for red , as I was desperate to use these new paperartsy stamps. I started with a blank kraft tag and painted on some crackle paint in picket fence..then i had to be patient!!!Once dry i smooshed it into black soot distress stain and a bit of picket fence, dried and repeated this a few times. Once dry, and when happy with it, some of the distress crackle can flake away if you are rough but I love this...
I then stamped some of the road signs in black .The bus was inked up using red and stamped and cut out and I then added some glossy accents to the lights.
To complete the tag I added some red roses sprayed with red pepper adirondak spray, a Tim ticket and quote and some ideaology .
Make sure you pop
across to see the fab Dt pieces and lots of these crafty inks can be found from
Lynne at craft den.
