Oh and don't forget to use at least one real stamp, make a tag and most of all have some fun!!
So here is my make :
I have to admit is truggled with the whole red thing as it is not my usual colour...but i decided to go for it!! I used some of the fab Tim rub ons a s a resist inspired by Tims tag for May 2013....I also used some old torn book pages too. They soaked up the distress stain a treat.
I added some flowers, die cut and the over stamped with text to continue that theme and added flower embellishments for the centres. Some dyed seam binding finishes of the top.
I also added a heart covered with embossing paste through a text stencil and another fab rub on. well must dash...
have a fun and inky day

For someone who struggles with red I think you did just great! I made mine so long ago i'd forgotten what she looked like!
ReplyDeleteLove the red Trace, the torn book pages are a wonderful addition and I love the heart and flowers. The rub ons are a great touch. Tracy x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous "un-cooking" love the colour of those flowers, they are so pretty. Elizabeth x
ReplyDeleteWow! Red may not be your usual thing (me either!), but you've pulled it off brilliantly with this amazing tag... Glorious texture from all that text, and the rub-ons are so effective. A great make, Trace!

So lovely Trace. I can see why it would be outside your comfort zone with the colour but everything else is Trace to a tee - hearts, texture, ink etc, etc. It works perfectly.
