Today, I am bringing you a not so simple tag. It doesn't look like it but this took a while to create.
I started with a plain packing tag and then used glimmer mist and a stencil of butterflies to lay down my first layer. The second layer is pearl embossing paste with a brick wall stencil. I then used pink distress ink on that and distressed the edges of the tag as well. The next layer was a bit of raveled bleached burlap.
Now comes the stamping. I used
C415 Rose Time Piece and stamped it three times. I colored it and then cut it out and layered the different bits. The bottom layer was covered with Gold stickles and the top, the watch face has a layer of crystal lacquer to look like a watch crystal. Each layer was popped using dimensionals. Finally I threaded a bit of old chain through the the top of the watch so it would look like a watch chain.
I added a flower sprig tied with some torn lace and a pretty bird to perch over the bleached burlap. I was thinking I might like a pin through the lace tie when I found a pretty pink leaf corsage pin.
Next up was my last bit of stamping. The sentiment,
D445 Patience, seemed perfect to go with the
C415 Rose Time Piece. I stamped it on a bit of scrap cardstock and then distressed the edges and added some smeared pink stickles to the sides.
The final layer for this tag was a crepe paper ruffle added across the bottom. Then I added some torn lace to the top and called it done.
See you next Friday, in the meantime, go create something beautiful.
