this is the fourth tag of my little series "1 Stamp - 10 Tags" showcasing a technique invented by the fabulous Tim Holtz:
- cut a tag from watercolor paper
- paint the tag with dark blue acrylic paint
- stamp the flower from Karten-Kunst Gartenblumen with Versamark and heat-emboss with clear embossing powder
- cover the background with pink and purple acrylic paint and wait a while but not until the paint is completely dry
- use a paper towel to wipe away the paint on the images and let the dark background show through
- stamp the sentiment from the same stamp set with Versafine Imperial Purple
- thread twine through the hole of the tag
I would like to link this card up to the following challenges:
