Stamp Connection #11

Hi there,

connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Cornelia from Stempel Spass and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 3rd Sunday of the month and this is our 11th transatlantic get-together!

Our requirement for this meet-up was:
"Recycle"

• cut out a tag from sturdy white cardstock using the Sizzix Tag Collection
• cover the tag with tissue paper using Multi Medium Matte - the tissue paper is my recycled item: the fox stamp set I am using on this tag was wrapped in it
• add a layer of gesso on top of the lovely polka dot tissue paper
• add some color to the background using Distress Paints (Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Bundled Sage)
• stamp two circles from the Neat & Tangled Dala Horse stamp set with Memento Luxe (Tuxedo Black) and draw in stems and leaves with a black Fude Ball Pen
• add coarse texture paste to the flowers and let it dry thoroughly
• color the flowers and leaves with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens, Distress Markers and a waterbrush
• stamp the cute little fox from The Ton Hey Foxy with Memento (Tuxedo Black) and color the image with Delta and Touch Twin Markers
• stamp the sentiment from Altenew Label Love with Versafine (Onyx Black) and the DIY Stamp Positioner on a piece of leftover gold-foiled cardstock and adhere it with the help of the Tiny Attacher
• dye a piece of seam binding with Distress Ink (Chipped Sapphire) and thread it through the hole of the tag
• ink up the edges with the same ink color

Now make sure to hop over to see Cornelia's Creation.
