I wanted to keep this one simple, maybe encourage some of the lurking members to participate, so I decided the challenge would be to make a tag, but limit yourself to using only two Studio 490 stamp sets. As I was pawing thru my sets, I kind of forgot what I was doing, and almost grabbed a third and fourth set....lol.....so then I had to backtrack a little and rethink what I was doing. Here's the tag...
Insert brief pause here while I check the names of the sets I used.....
Ok, they were two of the new ones...For the Arts and Believe in Art. I also used the new Vermillion Archival ink on the background....love it!
A little boo boo on the round BLACKOLA label hanging from the fabric...I had stamped it on chipboard, and covered with Rock Candy Crackle. After it had dried, I thought, hey, I'll just dab some Vintage Photo distress stain on here, it will go right into the cracks. Well, apparently I squeezed a little too hard, it got in the cracks all right...and ended up making it real dark. Moral of the story, a little stain goes a long way. lol. And, I just didn't have time to make another. The key is Tim's new mover and shaper key die, cut from grunge, and embossed with gold, verdigris and rust embossing powder, then swiped with the coffee archival pad. I thought it looked pretty cool.
The little "make art" on the dude's newspaper is a Cat's Life Press stamp.
Off to enjoy my weekend....hope you enjoy yours! Thanks for stopping!
