It is a 3-day long weekend here in Taiwan and I am so blessed to have been able to make artworks three days in a row. After making a super CAS card yesterday, I challenged myself to make a quite sophisticated-looking one and this tag is what I made today. Boy, I am in a heaven.
I am entering this tag to the following challenges:
1. Stamploration {Stencil Sunday #14} + October Mixed Media Challenge
2. Crafter Stampers, Take it Make it October Challenge, 'Take A Technique - Ink Stitch Paint Collage Print Paper
In my tag, I have inks, faux stitches and faux newspaper.
3. Just Us Girls Trend Week 314 – Use Stencils
4. The Sisterhood of Crafters, Lets All Go To 'The Pumpkin Patch
5. The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #17 - Word Search
My word inspirations are pumkin and black.
Card Details
1. All stamps are by Hero Arts and all stencils are by Tim/Stampers Anonymous.
2. Pumpkins were colored by Copic Markers.
3. I added crackle embossing paste first. After dry, I applied two layers of stenciling then covered the whole tag with some distress inks. I overstamped the newspaper background, making the whole background full of textures as shown below.
4. I added faux stitiches on the side as the final finishing touch.
I feel extremely blessed after making this tag. Hope you like this tag. Thanks for stopping by.
Absolutely fabulous tag Helen! Thanks so much for joining us at The Sisterhood’s ‘PUMPKIN PATCH’ challenge and please come back again soon!
