I am here today to share with you my tag for Tim's 12 tags of 2014. When I saw the design this month, I was very excited because I knew that I had most of the tools/supplies necessary to play along with the theme. I even had the stamp (smaller version) and that rarely happens.
Now as Tim said, with this technique with the blending solution did not turn out exactly like I had imagined. When I ran my tag through the alcohol ink, my letters disappeared. So I put my stencil back on top of the tag, put some alcohol blending solution directly on my blending tool and dabbed away. This lightened up some of the color so that my stenciled letters were now visible.
The rest was pretty easy. I stamped my image, put on some of my remnant rubs. I did not have the exact ones Tim had, but this was about creativity, not duplication.
I used my butterfly punch from ek tools and punched away. This is becoming my favorite tool! I stamped the lettering on the butterflies after they were punched (Tim did it before) and it seamed to work just fine. You can see my green tissue paper underneath the butterflies that I am saving for another project (idea) I have.

ReplyDeleteBut it doesn't fit to our challenge at Anonymous Stamps. Because you have to use a image from Anonymous stamps. There for free. Maybe you have some time to make a new creation with on of our images.
