Oriental tag with Carol

Carols second piece on the paper artsy blog was a beautiful oriental tag. You can pop over and see how she did it here.


Here is my version I didn't have a size 10 tag so had to use a size 8..so because of this I decided to go for a smaller stamp..

I used eggplant,pansy,mushroom(the original one),moonlight,vanilla and honeydew frescos for the back ground. I stamped and painted the Lynne Perella image and cut it out, put it on tag using foam pads.

The writing is also from a Lynne Perella stamp as is the little coin thingy... I didn't have gold utee so used dusty concord distress and embossed it with clear. Couldn't get the same effect as Carol.

I used the small scallops on the edge die and some purple ribbon for the bottom of the tag, and coloured some seam binding using distress stains.


Lastly I used olive bronze treasure gold lightly over the embossed parts of the tag...
