A little background to this tag. About two years ago, I had some Distress Oxide Inks (Antique Linen, Brushoed Corduroy, Vintage Photo and Specikled Egg), on my glass mat, so instead of wasting them, I decided to put them on a tag, but before I did that, I ran a Brusho wax resist crayon over the surface in a very rough cross hatch pattern. I added the inks and the crayon did it's job, by exposing the crayon. Once the tag was dry, I put it away for another day and forgot about it.
I had a bit of a tidying / tweak session to my craft cupboard this afternoon and came across the long forgotten tag, so decided to do something with it. I added some more Distrss Oxide Inks to it. This time, Forest Moss and Ground Espresso.
I splattered Aqua Green and Black Posca Pens across the surface of the tag. Once dry I then used Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink to stamp the lines on the tag. The stamp is part of a Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous stamp and stencil set with a reference of THMM114. While the ink was out, I also stamped the leaves which are part of a Marianne Designs "Silhouette Art - CS1181" stamp set. I then fussy cut the foliage and stuck it into position on the tag.
Using the stencil from the same stamp and stencil set mentioned above, I applied texture paste through some of the holes. The white texture paste took on some of the colour from the oxide inks below which made it look less stark.
Finally, I added a Tim Holtz Paper doll figure and a word sticker from the Tim Holtz Clipping Stickers set.
