Simplicity Sunday - A Simple Tag by Donna Gray
Hi everyone,
It's Donna with you today to show you how to make this simple tag with only 3 stamps ;)
I took a size 8 manilia tag and swooshed it through some diluted Distress Oxides on my craft mat (I used a brown, orange and grey). After it was dried thoroughly I then used some more brown Distress Oxide and a That's Crafty! Mini Stencil to create the cogs effect you see. I just wanted it to be subtle and not over power the main stamping.
Next step was to use this wonderful stamp called da Vinci Body Sketch and stamp it directly on the tag with black Archival ink. I added a little shading around her with a grey Zig Clean Colour pen but nothing else as I wanted the background to show through her making her almost transparent.
I then took the little heart that hangs from the tree in Whimsical Summer, coloured it with a red pen and adhere it to the stamped figure.
Then using a dots stamp from the Textured Feathers set I stamped that in black Archival ink to add more interest to the background.
The finishing touches were a couple of Tim Holtz Clippings Stickers, edging the tag with black ink and then adding a piece of hessian ribbon.
I hope you like my simple tag on Simplicity Sunday!
