Hot Picking Inspired ....

Continuing with the stash theme from Ally Pally .... although I have been slacking off of late, I have had a few projects on the go ... but, just not finished any of them! The mojo just up and left without a word ... So today I set about putting the finishing touches to this tag ... I started by painting a thin layer of PaperArtsy Fresco Paints (Vintage Lace), once it was dry I then painted a layer of Honey Dew, then sprizted Dylusions Inks (Worn Leather & Vanilla Custard) ... eeek I have ran out of Worn Leather already:(


The stamps are from PaperArtsy Hot Pick 1004. I love these bottlecaps and epoxy stickers as you can see lol.


For the flower I used Grungepaper and Tim's Alteration Tattered Flower Die, spritzed with more Worn Leather then dipped in beeswax. I then added a sprinkling of Copper German Glass Glitter to the bottlecap and epoxy sticker then filled with clear resin.


These Post Card tags are a lovely base to work on. Right I'm off to try and flatten some rosettes in place ... pesky things!!

Gillian - this is superb! I have never seen such a creative and effective use of bottle caps! Loved seeing the macros as well.
