Summer Silhouette For Creative Expressions ....

Where does the time go .... it's passing way too fast at the moment with work and studies consuming most of my time. Finally I'm back with my make this week for Creative Expressions. A bright and sunny tag ... well we are still meant to be in summer time right.


My background is made up of Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Fired Brick Distress Paints, which I then sprizted with water before drying. Using Archival Ink (Vermillon) to stamp the first layer using the Floral Silhouette A5 stamp set.


Then repeated the stamped image, this time using Archival Ink (Jet Black). The quote is from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous "Way With Words" set. The "No 12" is from this Ideaology Remnant Rub Ons Set.


I added more stamped layers (Chicken Wire & Circles ) using Picket Fence Distress Paint. Then added some more Remnant Rub Ons from this set.  I've used Distress Ink (Black Soot) around the edges of the tag. I used the above paints to colour some Creative Expressions Ivory Vintage Ribbon.

Hope the sun shines at somepoint this weekend where ever you are. I'll be back next week with another DT make. Thanks for stopping by X
