Ellen inspired tag

Hello everyone, hope your Saturday is going well. Mine started at stupid o'clock with a wide awake ping! I had two coffees, breakfast and then fell back to sleep, so my plans for getting up early went out the window.

I love the weekend as it is the only time I have to play as like most of us the week is taken up work, chores etc. my play for today started with a tag inspired by Ellen Vargo. She was a guest designer over on the Paper Artsy blog whic you can view here

I do not have the stamps she used so I used one I made playing with fun foam. First I painted the tag with Nougart Freshco finish acrylic paint and when dry, scraped  some pumpkin Soup onto the tag.






I inked my stamp with watering can from Wendy Vecchi range with Ranger and stamped over the tag.




Ididnt think anymore stamping was needed but did use black soot distress ink around the edges.

For my smaller tag I put London bus and Pumpkin Soup on my craft sheet and picked up both colours at once with dry cut foam. This blends the colours slightly as you put them on the tag it's also streaky and uneven which I like. To add interest to the bag round I used JOFY 22 numbers in both direction  in watering can archival ink. I next used a stamp from Lin Brown 01 for my feature which I stamped in black archival.




 added a sentiment to finish.




 


Thanks to a friend of mine I would like to enter this into the stamponique challenge 146  which you can see here.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to see you soon. Bye for now
