S B TAG

This is my second posting today !! I finished this last night and thought that i might as well put it up today !!! A dear friend of mine S.B., who makes the most gorgeous tags http://scrumplescrunch.blogspot.com/ has inspired me to have a go !! Thanks sue !!!!
  I used Gesso on the larger tag and stamped chinese text 'happiness' and some other chinese symbols into the wet Gesso and let it dry! Then i inked it with memento inks
and applied some gold rub-on, to show the texture. The smaller tag, i inked with memento inks, stamped some text over the colour. I then added a nice base to lay the punched flowers on, added a lovely sepia photo,and finished it off with some ribbons and a brad, not too bad for a first effort tag. I shall enter this into the Tag Tuesday challenge !!

AMOUR DE PAPILLON !!

Hello
My posting today is a 'resist' and masking technique ! My dearest husband Dave, bought me a wonderful array of stamping up products for christmas, from my dear friend Ruth, who is a STAMPING UP demonstrator !
I first stamped the butterflies and then masked them, then embossed the background with clear ink and clear embossing powder, then used a heat gun! Next i remasked the butterflies and inked the background with Memento Inks.I then removed the masks from the butterflies and coloured them with my trusty prismacolour pencils and Sansodor mineral spirit ! The large background stamp is called 'FRENCH SCRIPT' from Stampin Up and the butterfly stamp is from OUR DAILY BREAD DESIGNS.Hope you like it !!
