Today I've been messing about with the good old wax paper technique.... I used photographic card for my glossy card and it works real well. Then I added Distress Oxides to see how they'd take to the gloss card - swiping it on doesn't blend very well so I smooched with the ink on a baby wipe, and used a stitched tag die to cut my shape. Then I stamped the bottom half of my lighthouse stamp and then masked out the lighthouse and yacht and stamped the seagulls at the top. Next I stamped the lighthouse and yacht on white card and coloured these with pencil and fussy cut them out and attached them to my tag. To finish I used white gel pen to colour the seagulls. I am playing along at
Rubber Dance June challenge - basically using the colour palette and the tag option. Also using my tag for the
Simon Says Monday challenge - Anything but a card, and
Southern Girls Challenge Team Lou - Anything Goes. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous tag! I especially love the way you created the background with all that texture, then an ombre effect. This made me long for the beach and is so relaxing to look at. Thank you for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
