...Eeeeeek, it is December 1st! Already! Where has this year got to? I was having a rummage in my box of made stuff the other day and found these two tags...they were supposed to be part of a set I was making...which I must have got bored of and waltzed off onto something else...like you do....well I do anyway!
The inky background was created but smudging some Adirondack Felt pads onto a craft sheet, spritzing with water and then picking up the excess with some scrap paper. What is then left are some little dots of more solid colour...which I then swooshed the tag straight through.
I used a heat gun to dry off the ink so it stayed quite colourful...I did find if I left it to air dry, the colours soaked in a bit and weren't so clear and crisp. The stamping is all done with a Ranger Archival black ink pad...and all the stamps are from the Tim Holtz range from Stampers Anonymous.
To glitz up the main images I used Rock Candy Cracklepaint on the birdy...and then once this was dried I rubbed in some Rock Candy Stickles...mmm...they don't show up too well on the photo...but...the Splattery Butterfly was totally covered with the Rock Candy Stickles and it shows up pretty well on the photo **Gasps all round...did Hels actually take a decent photo????** LOL
Thanks for looking...have a great day....tis nearly Christmas!!!

{BTW...I am sooooo excited...a couple of cards I made using Mabel Lucie Attwell stamps from The Artistic Stamper have been published in this months Craft Stamper...and...there is even an extra bit on the Craft Stamper website too...**sooo exciting!!!**}
