Can't guess what I used? Plain vellum! Urban Scrapbook just received the new colours in Dyan Reaveley's Dylusion Ink sprays and I had to try them. Love, love these new colours! I used Tangerine Dream, Pomegranate, and Squeezed Orange on my flowers. The die-cut leaves (Sizzix Spring Greenery 659573) were sprayed with Chopped Pesto.
I started off with my die-cut tag, some Wendy Vecchi Translucent Embossing paste, and the Doily stencil from Tim Holtz. I taped down the stencil with painters tape, and applied my embossing paste. Before removing the stencil, I sprayed immediately with Dylusion's new colours Chopped Pesto and Ground Coffee. It gave it a the stencilled image a different look, some areas soaking it in more. Have to play with this technique some more! Once my tag was dry, I added a few swipes of Distress Picked Raspberry stain and Tangerine Dream spray to the tag. I die-cut a doily from Sizzix Tim Holtz On the Edge Doily, and folded about 1/4" of the edge behind my tag. I usually glue another tag backing onto my tags to finish them off as I seem to make such a mess on the back. This time, I left the bottom corner free of adhesive and curled back the top bottom corner.

I adhered my colourful vellum tea roses and leaves onto my tag. I love that middle rose pomegranate colour! I added in a Picked Raspberry painted Tim Holtz Framed Alpha Part(TH93117) and stained Seam Binding ribbon to complete my tag.

ReplyDeleteThose vellum roses are to die for, Jan. What a fantastic idea with a gorgeous result. I'm so glad you're playing along in the CC3 Challenges and know you probably don't need to win prizes, which is why (I'm assuming) you're not commenting on blogs. So I just want you to know that every week I am voting for you in my heart. Your creations are always amazing.
