WARM WINTER WISHES

This is my last piece this month using the fabulous Winter Flowers stamp set for Creative Expressions, next month I will be working with some new designs.

I decided to work on a tag this week.

I began by spritzing the background of my tag with Cosmic Shimmer Chalk Mist Pastel Green.

Once I was happy with the coverage I dried my tag with a heat tool.

A touch of distressing around the edges of my tag.

Apply Peeled Paint Distress Ink around the edges for definition and then flick the ink with water to add blotches to the background.

Black machine stitching was then added around my tag and a Victorian Metal Corner added for further interest. I then cut two hearts from white card and stamped the Hellebore onto the heart with Black Archival Ink and then machine stitched through the centre of each.

A water brush has been used to bleach out some of the areas on the flowers. The hearts have been coloured with Peeled Paint Distress Ink and then flicked with water. 'Warm Winter Wishes' has been added, coloured with a touch of Peeled Paint Distress Ink , adding Black Soot Distress Ink to the edges of the sentiment for added definition. I have also added buttons to the centre of each flower for further dimension. A Hinge Clip has been added to the side of the tag, along with a Key Charm attached with Jump Rings.

Each heart has been backed onto black card to lift the coloured hearts from the background.

One of my trademark twine bows has been added to the top along with a dimensional flower. Simply stamp the Hellebore twice onto white card, cut out both flowers and snip into one of the flowers and bend the petals for added movement.
