This week chez
Linda at Studio L3, it is GM again and she has asked us to go for texture fades and distress, using Sir Tim's inspiration from the
Christmas tags here...
I used the clock and crown one and a usual sized tag, with it's end poking out as demonstrated!! Well, they can't touch you for it!!! Anyway, I went for a different idea to see if it worked , and mostly it did... will definitely do it again...
I swiped clear embossing ink over the texture fade then embossed in the Vagabond... Then, with 3 different embossing powders - white, silver and pewter - I highlighted different sections of the dry embossing...
This picture, above shows the great, grungy look I got when I distress inked all over with vintage photo... those birds sure do look in a pickle - no!!! sorry I mean distressed!!!
Truth be known, I would have preferred less powder on the debossed bits, so I must swipe EVEN more carefully next time
(I was QUITE careful, THIS time actually, second go...!!) But the effect, in real life, is really pleasing, anyway.
This photo shows well the contrast between the metallic and white powders, and where the brown ink is seeping through...
So there it is, Grungy Wednesday afternoon... err sorry, Monday!!! Only a little late... Thanks for looking
Love and light
Frankie

Don't know how you do what you do, but I am glad you do it! Your work is truely amazing.
btw, for the life of me I could not find your tag on the GM04 site.
Oooh this is lush, love it!! I love heat embossing, I just wish I wasn't so messy when I do it.... always end up with a desk with fine dust all over it!!
Great tag - and love the different shades of powders! Like the end poking out too!
