We have changed our format at
DragonsDream TIO, for this next round. Usually, you just get a title, but now we are doing RECIPES = 3 ingredients you need to add to the mix, in addition to using at least one real stamp... I used a Paperartsy plate and some Tim Holtz images, to create my tag. I also used masks by That Special Touch, and some metalic Eco paint.
I used this stamp because I thought her expression looked like a mask - nothing behind the eyes!! and this close up shows the metallic paint.
I used pan Pastels for the background and through my masks, using versamark to make the pattern stand out... this close up shows how I masked the lady off in order to stamp the caligraphy over the whole background. I did not use a block to do this, but held the stamp in my hand in order to have some faded bits... I love how the pen nibs peep out from behind the ribbon...
This picture shows the patterns caused when using the versamark through the mask, then adding more pastel colour... I am loving using these.
So this is the whole tag, showing the Tim ruffled ribbon at the bottom, also coloured with the Pan Pastels. The tie at the top is a bit of burlap.
If you would like to join in, please get inky and add your piece to the linky thing!!
Love and light
