Dream A Little Dream

This month at the Creative Block - Stamper's Anonymous Yahoo Group the monthly tag swap challenge is "Dream A Little Dream With Me" while using a 3D main stamped image. The challenge was based on Tim's tutorial of  Stamp2Cut. Several members of the group where gifted this Winged Thing stamp for participating last month, so I thought I would use the same image. 
I am also submitting this tag to the Sunday Stamper challenge of "Men", The Blogger's Challenge "For The Men", and Simon Says Stamp & Show's challenge of "A Bit Of Brown".
I die cut a tag out of Tim's patterned paper, and covered it in Gesso both back and front to add stability and texture.
I covered the tag in Rock Candy Distress Crackle.
I used Distress Stain and Distress Ink to fill in the cracks with color. I stamped the word dream with Vermillion Archival Ink.
The image was stamped in Jet Black Archival and colored in with Dylusions Ink Sprays that were in Water Brushes. I cut the image apart and layered it upon itself.
Colored seam binding is used for the ribbon, and I adhered the image with foam tape for depth. The K was stamped in Vermillion and the heart I colored in myself.
 
Supplies:
From My Stash: ivory cardstock, K stamp


I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
