I embossed a metal tag with Tim's New Leaves Texture Fade from Sizzix, (I love it!!!) then added a little Metallic Distress Stains to the raised portions. I gave this a little Vintage Photo Distress Inking, and then heat embossed that with Ranger's Fine Clear Embossing Powder. I wasn't sure Tim's technique with the Perfect Pearls was going to work on a metal tag, but as you can see in the next picture, it did! I am in love with how this turned out! |
|
I really didn't want to cover up my tag...you know how I am about backgrounds, but I've been aching to use Mario III's Leaf Blueprint Stamps. I cut out a piece of plastic packaging from some Grunge Board to use as my base. |
|
I stamped the arranged trio of Blueprint Leaves in Jet Black Archival onto the packaging. LOVE! I gave this a little heat to dry well. |
|
I die cut the packaging, and now it's a tag too! |
|
I painted and glazed some Vintaj leaves with Vintaj Patinas to add to the tag. I added some Seasonal Chit Chat Letters and some Dresden Foil Lace to the tag, and then added this plastic tag on top of the metal tag. |
|
I stained some seam binding to finish my tag off. |

I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
Oh my goodness, this may be your best yet! But then I love fall, the leaves, the color. I really should get in gear and do a project for this week's CC2C! Great work, Anita, as always!
ReplyDeleteStunningly creative as always, and this is an absolute cracker! Love the metal sheen and the embossed leaves are wonderful! Acetate stamping layer another dream. I've been resisting the tag die, thinking "oh, come on, you can handcut a tag' but I'm slipping, slipping...

Oh this is just so stunning! I just love it!
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow, Anita! This one's got it all: dimension, shine, color, texture...wow, wow, wow! Such amazing use of the clear packaging. i agree, it would have been a crime to cover up that gorgeous background. Thanks for the wonderful step by step.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love it especially the way you added the overlay to the tag.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Beautiful tag, Anita! So many rich colors, I love your background! Thanks for showing us how you made it :)
ReplyDeleteHello Anita
ReplyDeleteI am loving what you have created on this Tag, firstly, your Bg has such a rich feel, and such warmth too. You could have left it like this and it would look good, but you went the step further to add a 'Wow' to your project, and the clear packaging works perfectly as another layer. What I am crazy about though are your foil trims, they are just stunning to finish off this Tag. Beautiful work.
Smiles:)

Hi Anita, when I first saw the tag I thought, how the heck has she managed to stamp over that embossing! Well, now I know and it was a genius idea, not only does it leave your gorgeous coloured tag, it adds an amazing twist too. Love it, love the colours, the design, the ribbon, the embellies - everything!! I really must give this a go. Crafty hugs, Anne x
