Welcome to my Penny Black week-long celebration! I was tickled to be the guest designer for November over at Penny Black Stamps & More Challenge blog. I'd love for you go pay a visit and let them know if you enjoy my creations this week. Thanks! Today I am sharing a mixed media, altered style tag created purely with Penny Black stamps.
For my background I created a Distress ink puddle of Vintage Photo and dipped my tag into it, drying between layers. Next I stamped the Winter Berries at the top in Peeled Paint and Crushed Olive.
Along the bottom I stamped Winter Bough in Bundled Sage. Lastly, I stamped Music Background in Frayed Burlap. I spritzed my stamps with water after inking on each of stamps. Next, I stamped Holly Christmas in Aged Mahogany and then used my inks to watercolor around it.
I embossed Ornament and Scroll Ornament in gold, then dipped them into Peeled Paint, Bundled Sage, and Aged Mahogany ink puddles. I went back and sponged some ink to make the color more variegated.
Finally I mounted my ornaments to the tag and pierced holes to string the jute, an old Tim Holtz idea from one of his original Christmas tags. I embellished with a loopy organza bow and a gold filigree border sticker. Penny Black's watercolor stamping techniques blew me away years ago and caused me to fall in love with the company. I am so excited to be showcasing their stamps this week. I'm linking up to Penny Black Stamps & More for their Anything Christmas challenge
