Welcome again to my week long Penny Black celebration! I'm thrilled to have my first GD position at
Penny Black Stamps & More Challenge Blog and hope you'll head on over and let them know if you like my projects. :) Today I am sharing a mixed media tag with you featuring all Penny Black stamps.
I made this gorgeous watercolor background by dipping my tag into a very watery pool of Evergreen Bough and Frayed Burlap Distress Inks. I heat set the puddles between each layer. Next I stamped Winter Scroll using the remaining puddle of ink onto my tag randomly. I heat set completely, then used my embossing buddy to prepare for embossing Winter Bough in white.
I embossed Winter Glow (the poinsettia) in white and cut it out. I layered it over some die cut holly leaves from scrap (TH die) and stamped the poinsettia center in Evergreen Bough and cut it out to layer over the flower. I added some DIY tattered and dyed ribbon from
THIS tutorial as a topper, and hot glued a snowflake embellishment to the loop. If you're interested in trying some mixed media/altered techniques, take a closer look at some of your stamps and see if they can be used in a less traditional way. This is so much fun!
