Here we are to a brand new challange over Simon Says Stamp!

 

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2829″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I started my tag with some die cuts from a Sizzix Alphabet, I glued them down and let the glue dry. I applied gesso with my fingers so that I could achieve a rough texture. I set aside to dry again.

One of the perks of moving is that you have the chance to find stuff you totally forgot about….like Distress Stains for example. LOL i know you are like “what how can you forget about Distress Stain?!” well, yes that’s me! I totally forgot I had a bunch of Distress Stain  so I decided to play with them and I made this backrgound! I mixed a bunch of blues and I am in love with the result![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2833″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]This stamp set by Darkroom Door is definitely one of my favorite, I love it because it is a big mix and there are so many different textures that you can either mix togheter or use separate! To stamp, I used archival ink.
When I was satisfied with the background I started layering the images. First I used a piece of wood veneer in lattice – I glued it down with gel medium. When it was completely dry I added the rest of the images, the little guy, the dog and finally the words.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2828″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]To finish off my tag I of course added stitching. There are a lot of layers, so stitching was a bit difficult, but I used the sewing machine in super slow mode 😀 (meaning that I was pressing the button so slowly and with the fear of breaking the needle!)

Last touch was to add fiber around the top hole and … my tag is done![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”2824,2825,2826,2828,2829,2830,2831,2832,2833″ img_size=”large”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
