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

 

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2753″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I started by cutting with my Sizzix dies a piece of small cardboard in a TAG shape. I did a bit of collage and I glued random pieces of paper. I toned down the collage with gesso. I set aside to dry well.
Meanwhile I choose what Distress Oxide to use and I went with the classic combination Walnut Stain, Fossilized Amber and Broken China.

I decided to work from the darkest color to the lighter one, so i smushed the ink over an acrylic stamp block , added water and transferred the color directly onto the TAG.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2752″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I kept doing it for all three colors making sure the previous layer was dry before applying the other one. When I was satisfied I spritzed some more water to create some effects. I liked the result.
To add even more interest to the background without making it too busy I decided to use Distress Crackle Paint….and of course this medium reacted again with the distress Oxide, so I moved the color around a bit creating an awesome effect.
I set aside to completely dry again.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2750″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

To finish off the TAG I used the Distress Oxide Walnut Stain to stamp the background. Before stamping, I spritzed some water and the result was definitely what I wanted! A distressed stamped image! Love the watercolor effect yet you can still see the stamp! Love love love it!

For decoration I used French Industrial Salvage Stickers by Tim Holtz and one strip of cheese cloth.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”2747,2748,2749,2750,2751,2752,2753,2754,2755″ img_size=”large”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
