This week we are already up to Technique #20, using Tim Holtz’s book, Compendium of Curiosities, Volume 2. This tag uses the technique on page 44 of the book, and the CC2Challenge is hosted by Studio L3.
I used a Hero Arts clock stamp for the background, to try out the enameled stamping technique, with no clue as to the theme of the tag. Then I found the little gold clocks in my stash. Wanting to use my new Movers and Shapers globe die, I came up with an idea for using the clocks and the globe together.
The Distress Ink colors I used on the tag: Peacock Feathers, Wild Honey, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. I cut the globe from grunge board and painted the stand with Gold Dabber. I painted the world part of the globe with Claudine Hellmuth Sky Blue and then went over it with Peacock Feathers Reinker. Then of course the entire globe was grunged up a bit with a sander and Vintage Photo Ink.
The ENAMELED STAMPING technique used on the background of the card (see page 44 of Tim’s book) was new for me, and I LOVE the technique!
I am entering this tag in these other challenges as well:
Hels Sheridan’s Sunday Stamper Color Riot Challenge
The Stamp Man’s Summer Sizzlers Challenge
love both tags Barb. i haven't tried the enameled stamping either so now that i've seen yours, it is definitely on my list to try!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tag - I love the golds, browns and turquoises together, and the enamelled stamping looks great. Lovely to combine the fabric with the look...
