Hi everyone. I have a tag to share today which I'm entering into Simon Says Stamp and Show's theme of 'just add pearl'. The distress ink background on my tag is spritzed with perfect pearl mixed with water to give a nice subtle sparkle. The spray is easy to make using a little mister bottle filled with water and a very small amount of perfect pearl powder dropped into it, a little powder goes a very long way.
I stamped over the background with an absolutely gorgeous PaperArtsy border stamp from the Lynne Parella range and I've coloured a flower and the ribbon with distress ink to match the background. The word cut outs are from a book of Tim Holtz chit chat stickers which I've inked with distress ink around the edges before sticking down.
The beautiful vintage lady stamp is from Katzelkraft and I've stamped her onto a Stampbord tile coloured her with distress inks, scratched out some highlights with a stampbord scratching tool and then glazed over the tile with glossy accents before attaching to the tag.
