Well I had a chance to get inky tonight! I wanted to try out a technique I had seen in the latest Craft Stamper. It was using an old drinks can and up cycling to make pretty jewellery. I didn't really want to make an item of jewellery so I made an embellishment for a tag instead!
This is my finished tag. I cut some tattered florals from an old drinks can then inked with alcohol inks and stamped with archival. I then layered them up to create the big floral embellishment. I cut the bottom of a #10 ranger tag and embossed the top with a T!m Holtz frame. It was Inked with seedless preserve, broken china and chipped sapphire. I brushed some perfect pearls over the tag. The small stampers anonymous butterflies were stamped randomly (I incorporated butterflies so I could enter this into Hels Sheridan's Sunday stamper - things that fly!!).
I added some ideology, some docrafts vintage ribbon (love love love!) and some vintage buttons. I stamped on a canvas tag and distressed it to add to the top! I linked the two pieces of card with large jump rings. And voila!
I hope you enjoy this, I'm kinda proud of it!
Happy inking
