The background is a mix of Archival Resist and Rusted Enamel!! I've used a Darkroom Door Journey Wordblock stamped in Coffee Archival, inked over that with Broken China Distress Ink, clear embossed it and then blended over with Pine Needles DI. I think it was a bit warm last night and the inks were drying too quick but it does give a nice glossy mottled effect.
The Tim Holtz images were stamped in Coffee Archival on kraft card and I've just finished with some seam binding soaked in distress inks and stamped with Enjoy the Journey.
Hope you like and thanks for looking!!
Hi Elaine, I really like that mottled effect as it makes it look old. That DD background stamp is gorgeous, it will have to go on my wishlist now! The combination of colours that you have used are my favourites at the moment so really like them on your tag.
ReplyDeleteDo you know, I have never won a thing in my life and then this month everything goes mad - not that I am complaining but I really must go out and buy another lottery ticket before the bubble bursts......... Crafty hugs, Anne x
