The playdate challenge this week is for black and white, with a choice of copper, gold or pink. I went for the pink, and ended up with this tag.
I started by sponging my only pink DI over the white tag - as this was tattered rose, it didn't have much zing, so I carefully blended in some fired brick to give it a bit more impact. Black soot then went all around the edges, with several applications to get it dark enough. The tree stamps are from Elusive Images, and the small trees were stmaped with black soot after stamping-off onto scrap paper first. The main image was stamped in black memento, then clear embossed so it stood out a bit more - I then sponged more black soot around to try to give a landscape effect, ending up with very little white left. I used white inkessential pen to highlight the base of the trees and a few of the branches, then added dots of crystal glitter on the leaves - the dots of glitter are rather larger than I would like, aas the replacement for my quickie glue pen does not have such a fine nib.
A Stunning tag, Ilove it and the stamps. Hugs x ChrisB
ReplyDeleteLove this tag Veronica. I think that's my fave tree image too and the white highlights look great.

PS Love your two previous cards too. I'm not going to risk going back to leave a comment on that post because it's the first time I've managed to get onto your comments after several tries and I'm not going to push my luck with Mr Blogger. Xx
