UK Stampers Forum tag swap

It’s been a while since I joined in the swap for UK Stampers forum but I got inspired to make this earlier this evening.

The background was an inky background made some time ago with a bit of pen work on it. I added it to the tag I had made from chipboard.

Then I added the stamping and embossing of the word Beautiful and the splats. This gives some nice texture as well as the additional pattern.

I then used two die cut leaves using the Waffle flower Greenery die and then stamped two of the individual flowers from the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Flowers onto cardstock before inking them with blending brushes and fussy cutting them out.

I finished off with the Love & Hugs sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp set and embossed it in white on the black. I added some black gems dotted around as some extra sparkle.

I also added some waxed thread and a bit of black and white ribbon to the top of the tag.
