I made this tag for the UK stampers forum swap using a mix of Concord & 9th and Altenew stamps and stencils and lot of embossing!
I actually started with some inky backgrounds that were from previous sessions of gelli printing and messing with inks. There are two backgrounds used on this as the tag was too long for the panels I had. However because I then stencilled and added the stamped and die cut pieces on top it’s not so obvious that there were two panels.
I used the leftover of one of the panels to then stamp and die cut some flowers, another one for the rest of the flowers and then a green themed inky panel for the leaves.
All the leaves were stamped and embossed with green powder and the flowers with an orange powder.
I actually started however with the stamped sentiment direct onto the background on the tag using that orange powder to emboss. This was from the Garden path stamps from Concord & 9th.
Then I took the stencils from that set and added flowers and leaves with ink and the final stencil with the pearl accents to add texture and shine.
Then I did the stamping and die cutting using the Smile More Altenew set.
I added the flowers and leaves on top around the tag to create the texture and with all the colour in the gelli prints they are stamped on and the shiny embossing they make pretty funky flowers and leaves I think!
I just added the pink trim for the top then and called it done!
Really enjoyed putting together this floral but autumnal tag!
Happy crafting!
