The theme of this month's tag is faux industrial metal. Using all Stampin' Up! products, I applied multiple layers of copper embossing powder until it was thick enough to stay warm and accept a rubber stamp impression. I applied black StazOn to the edges of the tag to give it a worn or dirty look. Since I didn't have any actual gears to attach I used a gear stamp both in the background and on a black piece of cardstock.
Great tag! I love the saying. You did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteYou really captured the industrial look. The technique you used is one of my favourite, it is so versatile. A really wonderful tag.
ReplyDeleteGreat tag! I love the look of the thick embossing powder & stamping!

ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice comment on my tag. You did...what?! I don't know how you achieved this look (too advanced for me :) but it is super. And yes! StazOn ink to age the edges. Now I know what I did wrong trying to age the foil with Distress. Thanks!
