Please pop by to see what our super talented guest, Christine, and the team have made! Fabulous inspiration! 💗

I made a tag using my 'go to' Tim Holtz Framelits Tag Set and a Cocktails Blueprint Cling Stamp Set.  I intended to make a set of tags using all 4 stamps but ran out of time, so watch this space ;-)

Summer is definitely here and I like nothing more than sitting in the shade sipping a lovely ice cold cocktail! Would you care to join me? 🍹😎😋

For the background I used Distress Oxide Inks and  splattered with Dylusions Black Marble and Altenew Frosty Pink Shimmer Sprays. When the background was dry I heat embossed with Simon's exclusive Steel Navy Embossing Powder 

I used a MISTI tool to stamp the image again onto another piece of watercolor paper using archival grey ink. I coloured the image with Distress Inks and then, when dry, heat embossed in the same Steel Navy powder.  

I coloured some crinkle ribbon (I think this may have been discontinued! :-( does anyone know?)  with Worn Lipstick and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks 

I fussy cut out the glass, umbrella and sentient and embossed the reverse side with an embossing tool to round it off a little bit. 

artsy angle ;-)

I LOVE the Tim Holtz Snarky Small Talk Stickers, the very first one in the set was perfect for my tag!! haha 

Thanks for looking!
