I've been wanting to play some with tags, and found the perfect opportunity today.
I started with a white tag, sponging on a background layer of Weathered Wood Distress Ink. The sentiment was stamped in Black Soot and then embossed in super fine Clear EP. YES, you can emboss with the Distress Inks. I continued to work the color onto the tag adding different layers of ink until I had the look I wanted to achieve. The flower stem was inked in Peeled Paint and then the flower sections were dabbed with Dusty Concord and stamped on the background. The hummingbird was stamped on the tag with Black Soot and then on a separate piece of cardstock with Walnut Stain. I added some Crystal Stickles and while they were drying, I worked on sponging color onto the hummingbird. The final image of the hummingbird was raised on mounting tape over the black image.
