~Saturday August 16~Sunday Stampers 320~Discoveries Tag~SSS: Summer

Happy Saturday!

Yay, the weekend arrived! tooo fast I think after all!

I wanted to make a project for Hels Sheridan's Sunday Stampers Challenge, the theme this week, Natural Colours and Elements. Also while I was at it, the end result fits the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Summer. I played for a bit today and made some backgrounds on various tags I cut up from manila folders. The absolute most fun in making this tag project is I got to play with new toys!

I finally acquired an acrylic block big enough to use a magical bird from the Inkadinkado Morphic Birds set. I have always wanted to use this one and now I am so happy I did :) Also I got a couple of new (to me) Holtz dies, Tattered Flower Garland and Frameworks Lattice. Just starting with them and I am by no means done, so exciting!!

Anyways here is my naturally Summer tag, I hope my interpretation is ok :)


I Distress Inked the background with Wild Honey and Vintage Photo inks. Then, I used Distress Embossing Ink to stamp my bird and heat embossed with Ranger Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder in clear. 


I die cut the lattice and petals from book pages from The Odyssey. (It was a falling apart copy rescued from the certain doom it was sentenced to by one High School Lit Teacher) The petals and leaves were also inked with various Distress Inks.



I included these two photos as well. On one of my previous projects I found I reallllllly liked the see them backlit. The colors just POP and glow. I love how the paper flowers turned translucent. I think the embossing shines the best this way I believe :)




Thanks so much for reading along about my small Discoveries today!
