Here it is Sunday again and my turn to post an
Artistic Outpost sample. This week I chose to use the Beyond the Sea plate. I stamped the two main images on a jumbo manila tag in jet black archival ink and sponged on Spun Sugar and Stormy Sky distress ink. It was a little too bright so I sponged over the whole thing again using Vintage Photo DI. The next step was to brush on translucent embossing paste, leaving the images free of paste. Once dry, I brushed on crackle embossing past. When that dried, I sponged the whole tag again with Vintage Photo DI and then the edges with Walnut Stain DI. The sentiment from the Typography plate was stamped on a ticket die cut.
For embellishments I created sort of a slithery sparkly sea air with a Prima rhinestone flourish and Tim Holtz Mirrored Stars. I added a bottle of dreams, seemingly empty because you can't see a dream but it's there. The corners are new box corners that I just listed for sale in the boutique. They are actually 4 sided box corners but I folded them flat and sort of tapped them a bit flatter with a hammer.
That's it for this week. Thanks so much for stopping by today.
These products were used to make the above tag and are available at
The Funkie Junkie Boutique where Tim Holtz/Ranger and most other name brand products are always 20% blow MSRP.
