Vintage Textured Tag

This tag has lots of elements that I love, including a vintage vibe, vellum and lots of feminine details.

First, I'm embarrassed to say that I've never watched a Tim Holtz video until recently (his Steampunk Valentine was super cool - I learned so many new techniques)! This morning, I watched his video on the Sizzix Shaping Kit and he talked about layering backgrounds with Distress inks. I immediately tried making a few tag backgrounds and this is one of them!

To start, I cut the tag out of watercolor paper. Then I made the background by smooshing Victorian Velvet and Antique Linen Distress Oxides ink pads onto plastic, misting them and pressing the tag into the puddle. I really like the splotches and layers that come from doing multiple layers and allowing each layer to dry.

The tag also has two Stamperia stencils - one done with brown ink and one with white texture paste for added dimension. Then I cut out a scalloped oval from vellum and heat embossed white script on top. For a final layer of texture, I used a key made from a Stamperia mold that I painted with black gesso, gold paint and bronze patina paste. The sentiment is a Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker.
