Thinking Inking Inspired-Week 4

Anyone else feeling like November snuck up on them? LOL I was out running errands today and all you see is Christmas items....Can they at least wait until Thanksgiving!? Ready or not I guess.

Anyway, I'm back today with my inspiration piece from Jennifer's Holiday Thinking Inking Series-Week 4. (You can see the video HERE) I wanted to do a gift tag instead of a card. I came up with this ACETATE tag...

I know it is difficult to see (boy, was it hard to photograph!) but that scalloped circle is sitting on an acetate tag that I made by cutting some acetate out of THIS die. Love what the stitching border looks like on clear! ....This week's lesson was on acrylic paint. I decided to do two techniques on this card. The first is the faux letterpress technique (seen in project 3). I did the swirls in silver paint, let dry, used broken china and tumbled glass on top, and finished it off with some pearlized water and glossy accents along the swirls to resemble ice.

I also did Jennifer's texture paint stamping technique. I didn't have a stamp image that would work well so I just swiped the paint across a strip of white cardstock and added the greeting on top in black ink. Love the look it gives...looks like metal! (BTW-I do have a video HERE that I did awhile ago that shows how to stamp with acrylic paint)

Thanks for stopping by! Be back soon with Week Five's inspiration project...
