Olive Branch Tag

Hello crafters! Today I have a tag to share with an olive branch on a dry embossed background.

I rarely use cardstock for an entire background and had fun making this striped background combined with dry embossing. The olive branches were colored with Distress Ink and Distress Oxide ink. Both the Tuscan Olive Branch and the Swirled Ridges comes from Simon Says Stamp Cheering For You collection.

I started out by picking three shades of Simon Says Stamp cardstock: Orange Peel, Burnt Orange, and Sunshine. Cut them into strips and adhere to a tag. Trim the edges.

Smear Distress Inks on a non-stick craft sheet and mist with water. Press the branches and olives into the ink. Let dry.

Repeat with more Distress Ink, let dry again and then add Distress Oxide Ink as the last layer. Only dab the branches here and there into the Oxide ink.

Plan where to place the branches and start gluing them down. I cut some of them in two parts. Adhere the olives with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Foam Tape.

I also doodled white highlights on the olives with a white gel pen.

The olive branches stand out nicely against the colorful background.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut with Simon Says Stamp Create stamp set and coordinating dies. Adhere the larger sentiment with foam tape.

The May Arts Faux Wrinkled Silk Ribbon was dyed with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated inks in colors coordinating with the background cardstock.

Don't add glue to all the leaves, since you want to dimension.
