Blue and Gold tag

Hello crafters! Today I have a tag to share with a resist effect combined with a dark blue background and metallic gold elements.

I was in the mood for a project with a dark background, but also wanted to use these fine leafy stamps from Simon Says Stamp Wildflower Cuttings. I decided to go with two resist techniques: heat embossing and colored pencils. 

Start by white embossing several of the detailed leafy designs from Simon Says Stamp Wildflower Cuttings. This stamp set comes from the new Friend Like You release.

Color the leaves with Prismacolor pencils.

Ink the tag with plenty of Distress Ink. The embossing and the colored pencil will resist the ink.

Apply Tim Holtz Gold Foundry Wax around the edges with a paint brush. Heat to activate.

Add dots of wax around the edges with a tooth pick.

Stamp with Simon Says Stamp Crackle Background.

Die cut Simon Says Stamp Giggle Thank You from gold metallic kraft stock and from black cardstock.

Add sticker sentiments using Tim Holtz Metallic Sticker Book. 

I glued a few Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Gunmetal Gems to the tag.

Layer the sentiments together to form dimensional words. 

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

Thank you for visiting! 

Happy crafting!
