I thought I'd have a go at the perfect distress technique from the Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities. The idea is to stamp an image in distress ink, cover it with perfect pearls, then mist with water to set the perfect pearls and wick the distress ink out a bit from underneath. This is what I came up with:
I don't think I made a very good job of it - the ink colour under the gold perfect pearls blended too much into the background. I still like the overall effect though, even if, like most things I do, its not quite how it was intended.

It's a happy accident! I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteIf it works go with it and this works it has such a great sheen and wonderful shades of purple with just highlights of teal is that? Thank you for joining us with this smashing tag at Dragon's Dream TIO XOXO Zoe

I would not know what to expect it to turn out like but if the sheen is anything that you are supposed to get you certainly got it. Gorgeous sheen to this tag which is echoed in the edging on the flower. Great!
ReplyDeleteFantastic, wonderful background.
ReplyDeleteLove the swoosh of shimmer and colour. I think the tag works very well indeed. Thank you for dreaming the colour purple with us this week.
