I hope you took time to play with the pigment inks...
it's a VERY COOL & VERY FUN technique...
Here's another tag I made for my demo table...
same technique, but this uses just denim (on sale!)for the background.
The flower ( a new tim Sizzix die) is inked with butterscotch pigment(it's on sale too!) and the stem is stamped with lettuce.
The background is stamped with olive archival...
you can see that the olive REALLY makes the saying pop, when stamped in jet black archival.
If both were black...it would be flat & boring...
I stamped this background and this one with butterscotch...
over the flower layers...
Another pigment combo that I LOVE...
red pepper & lettuce...
I want to use the scallop stamp on EVERYTHING...
I think I will!
now about those wonderful comments...

ReplyDeleteAnd in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make

Love your new tags...and I am a very very very happy ink bunny this afternoon...my hands are gloriously covered in Ranger Pigment Ink and my tshirt is splatted, which means, I have made some ART...with my new rubber...which was made by Stampers Anon...and designed by...YOU!

ReplyDeleteGuess I won't be cleaning today cuz I want to work on more tags like these. Yesterday's was fab & so much fun. Now to get inky!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty effects on the tags. Need to make some art this weekend. Waiting so patiently (not) for my stuff that I have ordered!
ReplyDeleteI love the color combinations!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used my pigment inks in a while. Looks like I will be digging them out to play with if they haven't all dried out by now...lol!
Congratulations Katrina!
ReplyDeleteBoth tags are fabulous Wendy!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
I love the shape of these tags with their scalloped edges and rounded corners. The flowers are so geat too. I can't wait for Tim's new dies.
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, Katrina! Congratulations and enjoy your Valentine surprise!
ReplyDeleteI need fresh rubbah... to make art!
Oooh, I think I'm liking that scallop stamp, too. Gorgeous tags!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day! I do love that Red Pepper/Lettuce combo. Your scallop stamp is very cute,and looks great with everything you have shown us. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love this tag - I could make a bunch of these, tie them into a banner, and bring a little spring into my house - I'm so tired of snow!
ReplyDeleteI think you should use the scallop stamp on everything!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Katrina and I love your tags.
Love your tags!
ReplyDeleteI've been doing bathroom renovations all week. Now I just need to get some energy to Make Art lol.
When is that flower die coming out?! I can't wait to be able to use it. Love your new stamp sets also. Off to make an order somewhere! Thanks for showing the tags!
ReplyDeleteAloha, Kate
Contrats, Katrina. When you win something from Wendy, it is really nice. I was a lucky winner from another drawing, and was very surprised (and happy) to get one of her new stamp sets.
ReplyDeleteThe new colors are beautiful--can't wait to try them with your stamps!! :) Penny in MO
ReplyDeleteonce again I am not going to get anything done around the house other than making fun stuff!! So much for housework and/or meals! I hope no one minds cold cereal again! When I grow up I want to be just like you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful tags Wendy as always ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! I now have the inside scoop for tomorrow's Sunday Stamper hehe

I like your scallop stamp too - I can't wait for my scrapbook store The Crafty Scrapper to get your stamps in so I can play. I got the Maya Road goodies just waiting on my ink and your stamps.
ReplyDeletethanks for the weekend inspiration:D
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Katrina! Love the tags, that technique is GREAT!
ReplyDeleteI am a newcomer to your site. You have an eye for color and composition. I like the "earthiness" of the tag. I have the Distress inks and use them almost exclusively for everything I stamp.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
OH, OH, OH, OH. . . making art today!!!
ReplyDeleteYour tags are beautiful...must get the scallop stamp and those new ink colors...so I can make art! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous as always. I am so anxious for my preordered inks to arrive and Tim's new dies. I have several on order now just to be patient. These will be fabulous to use them on.
ReplyDeleteI've had my eyes on the scallop trim stamp since your first sneak peek!!! Today's tags are awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that pigment technique! Also love those tim dies. They work great with your stamps. Thanks for the great examples!
ReplyDeletelove the tags.....All this new "stuff" is breaking the budget, but so worth it. Can't wait to keep adding to my collection. Thank you for the giveaways....KH
ReplyDeleteI love these two tags, the color combos are wonderful. I guess I will need to get some of those pigment inks... I'll try to wait until my LSS receive your stamps sets to get them, but I'm not sure I'm patient enough... I can't wait to play with them!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy! ty for sharing how you do these things! My stamps have not yet arrived but will soon! Just need my new inks! and...your books! so I will email you about how to get those..I think it is just great there is not much wait now for everyone..congrads to all winners...I agree...presents are too fun and surely appreciated by all!

ReplyDeleteLOVE the new project - and ordered 4 new stamp sets from eclectic paperie the other day - can't wait to get them and start playing! very curious about the mystery package from Ranger... lots of ink-y goodness I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteI'm liking that scallop stamp, too!
ReplyDeleteWendy -
ReplyDeleteI love those tags and I am really starting to fall in love with that scallop stamp. I love that you can change colors to make the stitching look different, I love that you can cut out the scallop, its just awesome.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

ReplyDeletei definitely like the new colors. but i said i wouldn't buy new stuff until i get organized. and i have a lot of still unused stamps that i said i would use before i got more stamps. now you show us all these lovely new tags and things and my willpower is rapidly being challenged. i must run off now and organize and stamp. i can't hold out much longer
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! My stamps and inks have not arrived yet, but hopefully when I return from vacation they will be waiting for me. PLEASE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Wendy....I'm heading for the tropics!

ReplyDeletehave a very happy valentines weekend with that special man of yours wendy....hope you are spoiling each other....big hugs kath xxxxx
ReplyDeleteGreat tags! But if you are in a pinch, realizing you don't have any tags and need one to make a project right away, do you make your own tag or just recycle an old tag and make into a new one?
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day Mr and Mrs Vecchi XXX

ReplyDeleteI love the effects you get with the colored Archival and pigment inks! I can't wait to expand my ink collection. The scalloped stamp really gives tags a whole new image--feminine grunge.
ReplyDeleteI'm back! It's Valentine's Day! Wishing you, the scallop stamp and the inks some love!
ReplyDeleteYou are just so talented...Love your ideas and your humor...lol!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day:)))

ReplyDeleteWendy, we went to the stamp convention in Columbia SC on Saturday 2/13 and saw your idea board, stamps and book at the Stampers Anonymous booth and our whole group feel in love with it. I din't notice the scallop stamp and I wish I had , because I agree I think I would get a lot of use out of it. Have a great day!!!
