Three different techniques to use with the same stamp

For these tags I used various blending, spraying, and water techniques...but to day I am going to show you how I used the same stamp on all three tags, but in a different way.


All the papers were Kraft or manilla color to begin with before I stamped and ink distressed them.


1) I used distress ink to stamp the tag (before adding any other colors) to create a background print - the butterfly in stamped in purple




2) I stamped in Staz-on ink in black, then blended in red distress ink over the top of the stamped image, cut the image out, and then added some red stickles to glam it up.




3) I heat embossed with red glitter embossing powder, blended with red distress ink over the embossed image, cut the image out, and added orange stickles to glam it up.




Enjoy!!
