So today I started with a white tag, embossed it with clear EP and then spritzed with Glimmer Mist. After it had dried I placed the tag between two sheets of typing paper and ironed off the embossing powder. Then I restamped with the bubble wrap and used a glittery EP powder (you can see it at the bottom of the tag). 
Tag Tuesday's challenge this week is GLITTER. I stamped this little CRAFTY SECRETS mermaid with Archival and then did a Technique Junkies MARKER WASH on the mermaid and shells. After that was dry I went back with a glue pen and glitter. (LOVE THE GLITTER!) I tried to get a picture of all that shiny goodness but it's the wrong time of day. Trust me - WHOLE TAG JUST SPARKLES!
Here you can see the difference in size between the regular sized bubble wrap and the mini. Fortunately, I still have LOTS and LOTS of the mini left for other projects. Don't you love how the wrinkles in the bubble wrap translate on to the background?Stamps: Crafty Secrets MERMAIDS

I like your bubble wrap technique but what really caught my eye is the way you used the MS branch punch for underwater vegetation. It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove your bubble wrap technique! It came out beautifully! Your tag is simply delightful! LynnF
ReplyDeleteAll those steps really paid off. This is so beautiful. I love the bubble wrap and the drywall joint tape. So clever. I also love sparkly things.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone else - that bubble wrap background is so perfect for this tag. And the MS punch. And, the image, too! Very nice tag!!!
ReplyDeleteToo fun -- the bubble wrap kind of reminds me of a scale pattern and I bet the shimmer and shine is impressive! Wonderful details, like the seaweed from the branch punch and the pearl.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I didn't realize there was a tiny sized bubble wrap; now I'm going have to check for it!
Love that background effect and it's perfect with the mermaid and shells - really love the overall look of this tag!
