Here is my latest project. I took a photo of it at the kitchen table and then used my magic eraser in my software program to remove the background--too many shadows created by the temporary sun. I hope what's left here looks decent enough to enter some challenges.
I used dark brown ink for the image, a brown heart in the corner, and anchored everything with brown fringe pompons. Other details are included in the Materials Used section.
Materials Used:
manila shaped tag painted with
USArtQuest Perfect Pigment Cobalt Turquoise Hue acrylic paint, applied with brush and water
USArtQuest Vintage Red Sparkling Mica and Pigment Watercolor Paint
Stampin' Write chocolate marker to highlight embossed edge of tag
Rubber Dance Stamps Nostalgia Love and sentiment Love from Something Wonderful

Love it so much I just HAD to share it on google+! :-) It's always so fun to see how other people use my stamps, and this is a combination of two that I have not seen before - they sure look good together! Thank you so much for showing off my stamps and for entering our blog challenge as well! :-)
