Tag Sam style


Sam one of the PATwits was guess designer this week with this great tag. So I thought I’d have a go following Sam’s style. I used different colours and stamps but followed her background technique.

I chose my colours

And brayered them onto the tag

Sam used one of Ellen Vargo’s stamps from Paper Artsy but I don’t have that one and so used this stamp I picked up somewhere (cannot remember where- sorry). I used archival ink in watering can and then dried the tag, I used the same same stamp but this time black. With a white paint pen I drew some highlights. I used distress ink round the edge in seedless preserves.
I moved on to the corrugated card which I painted in black Gesso. I stamped the face from the 

Lynne Perrella Collection 028 but altered the sides to fit my card. 

I added a few bits and bobs as you can see and the result was this finished tag.

Thank you for looking. I would love to read your comment. 
I will enter the challenge at Paper Artsy.

  1. I love your interpretation of Sam's lovely tag! Your use of the corrugated card is fabulous and that lovely LP image looks stunning: a gorgeous tag! Julie Ann xxx

  2. WOW Debs, love it, thanks so much for taking inspiration from my PA post. That background works really well with your stamp and the addition of the white just makes the other colours pop, and of course I just love your choice of image, you know me and anything LP!!Good luck in the draw this week.Sam xxx
