Firsts 2016

I  purchased  this lovely Unity stamp  set back in September  when I  was at Bellacon15 at Mall of America. We used it in our mixed media class and I thought it would be a great addition  to make some awesome art. It took me this long  to get it out and use it. After seeing the quick  tag video from  Unity I had to see if I   could  create one myself. I  decided  to emboss with white embossing  powder and then I sponged marigold, lipstick and barn door disress inks on the flower. I  used tea dye distress ink on the background of the tag. I  tried stamping and embossing  the sentiment  on the tag, but it didn't  work  out. So I cut out a die cut and stamped and embossed that with copper ep. I distressed that with tea dye, lipstick and marigold. Adding some texture paste mixed with glitter stickles using a stencil Rebekah  Meier Designs stencil.  I have yet to figure  out what to use as the tie. 

Well  I imagine  after that long story, if you're  still here, you'don't like to see the tag. Smiles. I am entering  this in the Unity blog hop. Thanks for stopping by. I  hope your weekend  is going great.

Oh, my....this is just spectacular!!! I LOVE how this turned out. I need to remember to try sponging an embossed image like that. Love the subtle texture the heat embossing gives your tag, also!!
