The chevron background
was stamped & heat embossed with clear embossing powder & the tag then initially
inked with a rainbow of Nick
Bantock inks. The letter masks were then positioned & another layer of inks
applied in the masked areas. After
taking the masks off I carefully ironed the whole tag to remove the clear embossing powder & finally stamped & heat embossed the crowns in black.
Thinking about the
back I thought I’d continue the “C” theme with black & white for Contrast using the chevron background again & heat embossing with
clear pearly embossing powder to achieve a tone on tone effect. I was grinning when I selected the black & white Checked ribbon
from my box but, by the time it
dawned on me that I’d used Crystal gems to embellish my large crown, I was
beginning to wonder whether variations of “C” were pursuing me.

You've certainly included lots of 'C' elements in this gorgeous tag and the finished effect is great. I like the chevron effect and the clever masking with the letters - s-me lucky member will love this to add to their collection I'm sure.
like this one Paula - very original idea, and it looks great. I was the lucky recipient of your A tag, which is better in real life than on the blog, someone is going to be very happy with this one!
Paula this is a fantastic tag, I love all the techniques you have used and all the "c" things you have included....very clever. I also really love the bright ink colours you chose

Paula not only is this a collage of stamps, but also a collage of ideas. Wonderful depth with the combination of masking, inking and overstamping. Fantastic balance of the design which lends movement to the tag.
Fantastic as always Paula :O)

What a fabulous tag Paula! Beautiful blending of such wonderful bright colours with seamless graduation of one colour to another. Lovely combination of techniques too and plenty of C's in the mix. I always admire the way you pay almost as much attention to the back as the front. I'd be very happy if I were adding this to my collection.
