Had some fun with a really old (10 years) Hero Arts shadow stamp. I used it to stamp the background for some Christmas tags. No real technique involved here, just some over-stamping to get lots of layers of subtle images.
I used Distress inks in Antique Linen, Scattered Straw and Vintage Photo to stamp the tile-look background. I like how they have a soft look. I actually thought about adding bling or other embellies and decided I liked these tags on the rustic side.
I tried a fun new technique using Paint Dabbers on acetate....waiting to see if it works. I'll let you know!
