On a scrap of smooth cream cardstock, I stamped a script text design. To stamp (Hero Arts La Letter), I misted the stamp with Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions Ink Spray. (To clean the spray ink off of the stamp, I misted it with water and used a rub-it scrub-it stamp scrubber.) After stamping the text on the paper, I placed the template over the paper and used an ink blending tool to apply Peacock Feathers Distress Ink over the stencil, using it like a mask. I used only part of the design so that I had three blocks.
I tore the edges of the strip around the three blocks. After tearing, I misted the piece with Perfect Pearl Perfect Pearls Mist. I applied Vintage photo Distres Ink to the edges of the strip.
For the tag base, I misted a kraft tag with Cappuccino Perfect Pearls Mist. After drying the tag, I used the stencil as a mask to create a border around the tag. I used an ink blending tool with Vintage Photo Distress Ink with the stencil. I love the tone on tone effect it created.
I added a light touch of Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink to the center of each of the quilt blocks to add a touch of color and highlight. I then adhered the torn strip to the kraft tag.
I tore three strips of the cream cardstock and added my three words to each using Hero Arts Printer’s Type letter stamps with Coffee Archival Ink. I inked the edge of each strip with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
I adhered each word strip to the tag centering each over a block.
I added machine stitching over the end of each strip.
At the top of the tag I added a velvet millinery style flower and leaf, both souvenirs from a recent visit to the downtown Los Angeles garment district. I love that the flower works so well with the touch of yellow I added to each of the stenciled squares.
