SS 103 - RED, red and more red.

Well, red is one of my favourite colours - Liverpool play in red, after all!  So I was pleased to see Hels' Sunday Stamper theme today is "red" .  After yesterday's hangy piece, I have gone back to tags for this - a square one this time.  At the last minute I have turned it into a card, mounting it on a black 8x8 card base.

Here's how it started. Barn Door round the edges of the tag, a smidgen of Spun Sugar in the middle (under the text) I added Barn Door over the sequin waste and the Tim H alphabet at the bottom.  The text in the middle is stamped on a scrap which was distressed with the paper distresser.



I made up a grungepaper flower using the 3 sizes of the Wendy V roses, Barn Door again and the dotty lines background  and this time left them whole, layering them up, offsetting the patterns and using 3d foam for some height. I used rock candy distress paint on the top layer and chucked some glitter in it whilst it was cracking.  For the bottom right, i stamped another Wendy flower on vellum (this is the second attempt cos I used the wrong ink first time and it wouldn't dry - this is stazon. I cut it out and used a touch of crushed olive ink for a bit of contrst.

I had some butterflies left from yesterday, the one on the vellum flower I used a game spinner for the body. For the rest I used some bling for the bodies

Finally I made up a little "with love" scrap using the Wendy stamp, distressing and adding bling.

There's quite a lot of red going on here, which is what made me decide to mount it on the black card.

In between making this, I've cooked a roast dinner and am watching the Monaco Grand Prix (its very exciting!) - never let it be said I can't multitask!!
