This is my latest make 2 gift tags!
I've made these using an inkduster and Adirondak inks for the background. To do this you tear a piece of copy paper in hill shapes (be careful not to create boobies) and starting from the bottom you ink it using an inkduster for a softer effect or use a brayer for a bolder effect. once you are happy with the first bit move the hills up and repeat, this makes the first bit darker and the seccond hill softer and adds perspective. TIP - if you move the hills around it looks more like a landscape.
Keep going until you are about 1 third up the tag or card. Then take a second colour and inkdust or brayer the top half making it paler as you get towards the hills - this creates the sky. Over stamp in whatever stamps you like! On these tags, I have used Inkylicious stamps - Dandelion Wishes, Delicate Vine and Create A Collage Wild Meadow. I've added a bit of gold glitter to the Dandelion heads for that bit of sparkle!
Then add whatever you like as a tie - here I've taken chalk white vintage crinkle ribbon, dyed it and scrunched it up to match the tag. You can use these lovely tags to finish off that perfect gift for someone special. Or why not use it on a scrapbook page - all inks are acid free so are perfectly safe for scrapbooking.
