Created with our December 2009 Kit by Janine Rachau.
- Use the back side of One Day as the base – distress & ink the edges, (I used a dark blue ink from my stash but the ink from the kit would work well also)
- Cut a 9” square of Mother Duck
- Center Mother Duck onto the base and adhere (I darkened the edges with a dark ink)
- Cut tags at various points to make a tag border, eye-balling some various sizes that fit well. Create a pattern and leave in place as you proceed to the next steps. I added two Chatterbox Fabulous tags from my stash and cut two fancy edges to a manilla tag from the kit to add a little more visual interests, …but you could easily get the same effect with just the tags included in the kit as they are.
- One by one, crinkle up each tag, and straighten it again putting them back into place so you do not have to start over arranging them.
- Ink the edges and creases of each alternate tag with the blue from our kit, and then the alternate with the green.
- Experiment with the different patterns on your tags with the penscore and the various clearsnap tips to use the “other” color on each tag. For example, if you used blue on the creases, use green to stamp. I included a few images of some of the patterns I created with the penscore for stamping.
The above photo shows a piece of the Penscore cut to fit on the acrylic piece from the Clearsnap Terrific Tool & Tips.
The following photos show different textures on penscore.
- Double mat a photo using first the opposing side of One Day, and then Granny Apple & place it in the center.
- Use some scrap strips to add some layers below where your photo will lay (I added some Magic Mesh: Dottie Ann self-adhesive mesh – lime from Scraptivity’s August 2007 kit to some kit scraps).
- First adhere the strips, then the matted photo and finally the tags so that they lay on the top a little of your photo and/or strips.
- Add an appropriate title.
