Add some texture!

It's time for a new theme over at

TAG-ALONG (and ATC's)

and this time it was my turn to challenge the ladies

and I want to see texture on their projects.

For my tag I used papers from Basicgrey in green

for my base. I used my trio punch for the shape.

I then cut a piece of designer paper from the same set

and ran it through an embossing folder to added

texture. I then added some white ink to the embossing

to make it stand out more.

This was attached to my base and I ran

it through my sewing machine.

Next I stamped and die cut the leaf using

some gold sparkle embossing powder.

You can just about see it in the photo.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment in

gold powder onto a piece of torn vellum.

The stamp set is called Gather Together (SU).

I added some eyelets to either side and laced

some hairy string through it to hold in place.

I finished with some gems in green

and some fibres at the top.

Still not satisfied, I flicked some white ink

over the whole tag.

Next up is my ATC.

I used a piece of linen card for the base

and ran some luster rub-ons across it in brown.

I tore a scrap of paper, same as above, to fit

over the top of the base.

I wrapped it with the same hairy string

and then stuck to my base.

I then die cut some leaves in vellum

using the Gather Together bundle (SU),

and again ran my finger over them with the rub-ons

to add some colour and show up the embossing.

These where stuck to opposite corners.

I punched some script into a circle

and again added the rub-ons.

You can imagine how messy my finger is now lol.

I layered up the sentiment from Hunkydory and

stuck in place.

I would like to enter my ATC into

I hope you get time to join us this month as we

do have a lovely prize up for grabs!
