i {heart} papers Day

It's i {heart} papers day here on the blog.  I got a new Lawn Fawn stamp set, Year Two, in the other day, and I needed this one.  [I am always late with birthday cards~]

I just adore tags on cards and when I saw Tag You're It! sketch I knew I had to join in.  For my tag, I used a couple of altered techniques.  I used a pencil eraser to make the dots using color ink, then, I re-stamped over them with white pigment ink (a subtle bokah effect).  Once dried, I did a partial blackboard effect by swiping the pigment ink across the tag.  I like the muted end result.

I especially loved the dual usage with the tilt

Supplies I used from i {heart} papers:

INKS:  Memento Inks; (Potter's Clay, New Sprout), Tuxedo Black


Thanks for stopping by~
