New Year Tag with new products

My new stamps arrived today from That Craft Place, Lisa’s Ditzie Designs

So I was eager to use them with some new products that were on my Christmas list

I started by stamping the Art from the Heart onto a small label, with the Paperartsy minis 99 feather

Which I then coloured in with ShinHan brush markers, these are new to me and they have a really cool large brush applicator and the colours are very vibrant

Then I distressed the edges with Derwent Inktense blocks and pencils with water around the edges

I then took some 3 stripes of ribbon and coloured them the Inktense blocks in a graduated colour sequence using the blocks with water, the colour becomes permanent when heat set
Its the first time I have used these and they are  brilliant, so versatile and the intensity of the colours is amazing

I then layered the ribbon over a gelli plate print background on a larger tag and applied with DecoArt glue and seal

Applied all the layers together and finished with some really pretty yarn and some string coloured with the inks
