Passion Flower by Tracy Evans

Hello Friends

My Guest designer project for AALL & Create this week is a Mixed Media tag using Tracy Evans' newly released Passion Flower stamp set #278 along with Tracy's Mesh stamp set #262 and Cracked Walls 2 Stencil by Olga Heldwein,

I don't have too many step out photos this time because this was not the original tag I created.  I had created two simple Distress Ink backgrounds using the wrinkle free technique, this one uses Peacock Feathers in the background onto watercolour card, cut into a tag shape.

I inked up Olga's stencil (yes I know, I really need to give it a good clean) with Wilted Violet Distress Ink, Spritzed it and tapped it onto the tag at the top and bottom. I love the way the bricks don't look too defined, probably because of the texture of the watercolour card.

I stamped the Passion Flowers onto the card and then again onto a separate piece of watercolour card.  The flowers are coloured with Wilted Violet Distress Ink with a touch of Picked Raspberry onto the stamens.  The leaves are coloured with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink, with a touch of Wilted Violet to add contrast.

I attached the watercolour card to a Tim Holtz chipboard tag, trimmed it and painted the edges and the tag holder with purple paint.  I stamped the mesh stamp  randomly in Peacock Feathers Distress Ink across the tag.  

Finally I stamped and cut the sentiment from some of the left over card, edged the sentiments with Wilted Violet Distress Ink before attaching.

I did finished the second tag and here it is, just in case you wondered how it turned out!

The stamps and stencil I used along with worldwide stockists can be found at AALL & Create HERE.

Thanks so much for your visit, I hope to see you soon.

Hugs, Anne xx
