The prompt for Week 18 is 'Just One Stamp".
This prompt sounds really easy, but actually I found as soon as there is a restriction on using stamps I found I wanted to use lots of them.
The background of the tag was created using Colorbox Inks brayered onto a Gelli plate and then speckled with Brusho. Once dry, I used a Tim Holtz Distress Ink in the shade of "Peacock Feathers" through a Stampers Anonymous stencil (THS003 Rays).
I stamped the Visible Image bird (part of the "Life Is Beautiful" stamp set) using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" shade of ink. I inked the edges of the tag and then mounted it onto black card. Finally, I added some Green Stickles glitter to replicate the sheen that can cometimes be seen on birds with dark feathers.
the stickles sparkles and enhances the black to give that natural green sheen that black feathers have, brilliant tag Samantha
