Dot is one of my fabulous teemie sisters from FSC and we have been having fabulous fun by skyping each other, Silvia is another teemie sister who has joined in with the fun. On one of our little natters … 2 hours + … Dot and I were discussing TH DI and she didn’t realise that Stamping Up inks do the same thing, they are also a water based dye ink.
The two tags below started off as a little demo to show Dot how they worked but then I decided to embellish and finish off. The first tag was inked, did the dropped water technique, dry embossed, stamped onto it and because my needles and cottons were on the desk I finished off with beads and millions of French knots … well a few anyway because as you know I adore doing these. For the flowers I stamped onto kitchen roll, cut out and spritzed with Memory Mists. When you have moulded the flowers into how you want them to look spray with hair spray and leave to dry this will harden them.
Used the same colour on both tags … simply because the inks were out … how lazy is that … same techniques as above but at least I used different stamps this time.

Gorgeous tags Shirl, so love the french knots, I envy you, never have been able to do them, they frustrate the hell of me because they never look right. Yours on the other hand are perfect.
