Another great project and a bit out of your usual color pallet. Good for you! How did you apply the inks to the card stock. They came out soooo rich? Keep up the good work. You have kicked me into high gear by providing some great inspiration! Let me know if you are ever looking for a product because I would love to return the favor!

@txlavenderlady Thanks for your kind comments. The inks were sponged onto the cardstock using cut n' dry foam. Hugs, Rachel

That is beautiful. My sister would faint if she saw this tag. I want those Fades so bad! Where did you get them & how much were they all together? If you don't mind telling me Rach. Those colors are the colors I had in my head for 2 weeks but I'm in a creative block & I'm trying to get out. Any suggestions? What helps you get unblocked? I'm thinking maybe throwing paint on a page & just building layers of paint & stuff around me & maybe it'll unlock something. I'll try anything. Fabulous tag. XO

@mississchic The Fades were from cropstop (dot com). I can't remember exactly how how they were, but around £45 for the full set, though this was a pre-order offer though. Re. creative block, youtube is probably the best source of inspiration, or have a tried and tested formula to fall back on - e.g. colour combos you know work or play with an old project and recreate it with new colours, images, embellishments etc, that should start you thikning creatively again :-) Hugs, Rachel

Rachel..........your work is simply AMAZING. Curious........do you come up with a lot of these techniques by yourself? I would love to be able to do everything you do, where do you get your inspiration from? Would love for you to make a tutorial of how you did this........I can think of how you did the blending on the debossed areas.

Thanks soo much for everything you share with us!

Hugs

@crestondiva2008 Thanks ! Most of the techniques I use are not exactly new, but I try and put my own twist on them. The StazOn technique I read about many years ago, but have tweaked it to make it my own by adding enamel accents, glossy accents and 3D elements.
