Pyramid Collage Tag/Card

Drea here, bringing you the heat today with this tag/card that I made using lots of fun stamps from Red Rubber Designs! The tag features the Pyramid Collage Cling Mount Rubber Stamp, using the postage image from the Fanciful Vintage unmounted set stamped onto the background of orange cardstock colored with water and Distress Ink (Candied Apple).

Then I colored a piece of white cardstock with water and Distress Inks (Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade, and Ripe Persimmon) to make the background for the Pyramid Collage stamp, and the other piece of postage sticking out using the Vintage Postage Cling Mount Rubber Stamp stamped with Distress Ink (Candied Apple).

I used water and Distress Inks (Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, Ripe Persimmon, and Spiced Marmalade) again, to color the orange and yellow fibers that I tied along with my red fibers through the hole on top, where I embossed the Reinforcers stamp with gold, which is on sale and perfect for tag making!

After using the same colored Distress Inks to make the background of my card, I embossed the sun rays on top with the Rays of Hope Cling Mount Stamp using Ranger's Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder, which gives it some shimmer that you can see through to the background. You can also see a close-up of the machine stitching that I did around my card.

Instead of a sun coming from the rays, I embossed a medallion from the Grand Medallions Unmounted Stamp Set using Ranger's Gold Embossing Powder onto black cardstock, which I also used to emboss the script on the bottom of the card with the Vintage Backgrounds Cling Mount Rubber Stamp. To make the flowers, I used my inks again with flowers cut from white cardstock with my Cricut Expression using flower #34 from the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge. Then I added some vintage gold buttons to the centers.
