Molten Tones

I love Design Seeds and have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to my favourite colour combinations from Design Seeds.  Yesterday this was one of the colour combinations posted ...

How cool is that photo and colour combination??  I just had to go and create with those colours in mind ... and this is what I came up with ...

 I inked up the tag using weathered wood DI and then stamped the TH sun ray effect in versafine and heat embossed it.  I then added fired brick and aged mahogany DI over the the tag.   before I stamped the grungey scratchings and the flourishes I misted the tag to created a splotchy effect. The edges were inked over in black soot and then distressed using my trusty TH distressing tool. The hearts are painted in fired brick stain and then crackle painted in rock candy.  Finally I added the sentiment and stained some seam binding to match.

This tag is very similar ... I used the same colours and the background is created pretty much the same way. The TH flourish swirl is stamped in versamark over the weathered wood and then heat embossed.  The butterflies were stamped using the same technique to create the resist.  The wish is a sizzix die and it is spayed in red pepper colour wash and then covered in rock candy crackle paint.  I added some black and red flat backed pearls and stamped the dream text on.

Finally I card ... i went more orangey for this one!  I used dried marigold, fired brick and aged magohany to create the background.  The stamps are all TH ones,  and I edged the sentiment in black soot before popping it onto 3d pads.  I added some black grosgrain ribbon and orange organza ribbon, some flat backed pearls and a spare heart that I had from the previous tags.
