Alphabet Tags - A for Allium

I noticed that this year there are quite a few alphabet tag swaps on the go.  I thought I would make a set for myself and use it as an opportunity to use as many techniques as I could so that they could be used as a kind of reference for days when my mojo has disappeared completely or when I was having a senior moment and had totally forgotten everything!

This tag is cut from glossy black card using the Tim Holtz die and has been stamped using a Stampendous stamp 'Allium' using Perfect Medium and then dusting with Interference Mica Powders.  It is one of my favourite techniques and I love the iridescent colours.  You have to be careful to dust everything with an embossing buddy (anti static pad) before you start otherwise the powder goes everywhere!  I finished it off with a key chain and a name tag in black shrink plastic.

Thank you for visiting and do leave a comment - all of which are greatly appreciated.

    Your tag with the allium plants is gorgeous. I tried corn starch in a bag. That didn't work. So I bought the Embossing Buddy and that didn't work. I am not a very good stamper.
