Well, goodness knows where last week went as I'm pretty sure I didn't sleep through it! So I was determined to do the Sunday Stampers this week. Hels has called for us to use Back to Black in memory of Amy Winehouse, so here is my contribution.
I used Black soot distress ink with a sponge applicator over the tag,especially the edges and then used the Time stamp all over it. The black swirls are I believe from Prima, I've had them ages and lost the packing. The Prima rose could not be made better by me, although I was tempted to turn it to porcelain with my melt pot but felt it looked better as it was. Then I covered some grungeboard with music tissue tape and cut out a star. The words 'The Song Lives On' were from one of my letter sets edged in black promarker. The lower edge was cut from sheet music and then a border cut with a Martha Stewart edge punch. Black and white ribbon to finish.
A tragic end to such a young spirit, my heart goes out to her family.
Very classy tag, the colours are striking. Love the bird and star too. Tracy xv
ReplyDeleteVery classy tag, and a great tribute to a great singer. I feel for her family too - it has been uncomfortable watching her decline. Such a waste of talent.
ReplyDeletetis a beautiful tribute Barb, thanks for joining in with the Sunday STamper... am loving this tag ... loads! x
