dressmaker tag

well I finally got to play with new stamps and also new distress stains, now I have kept saying why would I need distress stains, I've got the ink pads, got the re inkers to make my own sprays,who needs more ink, well........ yes I got tempted at the show and I'm so glad I did, love them ! so quick and the colours are so vivid, I need more !!!! For my tag background I spritzed the tag with water, added stains randomly, re -spritzed with water and let it all run into a lovely puddle, dried it off with heat gun,then dabbed more stains through a stencil, could have played all day ! then added various stamps with smokey grey versafine. The dressform etc are stamped on another piece of paper I had coloured with different stains. The stamps are new ones from Inkylicious that I also bought at the show, I'm just a sucker for sewing theme stamps, I have several different sets but end up buying more ! This is my tag for
