Experimental Colours

Last night I played with acrylic paints ... I have to learn so much (sigh), it is quite daunting but also really good fun. From one of my experiments I made this little tag
I randomly dabbed  three different acrylic paint colours on heavy textured water colour card, cut the tag using one of the Sizzix alteration dies. I stamped on it with a Paperartsy stamp and Archival Ink (Jet Black) ... I quite like the outcome of the stamping, the black is not solid but somehow the image slots in with the background. As embellishments I chose some folded washi tape, little coloured jeweller's tags and a blck button. Enjoy your weekend, Petra.
