I used to be afraid of Embossing Paste. I'm not sure why but I just never used it. Now, I can't stop using it. LOL. Today's tag uses the TH Ruler Stencil and White Embossing Paste along with Distress Paints to recreate Tim's Stencil and Embossing Paste Technique form Compendium of Curiosities III.
These are the tag backgrounds created using the paints.
The TH "Be an Individual…" stamp was stamped onto the surface of the tag using Black Archival Ink. I stamped the saying again – this time onto the smaller tag and trim down. I adhered this layer over the tag using Stampin' Dimensionals.
I used Distress Inks to dye two pieces of Crinkle Ribbon (8" and 24"). Threaded the 8" piece through the hole in the tag. Wrapped the remaining ribbon around your hand and then tied the center with the 8" piece to create the bow.
The tag was embellished with Idea-ology pieces – A clip on the sentiment piece; A Word Band tied to the front with Black Fibers; two Silver Mini Corners.

Great tag, I love your bold use of colour. Glad to hear that you’re over your fear of embossing paste too! 🙂 Thanks for joining us for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

Love your tag, Cathy! The colors of Distress inks are fabulous and the ruler stencil was a good choice to go with this piece!
SO lovely and super creative, Cathy. Thanks for sharing this with us. I enjoy your art SO much. I’m just guessing…from the cameras and typewriter that you and I might share a small addiction to all things antique and old. My house is a bit of a museum, some might say. I just LOVE going antique shopping and I also have several big pieces from my family passed down through the years. Thanks for sharing. You really brought a smile to my face. God bless your week, my friend.

Great job on your tag. Very well made tutorial. Very easy to follow. Come back and share more with us at 613 Avenue Create.
Fun colors and great bg!!!! Thank you so much for playing along with us in the Stencil It! Challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog this week 🙂
Beautiful tag! I did have to remove it from the CC3 Challenge, as it explains how to do the technique from Tim’s book. If you’re able to remove that part of your post, we’d be delighted if you’d relink it. Thanks so much!
Hi Cathy. Your tag is so pretty! Love the blended colors. You’ve used one of my more recent Tim stamps for your sentiment, too! Thanks for joining us at CC3C. <3 Candy
Never fear, embossing paste is your friend. 😉 Love this tag and the happy colors you’ve used. Nice backdrop with typewriter!! Thanks for joining us for CC3C!
