The technique, shabby chic, and many more can be found by checking out Tim's web site and going to his blog. Rather than using a regular light colored shipping tag, I selected a black one. I attempted to use yellow and orange paint daubers but the paint was too dry so I went to a gold and white generic brand but that didn't work to my satisfaction so I applied a metallic green over the top and then wiped the inks off of the clear embossed image. I really like this effect.
The tag was not adorned with fibers or ribbons because I may want to add some fancy elements depending on its final use.
LOVE HOW THIS ONE TURNED OUT! The stamped image is a floral by Penny Black.

Oh, my, I really LOVE this look on the black background! I agree-- the effect you created is amazing, and the metallic shimmer makes this look like fine marble. Gorgeous work, Carolyn!
