This week, I've been making tags using a tutorial based on a post I found here using Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint. I had an unopened pot of this that had been knocking around for ages, so I thought that it was a perfect Forgotten Friday project. I dug out some neglected Christmas embossing folders, and had a go.
I found that the Tim Holtz folders are much better for this project, as they are deeper etched than Cuttlebug embossing folders, for example. However, I could try using my 'Texture Boutique' embossing machine another time, which is meant to emboss much deeper than a regular die cutting machine. It just gathers dust as I don't normally get it out for embossing these days. Here are a couple of sample tags one TH, and one Cuttlebug:
This is a fun technique to do, and makes a very pretty background. I finished the blue tag off, and will finish the red and green tag another day.

Hi Judith - I posted this earlier but here is the link. Those tags look good so I must read up about that technique because I too have a pot of Rock Candy hanging around somewhere too.
I was reading up about that technique this morning. It's a great effect. Love the tag you've made Judith. My reindeer die could do with dusting off too, lol!

Hi Judith, what a lovely technique and you did a great job with it! Also have a pot of Rock Candy(with a lot of dust on it LOL) so must give that a try! Thanks for inspiring me, warm greetz, Mirandax
I saw this technique this week too and thought it looked fab. I love what you have done with your tag - just gorgeous. Elaine x
Hi Judith this is fabulous. Beautiful technique. And I love the backgrounds of both of them. Your blue Tag is wonderful but the colors of the green/red I like these colors very much and I am wondered to see your finished Tag with it.
Thanks and nice weekend
Lovely greet
