Butterfly Tag

Hi there,

you all know how much I love Mixed Media tags. Today, I would like to show you this lovely butterfly tag that I created as a Design Team Member for the STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday and Mixed Media Challenge:

• use a Manila Tag #5 and cover it with leftover Distress Paint (Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistacchio) - be sure to come back tomorrow for my tutorial and see the project the paint was leftover from
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink (Dusty Concord)
• dye Glimmer Ice with Distress Ink (Dusty Concord) and apply it through the ARTplorations Hearts all over stencil
• add paint splatters with watered-down Distress Ink (Dusty Concord)
• create a cut file from one of the STAMPlorations Trendy Butterflies stamps with the Brother Scan'n'Cut and cut out a larger and a smaller butterfly from watercolor paper
• cover the butterflies with texture paste for more interest and color them with Distress Paint (Dusty Concord, Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, Brushed Pewter)
• stamp the newsprint from STAMPlorations Mixed Media Grunge with Wendy Vecchi Archival Ink (Watering Can) to add another layer to the butterflies
• ink up the edges of the butterflies with Distress Ink (Black Soot)
• cut out a scribble from The Lilypad Randomly Cut from a black toner copy and run it through the laminator with purple foil on top - add another scribble cut from black cardstock to make the piece more sturdy
• dye a piece of seam binding with Distress Paint (Dusty Concord) and Distress Ink (Dusty Concord) and staple it to the top of the tag together with a piece of Linen Ribbon
• adhere the scribble and the butterflies using hot glue from your glue gun

 

I would like to share my project at the following challenges:

The Paper Players Challenge #252 - Ann's Theme Challenge

Yours,
