Sunshine Tag

Hi there,

since it is the first Sunday of the month, it is time for the STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday and the start of a new Mixed Media Challenge:

• cover a piece of watercolor paper with Tissue Wrap (Melange) using Soft Matte Gel
• cut out a tag with the help of the My Favorite Things Stitched Traditional Tag STAX
• cover the whole tag with white gesso
• create a background using Distress Paints (Ripe Persimmon, Dried Marigold, Mustard Seed)
• dye Texture Paste with Color Bursts (Sepia) and apply it through the ARTplorations Flourishes stencil 
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink (Ground Espresso)
• stamp the STAMPlorations Happy Sunflower Large with Brilliance (Pearlescent Chocolate) and cover the whole tag with clear embossing powder - this will stick to the sunflower and to parts of the Distress Ink around the edges for more texture
• color the sunflower with Distress Paints (Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed)
• add tiny dots to the center of the sunflower with a white gel pen and a dark sepia PITT Artist Pen
• add the sentiment using a sticker from the Small Talk Occasions set

I would like to share my mixed media tag at the following challenges:

Creative Friday Challenge #142 - Tags

Please, join our Mixed Media Challenge over at the STAMPlorations Blog. The theme is always anything mixed media except a card. You must use at least one stencil (any brand) in your project. The Linky closes at the end of the month.

I can't wait to see your projects.
