Look on the bright Side Tag

Hi there,

this month the topic is Distress at the Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media Challenge:


  • cut out a tag from watercolor paper
  • create a background using a brayer and Distress Paints (Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint)
  • ink up the white spaces with Distress Ink (Salty Ocean, Mowed Lawn)
  • add some water droplets for more texture
  • stamp the little rounded rectangles from the Paper Artsy EKD02 stamp set with Wendy Vecchi Archival Ink (Fern Green, Forget-me-not)
  • stamp some trees from the same stamp set with Wendy Vecchi Archival Ink (Orange Blossom)
  • add Multi Medium Matte to the "buds" of the trees and sprinkle Prima Marketing Micro Beads (Pollen) on top
  • stamp one of the cats from the Katzelkraft Les Chats Russes stamp set directly onto the tag with Versafine (Smokey Gray) and heat-emboss it with clear embossing powder
  • stamp the cat again onto a piece of watercolor paper with the same ink and color it with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens and a waterbrush
  • add white gel pen and Glossy Accents to the nose and the eyes
  • dye a piece of seam binding with Distress Inks (Salty Ocean, Mowed Lawn) to match the project
  • ink up the edges of a sentiment sticker from the Ideaology Small Talk Set with Distress Ink (Mowed Lawn) before adding it to the tag
