Happy Day Owl Shaker Tag

Hi there,

this is my newest creation for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

• cut out the tag from the My Favorite Things Tag Builder Blueprints 5 twice - once from watercolor paper and once from acetate
• cut out the open version of this tag using the same die set three times - once from watercolor paper and twice from foam rubber
• create a background on the background tag using Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Broken China) and spritz it with water from your Mini Mister for extra texture
• cut out the Paper Smooches Birch Trees from watercolor paper and color the outlines with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens
• glue the birch trees to the background 
• color the front frame with the same colors of Distress Ink 
• stamp the cute little owl from the Avery Elle Woodland Wonders stamp set with Versafine (Smokey Gray) and color the image with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens and a waterbrush
• cut out a banner from watercolor paper using a die from the My Favorite Things Tag Builder Blueprints 5 die set 
• stamp the sentiment from the same Avery Elle set onto the banner using the same grey ink - heat-emboss the sentiment with clear embossing powder
• ink up the sentiment banner with Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass, Broken China)
• fill the shaker element with glitter, blue micro beads and clear seed beads
• assemble the shaker tag
• dye a piece of seam binding with Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass) and thread it through the hole of the tags

Have a wonderful day.

Yours,
