Gift Bag Tag

Hi there,

it's time for another Stencil Sunday over on the STAMPlorations Blog and this time I would like to show you this personalized gift bag tag.

• cut out a tag from Mixed Media Paper
• stamp one of the butterflies from the STAMPlorations Trendy Butterflies 2 set twice with Versamark and heat-emboss them with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
• the embossed surface will now act as a resist
• apply Distress Oxide Inks (Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet, Broken China) with a Mini Ink Blending Tool, add water droplets, mist the tag with Pearlized Water and dry the tag with a heat-tool ... repeat all these steps until you are happy with the result
• stamp the script from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Elements set with Altenew Crisp Ink (Silver Stone)
• apply Nuvo Mousse (Aquamarine) through the ARTplorations Dots all over stencil
• create matching ink by mixing Liquitex Ink (White) and Distress Re-Inker (Wilted Violet) and write the name of the recipient with a dip pen
• thread a piece of twine through the hole of the tag and add a clear gemstone on top of the "i"

I hope you got inspired and don't forget to join us for 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.

Yours,
