Dog Tag

Hi there,

it's Inspiration Week over at Mennys Bastelshop and this time the topic is "Stencil":

• cut out a tag from kraft cardstock and cover it with crumpled tissue paper - use gel medium to glue it on
• apply Hero Wax White through a script stencil
• add woodgrain cardstock to the bottom of the tag
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink Ground Espresso
• stamp the little dog in the box from the My Favorite Things You rescued me set with Versafine Clair Sand Dune and color the image with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers
• add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos and highlights with a white gel pen
• thread two strands of twine through the hole of the tag

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Holly Jolly Christmas

Hi there,

I created this Mixed Media Christmas Tag for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

• cut out the largest of the Karten-Kunst Tags from watercolor paper
• adhere some torn strips of tissue paper with gel medium
• cover this first layer with some white gesso
• stamp the Karten-Kunst Script Weihnachtsgedicht with Memento Luxe Gray Flannel and heat-emboss it with clear embossing powder
• add color to the tag with watered-down Distress Ink Villainous Potion
• cut out the Karten-Kunst Star Wreath from white cardstock and color it with Distress Ink Peacock Feathers
• add some glitter to the stars with Wink of Stella Clear Glitter
• add a sticker from the Tim Holtz Small Talk Occasions set
• dye a piece of torn seam binding with some left-over purple ink and thread it through the hole of the tag

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,
