Hello everyone and happy
Sunday...Simona's here for another tutorial...You may not know it but
I LOVE Tags...in every size they might be...if I could, I would only
create my projects on Tags...they are versatile, you could use them
as bookmarks, or make mini Albums out of them...or a Home decor, like
today's project, as my Tag is about 26 cm x 15,5 cm – that is about
10 ¼” x 6” .
I have used the beautiful 12x12 paper
set 'Always together' by Craft o'Clock...first I have primed my paper
using Clear Gesso, then a wash of White Gesso...Cut the upper
corners to get the look of a 'proper tag' and punched a hole in the
middle.
I have used these little 'color proof'
squares as a guide to choose my colours palette...
I have added watered inks with a brush,
drying between each layer, than added splashes of colours and a lot
of stamping to build my background. Also added touches of heavy white
gesso through a stencil and darkened the edges with black ink.
Using coloured pencils I enhanced the
shadows on the flowers, then added touched of light with a white
pen. Used die cuts, cheesecloth, black thread and straws made with
book pages to build my composition, adding also some fussy cut
flowers always from the same set.
Glued everything down, then added splashes of white and black ink, green ribbon
and a chipboard quote as final touches.
Here you can see more details...
Here's the supplies used, from the
SCRAP & CRAFT Store:
As always I hope you enjoyed the
project and thank you so much for stopping by...see you next time!
Kisses&Hugs!
