I
love it when I can use the same product in different ways. Like on
these two tags using my kaleidoscope stencil from the Crafter’s Workshop. The backgrounds were made using the same stencil with
different products to create two unique tags.
Journey Tag
To
begin this tag I used my kaleidoscope stencil with embossing ink and clear ultra-thick embossing powder, commonly called UTEE. Simply lay
the stencil on top of the manila tag and push the pad through the
stencil. Next sprinkle with clear UTEE and heat until the granules
melt. Another option is to stamp the background first and then emboss
the tag. Next grab some Distress paints in colors you like and add them
to your craft mat in small piles near each other. Add water to these
colors and swipe your tag through the paints careful not to over mix. I
started with just mustard yellow and orange marmalade. Wipe off excess
from the embossed areas and dry it using a heat gun. Repeat this
process with another color to give it that pop. Dip the edges of the
tag into the paint as well.
To
create the flower, I used Wendy Vecchi’s clearly for art with my
quatrefoil stencil and distress paints. Start by cutting a shape out of
the clearly for art using a die cut machine. I used Sizzix/Tim Holtz Tattered Florals.
Next
lay your stencil over the flower and with a paint brush carefully paint
over the stencil onto the shape. Do not push too hard or it will bleed
under the stencil. Another option is to sponge it on using a cosmetic
sponge.
Heat
the Clearly for Art to dry the paint and to make the piece flexible.
Once the clearly art heats up enough, bend the edges of the flower
towards the center creating a unique piece. Don’t like the shape? Heat
it up again and it goes flat. You can play with this for hours. Add
on some chipboard buttons to create a layered center for the flower.
Shop supplies for the Journey Tag:
To
begin this tag, I used a manila tag, some distress inks, a craft mat
and a blending tool. Here I am using monochromatic colors but you can
blend any colors your like.
Next spray your stencil with a misting bottle. You want to have the stencil covered with water but not soaking.
Flip
this stencil over (water side down) into the distress inked tag. I
like to use a roll of paper towels to press it into the tag.
Gently lift the stencil off the tag and dry with a heat tool. The water removes some of the ink to create a ghost effect.
After
distress the edges of the tag, I used the same stamp, Tim Holtz Papillon, I used in the Journey tag but I stamped off the ink to create
a lighter image. I die-cut some more shapes out of the clearly for
art, this time a Sizzix/Tim Holtz Heart Wings Die. On the heart I used
my subway stencil, this time painting the stencil with distress paint
and then stamping it onto the heart to get the reverse image. I painted
the wings using distress ink in a sweeping motion to create the streaks
on the wings. The little flowers are shrink plastic die-cut flowers to
match the wings. After placing the heart on the tag, I added some
layered buttons & brads, a metal word band, and a small heart brad.
I love a pop of black so I tied some twine at the top to finish the
tag.
