I’m so excited that this tag was chosen as one of the Top Three by Sud Sentiments Challenge Blog with the following comments from DT: I love all the layers to this beautiful tag. Thank you, DTs.
Hi Stamping Friends,
It’s time to play along with Happy Little Stampers (HLS) Mixed Media Challenge again. The March Challenge Theme is Friendship. For more details and other DTs’ inspirations, please check out the Challenge Blog. Anything mixed media could be linked up to our challenge as long as it follows our theme. Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE. If you use stamps by Happy Little Stampers and you are our random winner, your prize will be doubled!
Unlike general mixed media artworks that tend to have lots of textures, this tag has little texture, yet I managed to create lots of layers to enrich the visual effect. The following are how I made my tag.
Tag Details
1. Stamp text background (Hero Arts) on a glossy white tag.
2. Stamp floral stamps (Hero Arts) using VersaMark on text background. Heat to dry.
3. Apply Distress Inks to create VersaMark Resist effect.
4. Apply Distress inks over stencil (TWC) on tag to create tone-on-tone effect.
5. Overstamp floral stamps using Shadow Inks to create more layers.
6. Heat embossed sentiment (Paper Makeup) in black and apply Glitz Stickles on center of flowers to create texture.
Hope this tag is eye-pleasing and inspirational to you. Wish you a great day and thanks for stopping by.
