Mixed media tags with a tutorial

 Hello friends!

 I have started off again with blogging regularly so you are going to see me here often :) 

Today I have two mixed media tags to show you all I created this as the DT project for Crafters corner blog. 

I  have also shared a pictorial tutorial there so please hop over and leave a comment if you like it. 

Here are a few pics.. 

 My Lindys sprays always come in handy with any mixed media project. God! I love them sooo much :)

 Love those Prima embellishments <3

Here is a pictorial tutorial  for the same-

Step1:

 I used some scrap cardstock paper that I had randomly misted/sprayed using Lindys stamp gang sprays. I had a big sheet that was spoiled as I spilled a lot of my mist of it.Then it became my testing sheet for mists and finally I decided to make it my base for tags. 

 Isn't that a great way to reuse what you always thought as scrap? I simply loved using this as my base. More so as I could make use of something that was totally a waste. You can use almost any colours of sprays you wish to.

I cut this sheet into 4 rectangular tag shapes using my We R memory Keepers trim and score board. This is a trimmer cum score board in one and is a good buy if you are looking for something affordable and compact as it it is a two in one at the cost of one equipment and is fold-able at the same time thus saving storage space.

Step 2:

 I distressed the edges of the tags using the Prima comfort craft distressing tool. I just love using this tool for giving distressed edges to my paper. This is so versatile you will sure fall in love with this tool. It is by far my most favourite purchase of all times in tools!

 Step 3:

I stacked the smaller tag shape on the lager one and did this with both the sets . One of them I glued down with white glue easily available in the market. You may use the Aleene's tacky glue which have really great reviews.  and the second one I used the double sided foam tape. It is one of the best ways to give dimension.

Step 4:

I did some stamping on the tags using some black archival ink and Kaisercraft dictionary meanings stamp.

Step 5:

Added some modelling/texture paste with Crafters workshop microbial stencil and spatula.

 Step 6:

 Heat dry with Rangers heat it tool. 

Step 7:

Added some mist on the stencilled area again . I chose Sweet violet purple teal starburst spray from Lindy's stamp gang. Any colour spray can be used here.

Step 8:

I looked at how I wanted my embellishments to go. 

Step 9:

 Finally start adhering the embellishments. I have used quite a few Prima embellishments and flowers you see here.

Prima wood embellishments- Leaves and mushrooms

Prima Typo bulbs 

Prima small typo bulbs

Prima bird houses

Mulberry flowers- Poppy flower

                            Micro roses

                         Rose buds

                             Curved roses

 Step 10:

 Fussy cut some gorgeous butterflies from the Pion design paper- Paris flea market- Postcards using my Tonic scissors. Another of my HOT FAVOURITE tools! 

I then adhered them on the tag using white glue.

Step 11:

Once my butterflies where in place I applied some diamond dust and

  Prima art ingredient- Granite Mica flakes randomly to give some interest to the composition. Also added a few rhinestones here and there.

Step 12:

 I punched a hole on the top centre portion of the tag using the We r memory keepers crop a dile punch and misted some seam binding ribbon using the Lindy's sparys using the Yellow Rose of Texas and Hottie patoite Hot pink starburst spray and Mowed lawn distress ink.

Next was just pulling the ribbon through the punched hole and tying the knot.

Mixed Media card with Lindys sprays+background stamp

 

Hello my blogger friends!

Hope you all are doing fine.

Today I have a mixed media card to share with you all. This card uses lots and lots of Lindys sprays along with texture paste some diamond dust, glossy accents and oil pastels.

 

 

 

Lindys Sprays used-

Bachelor Button Blue

Cape Cod Coral

Rambling Rose Pink

Sea Grass Green

Sea Mint Green

Mad hatter mint

Curiouser Chartreuse- Flat Fabio

 

 

 Have a look how beautiful the sprays look on the slight glossy paper

 

For this card I decided to use a thick base to build up my design. I used the semi gloss chipboard packaging I had saved from my Martha Stewart score board.

 

The top half of the card is coloured using LSG sprays- Bachelor Button Blue and Tweedle Dee Denim, Mad hatter mint and Curiouser Chartreuse.

 

I also applied some glossy accents on the top edges and covered it with diamond dust. when it was dry I lightly applied some LSG-Tweedle Dee Denim Flat Fabio and allowed it to seep into the crevices

.

The light blue shade of the sky you see is some lindys bachelor button blue mixed with white gesso.

 

The flowers are made using texture paste with LSG Spray- Cape cod coral. After it dried I again coated it with LSG Spray-Cape Cod Coral and highlighted the centres with Rambling Rose Pink.

 

 The grasses and the backdrop on the bottom half is using LSG Sprays- Sea Grass Green and

Sea Mint Green.

The finishing touch with a few splatters using Rambling rose pink, Tweedle Dee denim and Bachelor button blue.
