Textured Mixed Media Tags by Susanne

Image
Les innlegget på norsk (post in Norwegian) Hi my dear crafty friends. It's Susanne writing today and I'd like to share some mixed media tags with the "Textured Flowers" and the "Textured Feathers" stamp sets. You can use this "recipe", of course, also on cards, ATCs or art journal pages. What you need to start is a watercolor background. I cut a tag from one of my Brusho papers: I added some color splatters with a Neocolor II crayon. I often use this technique, because it works quick and easy. Just scribble some color onto your craft mat, spray water on top, pick it up with a brush and sprinkle it all over your project :-) I decided to use something more shiny than the Neocolor II crayons also. So I activated some Twinkling H2Os and sprinkled them on top of my tag. Always wait until one layer of colour is dry, before you add the next one! I stamped two of the flowers from the "Textured Feathers" with black ink and col...

Add some paper scraps to your page with Gel Medium an cover it with Gesso.  2. Emboss the spiral from the Round In Circles set. I used a piece of scrap paper to mask the lower part. 3. Add color with Brushos. I add the pigments to the page and spray water on top. The embossing acts as a resist. So the color will not stay on the spiral. 4. Add a little blue with the Gelato Cotton Candy. Blend the color with a wet finger.  5. Cut a mask for the spiral and stamp images arround it. I used the Travel, Alphabeth Uno and For The Birds set together with Archival Ink jet black. Add some doodling with a black marker. 6. Add more doodling with Pitt Pastel pencils. This adds more dynamic and interest to your page. 7. Stamp the bird onto tissue paper and adhere it with Gel Medium. Add some black splatters with a bl...
