Pencil Marks Tag

Image
  Hi, I'm Vero (@ Vero.kt) and I welcome you to today's inspiration. How's everybody ? I've been playing  with   Mix it up 2   ,   Mix it up 1   ,  Mix a sentiment 3   and   Pencil Marks  6     to  create a Tag   that I hope you like . On watercolor paper, I play with different spray inks to create a colorful layer and use a blow dryer to speed up the process. I choose a stencil and apply micro distress glaze (this medium is waterproof, so the surfaces you apply it to won't be affected by water. You can use it as a resist when applying watercolors or any water-based paint or ink) .) I use a dryer to speed up the process and to add interest and depth to the page, I stamp different stamps with permanent ink . One of the parts that I enjoy the most is the composition, I have to admit that it is  usually the part that takes me the most. A few splashes with white acrylic and we would have our page. Now I lea...

How to use gelli prints for easy background for tags

Image
Hi,  today I have for you inspiration how to use gelli prints in your crafting. I think everybody who loves gelli printing has got stash of nice prints and no time to use them or no ideas  ....  maybe? I love to use them the easiest way - make collage for any type of background. All my gelli prints were made with Rubber dance stamps, because they are top quality and perfect for gelli printing.  Today I will show you 4 tags with collaged background. I will not list specific products, just use any of your Rubber dance stamps (I used many of them) , I also have always in my drawer stamped and heat embossed images to be coloured or for to be use as focal points. And when I have idea for some project is it so handy to use them.  Each tag is die cut from black or classic watercolour paper (it is Sizzix die designed by Tim Holtz). 1. At my tag I glued with basic stick glue teared gelli prints to make collage, than I took stamps and embossing ink and white embossin...

Crazy Flowers Bottle Tag by Gail

Image
Hello Rubber Dance friends.  Gail here today.  I am really into bottle tags at the moment.  It's a fun size to make art on and inspires fun art.  Today I fancied some spring flowers, so grabbed the tulip from Crazy Flowers #1 I cut my bottle tag using a die.  Since my card was a bit thin I cut two and layered them together.   I stamped the middle tulip, masked and stamped the two on either side.  Then I stamped the stripey stems.  I coloured the flowers with Promarkers and used a distress ink watercolour wash to fill in the background.   Then I stamped the Happy Birthday on a white scrap and added it to the tag.  Done!! If you are making anything with Rubber Dance stamps this month link up your makes in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge for a chance to win a voucher to the shop.  Don't forget to check out the Rubber Dance webshop .  There is a selection of stamps on special offer so hop over and check out the sale!!...

Hi,  today I have small photo tutorial because I made very mixed media tags and it was very long for video and it is so easy that with photos you can easily create. For my tags I used Mandalas and Doodle borders 1 . 1. step - die cut or cut with scissors from heavy weight paper shape of tag, make collage on it with just scraps which you find in your stash (use any kind of glue) and take Mandalas stamps, clear embossing ink and different embossing powders - heat emboss randomly at tags mandalas 2.step - not necessary but I like to dry brush some white gesso, dry it (use heat tool to speed drying) 3.step - cover all tags with clear gesso and randomly put gold flakes - just straight on wet gesso, it makes beautiful effect and you are adding lovely layer  4. step - take some of your favourite stencils and any kind of texture paste, add it on tags, keep some composition, do not cover everything, project needs to breathe, I used my favourite crackle paste by Ranger  5. step - ...
