Hello again all!!! It's the beginning of a new month and new week, and that means lots of new challenges and inspiration projects!!!
For the month of February, Sketches4All is having a "Love is in the air" mini-crop in their forum!!! Stop by and check it out... There are tons of different challenges, prizes, and inspiration to be seen!!!
My challenge is "anything but a card or a layout" for Valentine's day!!! This can be ANY TYPE of project, so long as it's not a page or card. Easy enough, right?!?
I made an altered tag using various techniques.
Here's a look:
I started with a standard #8 tag and applied a thick coat of gesso on top. After drying, I misted several Lindy's Stamp Gand "Starburst" mists to add some color and shimmer! I used black StazOn ink and a cursive print stamp to create the effect on the left side of the tag. Then, I cut a stencil on my Cricut Expression 2 using the "Edge to Edge" cartridge and applied a thin layer of molding paste over it. I went over the design with various Luminarte Silks Acrylic Glazes for a bit more color.
I also added a chipboard birdcage by Blue Fern Studios that was stamped with Versamark, then clear embossed. I sprayed it with white "Dylusions" mist and let it dry.
I finished the tag with a couple of rub-ons and various flowers by Kaisercraft, Heidi Swapp, and Petaloo. I topped several of the flowers with mist, then a thin coat of gesso for a more distressed look! I added liquid pearls around the edges and a double bow with a black pearl to to the top!
Well gang... Thanks soooo much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
