Hi there! It’s Tanja here and today I would like to show you how to create this Mixed Media Tag using coloring on colored cardstock.
Step 1: Die Cutting and Stamping
- die cut the larger tag from the Planner Essentials 2 die set
- stamp one of the wonderful flowers from the Garden Flowers set with a grey ink
Step 2: Coloring
- color the flower with Alcohol Markers
- add shading around the flower with colored pencils
Step 3: Adding Texture to the Background
- mask the image
- stamp the grid from the Patterns 1 set with Distress Oxide Ink Evergreen Bough and the formula from the Background Stamps 3 set with Distress Oxide Ink Hickory Smoke
Step 4: Finishing Touches
- remove the mask
- add black and white acrylic paint splatters
- shade the edges of the tag with Distress Ink Ground Espresso and a Blending Brush
- dye a piece of seam binding with Distress Ink Ground Espresso and thread it through the hole of the tag
- add a sentiment sticker
My daughter Emily (9) created and similar tag and this is how it turned out – so lovely:
I hope you got inspired.
