Winter tag decoration and card by Karen

A while back when I coloured some sheets of watercolour paper for this autumn project, I also coloured some paper ready to celebate winter's colours: Lots of Brusho Crystal Colours in blues and some grey with Shimmer Spray in Shimmer Silver and some SprinkleIT in Iridescent Flash for lots of sparkle as the paper catches the light.

I used one part to create a quick shaker card with some stamping and die-cut silver paper:

and I used another part to create a decoration to hang on a door (or the wall).

The tag was made by gluing the paper down well on to a large heavy-weight tag (Tim Holtz etcetera), sanding round the edges and then using Soft Relief Texture Paste in Gloss White to create some snowy features. I die-cut some snowflakes and sprinkled these and the paste with SprinkleIT Iridescent Violet to add even more sparkle!

Then, with some silvery thread and other embellishements glued on and some ribbon to hang the tag up, the project was finished!

I'm looking forward to using more of the paper left over for more cards and smaller tags. Getting lots of paper coloured and dried in advance is a great way to save time at this busy time of the year!

Feathers and Fibres

Hello Everyone,

Sarah here with you today on the blog, I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

I have a rather large wooden tag to share with you all today that feathers a lovely laser cut peacock feather.

Step 1.

Apply a layer of white gesso to tag and feather and dry.

 

Step 2.

Take a stencil and apply a layer of white soft form relief paste and dry

Step 3 

Spray tag with water and apply yellow brusho, dab off excess with a paper towel and dry.

Step 4

Using archival ink in the colour potting soil I stamped over the top of the tag and dried

Step 5

I wanted to knock back the colour of the yellow tag and brown stamping so slightly diluted some white gesso and painted over top and dried.

Step 6 

I took some clean water and added some pearl SprinkleIT to it, then splashed over the top of the tag and dried.

Step 7

I had a small amount of textured kozo paper left over so I added this on top of the tag so that I could use this as a base for my feather.

Step 8

Using Bruso Acrylic sprays in Violet, Turquoise and Sea green, I sprayed these onto the feather 3 times, drying in between layers

I hope you enjoyed today's project, it was a lot of fun creating it for you all 

Take care and have a fabulous week
