Hi, DT Henri\u00ebtte here today sharing two mixed media tags I’ve created using different CrafTangles products.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\nI’ve made a lot of photo’s of the entire process so let’s get started.
\nThe first thing I did was to cut two tag shapes using heavy cardboard. They are about 9 x 15 cm.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\nI covered the tags with the Craftangles ombre watercolor papers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\nand coated the tags with white gesso (I diluted the gesso with water). Gesso prepares the surface of the tags for painting\/spray inks. Without the gesso the inks will soak into the papers.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAfter the gesso dried, I’ve added texture to the tags. I used CrafTangles stencils and texture paste.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nOnce the texture paste dried I sprayed trendy teal on one tag<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nand bamboo brown on the other.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI also used these inks on my embellishments;  chipboards, cheesecloth and paper flowers.<\/div>\n

I used the same ombre watercolors paperpad to die cut my flowers.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThese art sprays give really vibrant colors to your projects.<\/div>\n
\nI also used some glimmer paste on the cheesecloth and chipboard pieces to make them shiny and glittery.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nand here is the assembled blue tag. The leaves are die cuts from scraps of cardstock and then covered with copper glitter paste. I’ve also added a few sequins and a die cut sentiment from metallic paper. Finally I’ve added some gesso in some of the area’s to get more dimension.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nOn the second tag I’ve added some lace at the bottom of the tag (the lace is also colored with the bamboo brown art spray). The sentiment is a copper metallic piece of paper with a “Thanks” sentiment printed on. You can print on metallic paper and then heat set the ink with a heat tool, then the letters won’t smear.<\/div>\n
