Kat here with my 3rd & final project for the month,
The focus this month is still on the very fab distress stains
on offer in the shop for this month only,
So straight onto my creation,
(love the size of these tags)
To start,
I squeezed the distress stains
onto my craft mat, then spritzed them with water
smooched my tag into the puddle
(this technique is called wrinkle free distress)
turned it over & dyed with a heat gun,
I continued to do this until I was happy with the background,
I then went round the tag with
gathered twig limited addition Distress Ink
next I added the stamps
I used mini polka dots & sequin waste open
backgrounds with plum & maroon archival inks
I finished by adding a few swirls from the
with pale ochre archival inks
With the background done,
it's on to the embellishing part,
I cut the cage from the caged bird die
using craft metal & embossed it with an
embossing folder,
next I stamped the leaves on to the metal
with black stazon & cut them out.
I then cut the bird from (caged bird die)
& the flowers from (tattered florals die)
with book pages glued to scraps of card,
I edged them with Victorian velvet Distress Ink
& added some snaps to the centres,
I shaped all the pieces
glued them down with silicone glue,
to finish I added a sentiment on to a scrap of card
& coloured it to match,
I added some fibers through the hole at the top,
& there you have it, another XL tag, done
Hope you like It!
Have a great day, until next time,
