Find Your Wings & Fly

Hi all,
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

swirls, splats & dots A5 plate

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,
