Hello everyone… One of the reasons I love Spring is not only the flowers are blooming, but also the birds are singing beautifully outside of our windows at the backyard all morning.
Inspired but the birds, I created this mixed media tag for my tag ring:
I cut out canson watercolor paper 140 lbs for my tag base. Than I added some shades of blue and purples from Koi watercolor paint on the background.
I use Some Birds – ARTplorations stencil and Bloom Silhouettes – ARTplorations Stencil. I used make sponge to add the Black Distress Ink in the tag using those stencils. And then I dabbed the GooseBumps on top of the ink for extra texture on the images. Let it dried well.
Once the background was completely dry, I added some some splatters on it. Started with water, some of the London Fog FireWorks! Spray, and then I added some of the GooseBumps at the last.
I stamped the sentiment from Trendy Birds 2 – STAMPlorations stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad on white cardstock and I trimed them into word stripes. I added them on the tag with mini stapler.
I hope you all enjoy this tag as much as I do 🙂 THANK YOU for stopping by my blog today!
