Mixed media tag 'spread your wings' for Lindy's Stamp gang challenge...with tutorial!

 

 

 

Mixed media Tag made for July color challenge at Lindy's stamp gang

 

Here are some close up pictures, the color-moodboard and a tutorial for you:

 

 

 

 

I really loved the color-moodboard! The picture of the flowers in the blue sky, just gorgeous!

 

I was inspired by the pink/red and green color. But in the papers I've used, the creamy-beige color is also present. I added some blue by using those beautiful blue crystals here and there on the tag....

 

Here are the Lindy's stamp gang products I used on this tag:

Starburst - Alpine Ice rose

Starburst - Sea Grass green

Embossing powder - Orbit Olive gold

 

 

I used the lovely papers from Lemoncraft and stamps from Prima marketing - Finnabair. The laser cut chipboard pieces (birds on a branch) are from Dusty attic

 

I was inspired by the beautiful work of Anna Rogalska

 

 

And here a little tutorial for you:

 

 

Step 1: choose 4 design papers

 

Step 2: Cut some chipboard pieces to put behind papers to create 3D effect

 

 

Step 3: Spray front paper with stencil and Lindy's starburst spray Alpine Ice Rose

 

Step 4: Use a little gesso on laser-cut chipboard pieces, not too much, it doesn't have to be covered all over.

 

Step 5: Use perfect medium stamp pad to add embossing powder

 

Step 6: Add modelling paste with stencil on the last paper (the paper that is behind them all). When paste is still wet, add embossing powder. Heat the embossing powder.

 

Step 7: Add a little bit of water onto the paper, and add some spray

 

Step 8: Position your papers. Add the chipboard pieces you've cut in step 2 behind the papers.

 

Step 9: Stamp some cute stamps on a leftover piece of your design paper. Cut out with scissors and add to your tag. When all glued together, splatter some gesso and sprays all over your tag....
