Christmas Tag

Hi,
The festive season is fast approaching & I took it literally to make this tag.. having incorporated "bling" in all form I could muster..
3D glitter, glitter embossing,  brush glitter, glitter pen, pearls..  u name it :D
But I have tried to keep it as CAS as possible as that's my favourite style :)
Here it is. .





I've cut the tag from red cardstock, having Ranger craft tag as template.. saves the trouble of all the measurements which am always lazy about ;)

I've white embossed the snowflakes & sentiment from "Noel" stampset.

*TIPS* alert..! am new to heat embossing & I always mess up coz I was unable to clear off the excess powder properly... So I tried something & it worked wonders :)
Just try rubbing the surface to be embossed, with a completely DRY natural hair brush.. rubbing fast like this is another way to remove the static electricity I guess.. I often hear this term in most video tutorials :D
yes I did achieve better results after this  !!

ornaments are made from handmade paper stuck on cardstock,  hand drawn & fussy cut. . same goes for the holly leaves..

The metal string was difficult to attach.. so I made it like a hook & stuck it with tape on the back as well as the end at the front.. The ornament hides it all :)
i made the metal bow separately& stuck with double sided thin adhesive tape..

I can't remember what all I did with the glitter part coz there was way too many & absolutely in contrast to what I usually do, keeping it minimal :)
I guess it doesn't show up well in the pic though..
white dots on the bg with white gel pen.. golden trim for the bow :) ornaments stuck with foam squares for dimension :)

Done.

Hope you enjoyed this. Do lemme kno ur comments. They mean a lot to me. Thanks for your time :)
Create. Have fun.

CAS tag : SMILE

Hello,
Here's a CAS tag I have made.





I used watercolor paper for the base.for the background,  I Sponged inks (blue, purple) over Tim Holtz bubbles stencils. I misted some sky blue color over all & a darker shade sponged at the edges. I stuck this over cardstock with glue runner & cut along the edges leaving a white border.

I stamped, colored and cut the flowers and leaves separately. Stuck flower using foam squares. Bent the leaves & tuck in behing the flower, sticking the base with glue & tip with foam square. This gives a wonderful dimension.

I stamped the sentiment (technique tuesday stamps) with memento tuxedo black ink. (I would have preferred embossing but no heat gun ryt now)
Added faux stitches with white gel pen.

I've used silver ribbon to tie the tag.
Done.

Hope you liked it. Cheers.
Create. Have fun.

Tag - SPORTS

Hello,
  Here's another textured tag. I absolutely love the "colour splash" Fx in photo editing, which is, having few elements in colour in an otherwise desaturated background. So I decided to do the same on paper & the sports theme seemed to match it perfectly.
Here's the tag.







Steps follow, digital remix at the end.

I decided upon the elements on the layout first And then made each of them.
The "#1" &  hoop was done with 3D liner, the ball with modeling clay.




3D liner applied to OHP sheet & peeled off carefully with the  help of craft knife. It's flexible when dry & perfect for the ropes.
Gave a coat of gesso over all of them & colored with acrylic paints.
As u can see I have colored only the ball with bright colors and everything else in black white.

For the base, I cut 6"×2 1/2" cardstock, applied gesso with an old game station card. This gives more texture than with a brush.
I sponged black paint on the edges.
Random stamping of scripts.
Modelling paste & stencil used for the numbers.





Arranged the elements in their respective place & gave the highlights & faux stitches with white gel pen.





Finally I gave a coat of modpodge to seal everything.





For the digital remix, I wondered how the colored version will look & what's not possible digitally ! !





Hope you liked it. Cheers.!

Tag time !!!

Hello,
It' tag time. This is the first tag I have created. When I saw the textured tag theme I was so excited & had to do it ASAP. Right now am going by all those challenges coz it's so much fun to take a topic and work on it. So here's what I have come up with.





steps follow & digital remix at the end

I cut out a 5×6" cardstock, folded in half and stuck firmly. Took a texture decoupage paper & wrapped up the tag sticking it with mod podge.





I stamped & cut out stamps from different pattern papers from the 'sunrise, sunset' collection





Assembling & sticking them randomoy on to the tag & distressed edges with gathered twigs.









Used flutterby, tim holtz bubbles along with homemade modelling paste ( think I messed up a little bit with the consistency this time) for the texture.





Wrote "post it" (I dunno why I chose that :D is it even meaningful?!!) With uniball signo white pen & applied glossy accents for dimension.
I applied gesso with a pallete knife randomly onto the edges. It took up the distress ink in some places & gave that burnt effect. This is what I love the most about this project.
Set the eyelet to the punched hole & attached a brown paper rope.





Finally gave a coat of mod podge to seal everything & for a bit of lustre.
Tag is Done.
This is how it looks on the backside. I have left it plain with the texture paper.





For the digital remix, I have a layout this time. I tried to mirror the tag. Not so satisfied with this one though. May update if I do something better.





Cheers.
Create. Have fun
