First and foremost, we made a humongous mess!
Okay, finally, here are the tags we created today. I can't remember all of the process names exactly, so my apologies for not labeling these as they should be labeled. I can tell you there was a lot of stencils, Distress Paint and Ink used, and a whole lot of spritzing going on. These are meant to be used as a reference so when we go to make a card, journal page or mixed media piece, we can look at the tags and remember, hey, we can do this or that to them, and have the confidence to go for it.

Paint lifting, which was pretty cool once we got the hang of it.

The one on the right is my favorite so far of all the tags she's made.

Both of these are mine.I kind of want to draw flower outlines on the one on the right.
Using Mica spray, this one is mine. You can't really see the wonderful shimmer
the mica spray gives it.
When we were finished crafting, Dawn printed out the tag/process labels and we sat on my bed, cut them out and adhered them to the backs of the tags we've been making the last few days. We finished just in time to tune into a live chat with Tim Holtz and company. It was very enjoyable, and we're looking forward to the next one.

I love how they turned out.

ReplyDeleteMe, too!
DeleteYou did a wonderful job on all you tags! Yep, my craft table looks the same way.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can't believe the mess we made, so glad to hear that someone else did, too.
DeleteI love your tags and Dawn's too. My favorite is the steampunk mermaid. I have stencil envy. Your collection is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah, that mermaid is pretty awesome. It's a stamp, not a stencil. Dawn said to tell you, "It's a Graphics 45 line by Hampton Arts, "Voyage Beneath the Sea." The sets are literally called #1, #2 and #3 from what I can tell, and the mermaid is in set #1."
