Beautiful Love tag

Heya everyone,

I am enjoying letting my inhibitions about mixed media go and just creating with my heart...
Just Let Go and CREATE!!!

The Tag I am sharing today is a recyled tag which came with my jeans...
For the background, I have used gesso through the Tim Holtz Gothic stencil...coloured it with Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions


I made the heart with Fevicryl Shilpkar...covered the heart with crackle paste and colored with Artistry Ink...
I added the burlap heart ground it all and some meta wire to bring in some extra interest...


The chipboard piece is a leftover piece which had some chipboard embellishments attached to it...
I applied a bit of crackle paste and gesso...adde some colour with Dusty Concord Distress Stain and Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions...



I added 2 puffy stickers and a cute little heart epoxy sticker to complete the tag

Mixed Media Tag

Hello everyone,

Hope you all are having a fantastic new year...working towards your resolutions...making plans for the year ahead...trying out new things...
Its amazing how the start of a new year brings this sense of hope and happiness in everyone...

With the same hope in my heart...I tried my hand at mixed media...I altered a tag I got when I bought my jeans...Levis and Lee Cooper jeans come with some sturdy tags...so I always save them...

And now its time for the reveal....tadadada...


I know its not as complicated as the projects by all the awesome Mixed-Media artists out there...but I enjoyed creating this tag...I think the trick with mixed media is not to get overwhelmed by the idea of Mixed Media...

Now on to the details of this tag...
I coloured the whole tag with Black Dyan Reavely paint
The black lace is actually the border of a cardstock...and the silver foil in the background is a crumpled chocolate wrapper coloured a bit with Black Dyan Reavely paint (Gosh...do I love this paint)

I used the silver glitter 3-D liner by Fevicryl for the 2016...

And my favorite part...used Deco Art Crackle paste through Tim Holtz Clockwork stencil and applied Dusty Concord Distress Ink and Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions on it...



The transformation ->


I hope you liked my attempt at Mixed Media...
