Morning Lovelies,

 

Now I know it is a New Year and all that and we all have such great New Year resolutions but I would like to try to do a Technique Tuesday on this blog each week and try to keep it up....time permitting!!!!

 

So I thought that I would show you a little tag that I made a little while ago using acrylic paints.......

 

So here goes......

 

 

Start off with a kraft tag and using the white gesso either paint or brayer the tag so that it is totally covered and then leave to dry…..

 

 

Next using a small amount of blue paint, I used Townhouse Teal Paint from IndigoBlu on a craft mat, roll a small brayer in to the paint coating the brayer. Then with a flicking action roll over the white tag going in different directions until it is three quarters covered but you can still see some white paint so that it looks distressed and then leave to dry…..

 

 

Next take a small amount of white paint on to your craft mat and roller out with a clean brayer. Choose a background stamp, I used the IndigoBlu Honeycomb Background .

 

 

Don’t attach it to an acrylic block but just use the corner in your hand and place it in to the white paint on the mat……

 

Then repeatedly stamp it over your background until you are happy with it and allow to dry…..

 

 

Then take another kraft tag and stamp the your favourite flower design, I used IndigoBlu Large Poinsettia, twice on the tag coming off the edge using a clear emboss pad or Versamark and then heat emboss with white powder…….

 

 

Then using the white paint and a small brush paint in the poinsettia’s removing any paint that sits on top  of the embossing with a baby wipe……

 

 

When they are dry cut them both out, leave one whole and then cut the other up so that you create a double and a single bud……

 

 

Place them on top of your tag to get your positioning and then remove the bottom one and stick the two top ones in place……

 

 

Using a black fine liner draw in some flowers stems and draw around the head of the flowers…….

 

 

Attach the bottom flower over the top of the stems to the bottom and draw around it…….

 

 

Lastly add some doodling dots and squiggle around the top of the tag, matt on to black card to make it pop and add a ribbon…..

 

 

Well I hope you like my little inspiration for today, it is such an easy thing to have a play with and if you are a little bit shy of using paints it is a good platform to start from.....

 

Until next time.....

 

Big Hugs
