Since We Cannot Change Reality by Bev Hilton

Hello everybody. Wednesday again already and today I am sharing a large tag which I made a while back. I just love the Dinky stencils by That's Crafty! and this was actually one of the first projects I made with them.







Here's what I used...


That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils - Eye, Star Shower, Harlequin, Raindrops, Bubbles
Brusho Crystals - Orange, Gamboge, Violet, Yellow, Turquoise, Dark Brown
Distress Inks - Spiced Marmalade, Seedless Preserve, Black Soot
White ribbon from my stash


Here's what I did...


I began with a piece of watercolour card measuring 6 x 7 inches. I spritzed with water and sprinkled over all the Brusho's in the areas I wanted them and let them do their magic. I aided the drying with a heat tool and then spritzed the card again in areas where I needed to add more until I was happy with the look.

I then took the Dinky Eye stencil and blended through with the Black Soot Distress ink. I then used the Seedless Preserve to ink through the Harlequin stencil, the Spiced Marmalade to ink through the Bubbles stencil and the white ink pad to ink a few stars. The bottom ones didn't come out too well so I drew round them with the white gel pen.

I then took the Raindrops stencil and inked through with the Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink. Once happy I placed the word stencil down and applied sparkle medium through the stencil to create the word Imagine. I set this aside to dry while stamping out my words. I cut the wording in order to spread them out across the tag. I then glued the wording to the tag. I drew round the words with a black fine liner pen and also directly around the stamping. I highlighted the eye with a white geI pen and then blended the Vintage Photo Distress Oxide around the edge of the piece before mounting on to a piece of coloured card. I then mounted onto black card stock.

I decided to distress the edges a little so used a distressing tool to do this before mounting onto a white card base. I snipped off the corners and punched a hole for the ribbon. I didn't have ribbon that would match my colours so I pressed the Distress ink pads onto my craft mat and spritzed with water. I dabbed the ribbon through the inks and dried with a heat tool. Perfect matching ribbon. Happy days.


I do hope you like it. Enjoy the rest of your week and hope to see you all again soon.

Much love,
