Garden Tag by Alison Hall

Hi everyone! I've been playing with the new
PaperArtsy Infusions pigment powders, and I have a garden-themed tag, featuring
PaperArtsy Sara Naumann stamps, to share with you today.
Here's what I used...
PaperArtsy Infusions - A Bit Jaded, Emerald Isle,
Lemoncello
PaperArtsy Fresco Finish - Metallic Glaze, Honey
Dew, South Pacific
Water Spray Bottle, Book page, Old Store Card,
Round Paintbrush, Heat Gun, Craft Mat
Here's what I did...
1. I began by using a glue stick to adhere a book
page to the size 8 tag. When the glue was dry, I tore the excess book page away
from around the edges of the tag.
2. I pieced a small hole in the lids of the
PaperArtsy Infusions, then sprinkled a few grains of each colour over the tag.
I squeezed out a line of PaperArtsy Metallic Glaze at the top of the tag, then
used the old store card to spread the glaze down over the tag. This activates
the colours of the Infusions, and also sets them with a lovely metallic sheen.
3. Using the Sara Naumann stencil, I traced three
of the leafy sprigs using a black journalling pen. I then painted around them
with Fresco Finish South Pacific paint. I re-drew the outlines after with the
black pen, to make them stand out more.
4. Using Fresco Finish Honey Dew paint, I stamped a
few of the flowers around the edges of the tag, then over-stamped them with Memento
Nautical Blue. Using Jet Black Archival Ink, I stamped the word 'reverie' and
the dots a few times, over the background.
5. I watered down some Honey Dew paint and used a
paintbrush to add some splatters to the background.
6. The phrase was stamped onto the unprinted edge
of some book page, then cut out, the edges inked with black, and adhered to the
tag with the glue stick. I used the blending foam to ink the edges of the
tag.
7. I sprinkled a few grains of Emerald Isle
Infusions onto my craft mat, mixed in a little water, then used this
custom-made ink to colour a piece of crinkle ribbon. I rolled the ribbon into a
ball to crinkle it, dried it with a heat gun, and threaded it through the top
of the tag.
Here's a closer look, where hopefully you can see
the lovely shimmer of the metallic glaze on the leaves.
Happy crafting!
