Thank You Kindly Tag by Alison Hall

Hello everyone! Alison here today,
with a tag I made using PaperArtsy Sara Naumann stamps, Fresco Finish Paint,
and the new PaperArtsy Infusions.
Here's what I used...
Teabag Papers
Here's what I did...
1. I started off by painting the tag
with Space Cadet Fresco Finish paint. Then I applied a layer of PaperArtsy
Crackle Glaze. I used a brayer to do this, so that I got a thinnish flat layer.
I dried this with a heat gun, wafting over the tag to avoid causing bubbles.
2. I then painted on a layer of Chalk
Fresco, and watched the magical cracks appear. Once the cracks are on their
way, you can speed up the paint drying with a heat gun.
3. Next, I sprinkled some of the
PaperArtsy Infusions over the tag. I used A Bit Jaded and Emerald Isle. I
placed the Sara Naumann on the tag, then used a palette knife to apply some
Prima 3D Gloss Gel through the leafy sprig. As you scrape the gel through the
stencil, it picks up the colours from the Infusions underneath. I worked the
gel through the stencil until I could see a good amount of colour coming
through. I repeated the process, adding a couple more leafy sprigs, taking care
not to disturb the previous ones. Leave the gel to dry naturally, until it
becomes transparent, and the Infusions show through clearly, then brush off the
remaining Infusion powder.
4. I used Soft Matte Gel to glue some
teabag papers to white card, stamped the Sara Naumann leafy sprig and the
'Thank You Kindly' with black Archival ink, and cut them out. I used foam to
ink the edges of the words with black ink.
5. I then used the black Archival ink
to stamp the Helen Keller quote over the tag, then adhered the leaves and quote
with Glossy Accents.
6. I coloured some crinkle ribbon by
spritzing with water, sprinkling with some Emerald Isle Infusions, then
scrunching it up and drying with a heat gun. I finished by threading the ribbon
through the top of the tag.
I hope that you like this different
way of using the PaperArtsy Infusions pigment powders.
Thanks for dropping by,
