Grungy Art Tag by Melina Dahl

Hello!
It´s Melina here and today I like to share this art tag with you. I went for a grungy, kind of masculine feeling this time.
I started by covering a tag, made of watercolour paper, with Distress Oxide Walnut Stain.
I placed the stencil (TC8001) and sprayed Sparklers Spray Pale Gold on top of the tag. I love the effect you get when activating the Oxides with Sparklers Sprays instead of water!
Once dry I sprayed from far up some water to the whole tag. It almost turned that brown colour into a blue/gray.
I added a piece of sheet music to the tag and went over it with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I added some splashes of water and dabbed it off with a dry cloth.
Once happy with the look, i stamped the birds from Lynne´s Affirmations Set 2 on the left side of the tag.
I took one of the large greyboard feathers and covered it with a coat of white gesso using a palette knife. I used pieces of thin wire and wrapped around the feather to add more interest.
I added a piece of cheese cloth that I coloured with Walnut Stain Distress Ink again. I diluted some white gesso with water and made splashes on the whole tag.
I went over the feather with touches of Walnut Stain and the sprayed the feather with Sparklers spray pale gold. Once dry I glued the feather down on my tag using Multi Purpose Craft Adhesive.
At last added my quote from Lynne´s Affirmations and tied an off white ribbon and hemp twine to my tag.
I used:
Sheet Music
Cheese Cloth
Thin Wire
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hugs,
Melina
