The project I am sharing this week is the front cover
of a nature themed tag book which has been published in Somerset Studio. Stampington kindly allow artwork, published
in their magazines, to be shown on blogs, social media, etc (they do draw the
line at the same artwork being featured in another magazine including digi
magazines). The cover of the nature themed tag book is only partially seen in
the article.
The MDF tag forms a front cover (with another for the
rear) of a tag book with an organic, nature theme throughout.
Supplies
Extras: Calico, Silk Sari Ribbon, Under Paper
Instructions
After applying Gesso to MDF Tag, randomly apply
Grunge Paste, only small areas, here and there. Once dry, sprinkle Infusions, focusing on top area of tag, misting with
water. Tip the tag, allowing colour to
drip downwards. Leave to dry.
At the same time as staining the tag with Infusions,
use excess drip off colour to stain a piece of calico. Scrunch the calico to provide an organic
appearance once dry.
Onto under paper (always ensure under paper is
completely dry before using as a stamping surface unless you want to use damp
paper top achieve diffused stamped effects), stamp moth and Kasia Avery’s
unique marking stamps. Tear around
images. Adhere to tag, layering moth
with some strands unraveled from the torn, stained calico. Adhere the MDF waste from hole in tag onto
stamped panel with the moth.
To complete a book, layer the prepared MDF tag on top
of all tags, threading a bundle of Infusions stained re-cycled silk sari ribbon
through the holes in all tags. Wrap the
tag book with the Infusions stained calico, tying closed with a length of
calico, torn from the calico panel.
Until next week,
Wishes
