Hi Crafty friends! I am super excited to be back today sharing a mixed media tag with you today using WOW Embossing Powders and Lindy’s Gang Starburst Sprays! So let’s get started!
For today’s tag I started with a gelli print from my stash! I love using gelli prints for backgrounds! I added texture and shine to my background using texture paste, embossing powder, and WOW fab Foil. I started with a Tim Holtz stencil on my background. I added texture paste with my palette knife over the top of the stencil. I then removed the stencil and sprinkled Pinky Winky Embossing Powder (Lucky day Trio) over the texture paste. I then used my heat tool to melt the powder. I loved the added texture this gives to the powder and paste. I also applied some WOW Embossing ink and Bonding Powder through various places on the stencil. I then heat set the powder and added WOW Fab Foil over the top. The shine is subtle and it is beautiful! I added more texture and shine to my background by using a texture stamp from Tonic Studios, as well as Starburst Sprays from Lindy’s. I allowed my background to dry and once it was dry die cut this using a tag die from my stash. I added 2 colors of twine to the top of the tag and set it aside to complete the rest of the elements for my tag!
Next I started to work on my die cut elements. I love this gorgeous butterfly die cut! This sweet die cut was gifted to me by my dear friend Cindy Norberg! She is a super talented crafty friend! I added some embossing powders to the butterfly for more sparkle and shine! On the butterfly I applied Blue Aventurine Embossing Powder (Pastel Gemstones Trio) using the WOW Embossing Mixed Media Brush. I love the added texture the mixed media brush gave the powder and butterfly element. I then die cut the wreath using card stock. I die cut 3 wreath die cuts and then adhered them together using liquid glue. I then added some distress oxides to the top and completed sections of the wreath with Blue Aventurine Embossing Powder (Pastel Gemstones Trio). I heat set and set it aside. I wanted to add a bit more texture to my butterfly and wreath. I used some medical gauze and inked it up with Lindy’s Gang Sprays. I applied layers of color and once I was happy allowed it to dry. I chose 2 sentiments from a Tim Holtz set and stamped them on the same gelli print background. I heat embossed sections of the sentiment using WOW Embossing in Metallic Rich Gold Powder. To complete my tag I adhered each element using liquid glue and foam adhesive!
