Tuesday with Tara {take 88}

Happy Tuesday!

Today I’ve got a tag to share with you- hope it adds some happy to your day!  Links to products I used are at the bottom of this post 🙂

I wiped some white gesso on the tag as a base, stamped the cone flower in black archival ink and colored it with Distress Crayons and a water brush.  I added some washi tape and texture paste over that, adding some scratchy details with texture brushes.  The blossoms were stenciled with a combination of two fabulous Distress Ink colors (the same colors were used to dye my crinkle ribbon!).

I stenciled these moths/bees with texture paste then inked over them with Vintage Photo Distress Ink once they were dry.

Here’s a look at the tag without the ribbon topper:

Supplies used:

• Distress Crayons Watercolor kit– includes crayon set 2, pretty stamps & more!
• Daily Buzz stencil
• Distress Ink in Abandoned Coral, Carved Pumpkin & Vintage Photo
• Mini blending tool & foam
• Texture Paste or Modeling Paste (both are great, I use whichever is handy!)
• Finnabair Texture brushes
• White Gesso
• Palette knife (or an old credit card or hotel room key!)

Inky hugs,

Tara
