Hello and Happy Saturday,
I am back on the blog today with two mixed media Christmas Tags.
I had a lot of fun just getting inky and seeing where it all took me.
I started with Tim Holtz Manila tags, white gesso and the Stampers Anoymous Music and Advert stamps set
I had never used gesso up until recently and wow its a game changer. I inked up the the music stamps with the gesso and pressed it on to the tags, set it aside to dry for a few minutes and went back in and inked with distress oxides.
I used candied apple, barn door and festive berries for the background of one tag, and mowed lawn, pine needles and lucky clover for the second tag. I absolutely love how they turned out.
I went back in with walnut stain and stamped the another background stamp, and then added glitter paste to the tags (Further details on my blog Nancy Grace Creations).
I stamped out the Santa from the Classic Christmas set, on to some Kraft cardstock and cut him out.
I added some detail with my Prisma colour pencils. For the wreath I used the lawn fawn large wreath die, and cut out numerous branches from gold, silver and green cardstock.
You can find the full details on my blog, Nancy Grace Creations with a lot more pictures as well.
Scrap’n Stamp Canada also has 25% off Ranger products, so if you feel inspired by my tags you can stock up on some supplies 🙂
