All About Love
Over at the Funkie Junkie Inspiration Ave blog this week our theme is all about love. This week I was inspired to make a dark and mysterious Valentine’s Day tag featuring the new Distress color Lost Shadow. For video tutorial click here.
This week I am used: Sizzix dies gentlemen, alphanumeric bulletin, collage medium, prima Finnibair gilding flakes, gilding paste, distress sprays lost shadow oxide, black soot spray stain, and tart cranberry mica spray stain, walnut stain crayon, collage paint brush, stencil THS032, Idea-ology crinkle ribbon, mixed media tag, lucky in love impresslit, black heavy stock, and metallic kraft stock.
To start this project I am beginning with a Ranger TH mixed media tag for the foundation.
To add color to the background I will be using distress sprays lost shadow oxide, black soot spray stain, and tart cranberry mica spray stain. Lost shadow is an absolutely amazing color and will help give a dramatic flair to our background.
Before adding the spray stain I placed the tag in the solar box and misted the tag with water from the distress sprayer. Below is the outcome from mixing black soot and lost shadow together to create a moody background.
Next I added a splash of color with some tart cranberry. Before spritzing the color I added some water to help the color flow along a set path.
To apply the glue, I am using a small sponge. For the background, I am using the stencil flourishes THS032 off to the side. I have placed some of the glue, and I’m using the sponge to dab into the glue, and then onto the stencil.
Next, I am going to quickly lift up the stencil, and immediately wash it, so the glue will not stick to it. Then I will let the tag dry until the glue has turned transparent and feels tacky to the touch.
With the tag dry, I will now add the gilding flakes to the sticky part of the tag. The large flakes I place down by hand, trying to get a varied variety of colors.
As the main focal point, I added a die, cut from the Sizzix set gentleman.
The final finishing touches included the altered crinkle ribbon and the metallic 3-D heart. I also added a secondary sentiment from the Tim Holtz Idea-Ology label sticker set.Thank you so much for joining me here today for TFJB Inspiration Ave challenge. Until next time, happy crafting!
