{Mixed Media Tutorial} You are a Work of Art by Tanja

Hi there, it's Tanja here and I would like to show you how to create this Mixed Media Tag step by step:

• use a left over CUTplorations Manila tag with sepia splatters on it and cover it with two strips of tissue paper

• apply Distress Oxide Ink Walnut Stain through the ARTplorations Two Feathers stencil and heat-emboss random spots with WOW! Metallic Gold Rich embossing powder

• prepare a strip of corrugated cardboard, beige sari silk ribbon and a die-cut flower from the CUTplorations Trendy Spring Blooms die set covered with turquoise embossing powder

• sew the sari silk ribbon onto the corrugated board using natural twine and use hot glue to adhere the elements to the tag

• thread a piece of torn sari silk ribbon through the hole of the tag and darken up the edges of the tag with a brown Stabilo All pencil activated with a wet watercolor brush

• cut out the CUTplorations you & me twice from black cardstock and only use the "you" for the first part of the sentiment
• add the second part of the sentiment using a sticker from the Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker set
• use IZink Topaz to add some turquoise splatters as a finishing touch

I hope you got inspired and don't forget to join us for our Mixed Media Challenge over at the STAMPlorations Blog. The theme is always anything mixed media except a card. You must use at least one stencil (any brand) in your project. The Linky closes at the end of the month.

Yours,
