{Mixed Media Tutorial} Life Is Good Mixed Media Tag by Asmah


Hello creative souls! I'm here to show you how I made this tag with combination of just whatever I can grab in my stash. You can too! Take a peek at my blog for up close pictures of this creation.


Let me now take you to my tutorial.

I used acid free white drawing card stock to cut into the pretty slim body shape tag using Luggage Tags Nesting Dies.


I used black gel pen to create a background of pattern by doodling through Layered Petals stencil and color it up with aqua brush. This is the same technique I used in my previous tutorial





Once completed, I sealed the surface with clear sealer so the black ink and water stay permanent.


The sealer is quick dry allowing me to proceed with coloring process. I used DecoArt colors to brighten the tag up with soft pastel look.



Next, I distress the edge with distress ink. I can't do without distressing because I always feel it makes my project quite complete. What about you?


I decided to highlight the center part with plain white paint using my finger tip because that will be my focal point for embellishment and sentiment.


For the butterfly, I used Flutter Zen 1 Layering Dies cut over a piece of sandpaper. Life Is Good Phrase Die was used over a piece of black felt using Sizzix Big Shot. 


Reason I used sandpaper is the texture is original of course and I leave my sandy butterfly as is without extra decoration leaving it natural. I find both sandpaper and felt so awesomely perfect for cutting into shapes using CUTplorations metal dies.


Here is the finished tag once again.
