{Mixed Media Tutorial} Sing Mixed Media Tag by Sanna



Hello everyone, it's Sanna here again with another mixed media project share and tutorial. For today's post, I wanted to create a colorful mixed media tag.

Here is what I created:



And here is how I went upon creating this tag:

I have a book of cheap watercolor papers that have a coloring image on them. I went and die-cut one of the Stitched Tags with my die cutting machine from that paper pad. The image just adds to the layers of my tag, I don't mind it being there at all.



Next I took the Heartfelt Hibiscus stamp and using an embossing ink pad, stamped the image onto the background quite randomly. I only left some space at the very top for the Trendy Birds 2 stamps. Those are also embossed with white embossing ink, like the flower images. I heat set the embossing powder with my heat tool.



After that I took a set of spray inks and applied them onto the background. In between colours I used my heat tool to dry the particular spray ink layer a bit before adding the next one. I love the gorgeous shine the spray inks add to the background. Now you can also see the random flower pattern and the birds thru the misting.



I repeated the same steps like above on the single bird image, this time using black spray ink. After the spray ink was dry, I fussy cut the image.



Then I took a residue piece of white cardstock (I always save small pieces of paper for purposes like this) and stamped words from the Trendy Birds 2 set onto the paper. I also applied a rub-on onto the paper and then inked the background green with spray ink. Next I fussy cut every piece.



I then adhered all the fussy cut pieces on place and decorated the background with Nuvo Confetti (this adds an additional sparkle).



For additonal detail I added some Nuvo Mousse thru the RagRug stencil with a palette knife here and there on the tag background. This adds an additional layer of texture and interest.



For finishing touches I added some Nuvo Drops here and there and some ribbons.



Here are some detail photos of the tag.
