••• Mixed Media Tag for Absolutely Beginners •••

Hello, and welcome back,

Hope you guys are doing great, today i come up with mixed media tag for absolutely beginners...
Okay so lets get started,

I took Packaging cardboard and made cut-out of tag of 5 inches by 3 inches and glue down broken brush head on it.



Then I paste metal butterfly just to hide broken part of brush and also added sea-shells, art stones and micro beads.  (Seed beads, micro beads, art stone works as a filler)

  


In this step I covered entire tag with gesso and after gesso dries completely I colored the tag using "Tasty Tortilla" and "Muddy Pool” shimmer sprays.


 


I used gesso again just to add highlight little bit, in this step I took very little amount of gesso on dry brush and apply so that dimensional elements get highlighted.


Distress the edges and then added Shimmer paste using pallet knife. Stamped sayings from “INSPIRE” stamp set and finished this tag.




And Taaaa-Daaaaaaa!!! There you go, we finish this beautiful tag…

Give it a try, and if tried don’t forget to tag me in your projects using #Archusartworld …. Don’t forget to check out making process of this painting from start to finish on my YouTube channel
