Brief tutorial
  1. I took blank stamp and spread texture paste through stencil to build a background
  2. Once it dries completely I colored the tag using shimmer sprays “Dancing peacock”, “Sweet Sunshine”, I tilted the tag bit so that both the color flow into each other and blend nicely.
  3. I distress the edges of tag using dark green stamp pad and added black colored coconut fiber.
  4. Stamped the image from Stamp set “Beautiful” and colored it using diluted acrylic paints with water
  5. Glue down stamped image onto the fiber that pasted earlier and also added handmade flowers forming a composition, and Taaaa-Daaaaaaa, we finish this super simple tag

••• Mixed Media Tags for Valentine's Day •••

Hello my Arty and crafty friends,

This Archana here, today I come up with super simple yet beautiful mixed media tags using amazing stamp set called “Everything magical ” from Craftyscrappers. So lets jump into the step by step process.. This is what we are going to create today.....


Step 1 :

I took two white cardstock tags 6 inches x 3 inches and using Craftyscrappers Damask stencil & texture paste created texture on both the tags.. This way i make background on both the tags.

Step 2 :

Colored 1st tag using juicy watermelon and lushy orchid and 2nd tag using sweet sunshine and lushy orchid, while color is wet tilt both the tag little bit to run the color from texture I created earlier

Step 3 :

Moving to 1st stamp, Stamped the image and sentiments from Craftyscrappers Everything magical stamp set and colored them

Step 4:


I took 2 smaller tags around 2.5 inches x 1 inch and place them randomly; I also took corrugated cardboard to adhere behind stamped image, you can clearly see this step in the finished tag

Step  5:

After fuzzy cutting the image I adhere image on corrugated cardboard using double sided foam tape, and place different size n color paper flowers.

Step 6:

Once everything dries completely, used black watercolor to gave depth & after placing the sentiment I added maroon micro beads around the flower and distress the edges of tag using black ink pad… here we finished our first tag

Step 7

For 2nd tag I used image from the Everything magical and sentiment from Adventure Awaits stamp set

Step 8

Took gears and colored them using turquoise blue acrylic paint and after it dries highlight them using Craftyscrappers chalk paint “Zesty lilac”. Place them randomly to form a composition leaving one side of tag empty for corrugated cardboard

Step 9

I colored the stamped image and distress the edges of corrugated cardboard. Place stamped image on corrugated cardboard using double side foam tape. Added sentiment and silver micro beads in empty spaces, I also distress the edges of tag little bit using black watercolor and this is how I finish 2nd tag as well

Here are some more pictures of this tags :
