••• Mixed Media Floral tags •••

Hello and welcome everyone, This is Archana here,
I have created these tags few days back, These tags are super simple and easy to make, So let’s get started,

Step by step tutorial:

I took two blank cardboard tags and spread texture paste on one tag using designer stencil and for another one I have decided to use craftyscrappers layered stencil “Layered Buddha”.
Once the texture paste dries completely, I took corrugated cardboard piece and glued it on to the tag.
I also wrapped thick thread around the tag, and covered entire tag using white gesso.
Next I stamped image from Craftyscrappers stamp set called “Thanks-Sketchy” and colored it using diluted acrylic paints.
To color the tag i have used craftyscrappers shimmer sprays called “Sour eggplant” and “Tickled cheeks”, and I also added clear glitter on the stamped flowers only.
Placed fussy cut floral image on tag and highlight the dimensional parts of tag using white gesso.
To finish the tag I have used sentiment from the same stamp set and our first tag is ready....
For second tag, I used layered stencil of Buddha, and I want it in dimensional look so I covered each layer using texture paste.
To color the tag I used shimmer sprays from craftyscrappers and the shade names are "Rusty Denim" and "Ocean Waves".
Next I again took same stamped floral image and colored it diluted acrylics.
To pop out the Buddha little bit I have done some highlighting using white gesso and next placed the fussy cut floral image on to the tag.
For more detailing I glued some micro beads.. and also added white color splatters to finish the tag.

Here are some more pictures of this tags :

••• Mixed media wall hanging •••

Hello all!! Welcome everyone, this is Archana here, today I have come up with super simple home décor project using Craftyscrappers products, before starting lets have a quick look on supplies I used to make this project.

List of supplies:

Rectangle wooden plank / Cardboard / MDF board

Craftyscrappers chalk paint “Icy Marine”

Craftyscrappers shimmer spray (Rusty Denim)

Shimmer paint (Bronze metallic luster)

Embellishments: Flat back stones, Star shaped cutout, Micro beads,

Ballet dancing girl as a focal point

Step by step Tutorial:

1. First of all prime the surface and for that I have used Chalk paint to do so, I have used Icy marine shade.

2. Once paint dries completely, I started building composition, I glued down Star shaped cutout and around that I have glued flat back stones, to fill the empty space and make composition more interesting I have pasted micro beads.

3. For the focal point I choose to add Ballet dancing girl, and covered entire project using Chalk paint ( Icy Marine ) again. This will prime the project and also add chalky matt finish.

4. To give depth I sprayed Craftyscrappers Shimmer spray (Rusty Denim)

5. Next I have highlighted the project using Shimmer paint (Bronze metallic luster)
