Jumbo Tag

Tutorial

Step 1:

Measure a piece of chipboard to 8x4.

Cut out the tag.

Step 2:

Cover the chipboard tag with Nirvana papers...

I used 3-n-1 Beacon Glue

placed down the paper and cut around the chipboard tag.

Step 3:

Laying down a layer of gel-medium...

Lay down tissue paper (wrinkle first).

smooth out the tissue paper over the tag

make sure you seal the edges well.

Use a heat tool to dry tissue paper layer.

Step 4:

sand the edges of tag

Step 5:

do a light white wash over the tag with gesso

Step 6:

Grab stucco/gesso mixture

and a mask...stencil some texture over the tag.

dry with heat tool...

Step 7:

Whooo a fun technique-spraying yummie color!

Grab your favorite mist!

I used Glimmer Mist and handmade mist...

I used Tattered Angels glimmer mist in

Tattered Leather, Raven, Graphite, Riptide

and Plain Jane-Baseboard in Blue Bird.

Handmade vintage photo spray...

this is a really fun step-spray here and there

adding many yummie colors...dry in between colors.

Spray again...until you love it!!

Step 8:

Splatting mist upon the tag...super fun!!!

Step 9:

Taking gesso lightly brush over the crackle mask areas

to help highlight them...

Step 10:

Ripping a piece of cardboard from a old box

paint it with gesso

(this will be the photo mat)

Step 11:

Preparing the paper embellishments for the tag.

I like to glue paper embellishments down to a piece

of chipboard...cut out and distress edges.

Distress edges of all paper embellishments and photo.

Step 12:

After the tag has fully dried from misting...

grab your favorite script stamp..

stamp over your tag-adds texture...

Step 13:

Building your tag...

Glue do cheeseclothe down and the cardboard riped piece

using hot glue.

Arrange your photo and paper embellishments

where you like the placement...

when happy...start glueing down I use

a mixture of hot glue and 3-n-1

Reached into my stash to use up some odds and ends..

Petaloo flower

Prima leaves

Distress Stain to tone down the leaves...

fuzzy cut out more little

embellishments from the paper line.

Finishing touches:

Cover your photo-add some more misting

oh and the splatting!

highlight with gesso once more...
