Mixability Challenge @ Splitcoaststampers

Hi! I wanted to share my tag that i just created for the current 

Mixability Challenge #23 at Splitcoaststampers.

This week the challenge is to create a project (card, layout, altered item, etc.) using 3 or more surfaces! I decided to use a tag.

My first surface: The Tag

I inked my work pad with the Distress Inks-Dusty Concord, Peacock Feathers and Picked Raspberry. Misted them and drew my tag thru the colors. Next, I painted with a Gesso wash to tone down the colors.  It was too pale! So then I used my Distress Paint dabbers and added back color!

I took some Gelato markers and colored around the edges of the tag. 

The stamping on the tag is a variety of different stamps.

My second surface: Stenciled Fiber Paste

Using the MFT Blooming Rose stencil with Fiber Paste! I dried it with the heat gun.

Next I painted the rose and leaves with Gelatos and water. And shaded with a water brush and Ranger Tea Dye Distress Ink. 

And my third surface: Ribbon!!!

(Pardon my messy work surface!!!)

I took white seam binding and stamped it with a  Tim Holtz ticket stamp and black Archival Ink.

Next I sponged with Tea Dye Distress Ink.

After drying with my heat gun, I painted the seam binding with a pink Gelato and water.

I colored some more white seam binding with Fresh Lime Dylusions spray mist.

I you look real close, you can see where I strung some metal honey bees and crystals on some twine to give the tag a little more sparkle!

Hopefully this hasn't been too long winded!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
