The tags above are the result of a challenge announced during the month of January 2008 by our group leader Cindy Powell. Group site is at http://tiny.cc/group Each step was fun and educational. Especially viewing the big variety our group created in each step.
Brief directions below:
1) You need 12 med.- lg. shipping tags
2) stain tags with coffee/tea (let me tell you I could make a list a mile long of some of the wild and crazy ingredients we all used to stain our tags, its kind of a wild and crazy group that way, fun and talented! Ok, where was I?)
3) divide your 12 tags in sets of three = 4 sets .
3a) add watercolor to set 1.
3b) use acrylic washes on set 2 .
3c) marble with shaving cream, messy fun to set 3.
3d) dye inks on set 4.
3e) drybrush with gesso all 12 tags.
4) embellish (all, some, mix) by embossing, pockets, stamping, collage, tape transfers and more.
5) Bind with rings, ribbons and fibers, grommets, you choose.
I have 9 tags to go. I should have some more finished tags soon. Thanks for stopping by, love to hear from you. LinLin
