Tag #21

 On a tag made from watercolor paper,  scrape three colors of acrylic paint in a circle.  Let dry.  Stamp the images with Archival Ink Jet Black.  The quote and the group of women stamps are from Viva Las Vegas Stamps. The circle is from Invoke Arts Stamps.

Tag #16 and Tissue Paper Resist Technique

Using tissue paper resist technique from below, create a colorful background.  Once it is dry, apply it to a chipboard tag using two-sided tape.  I did this since the watercolor paper I used was very flexible. Stamp the sun (Viva Las Vegas Stamps) and the figure (Dina Wakley) using Archival Ink Jet Black.  Adhere washi tape on the bottom.   

I learned this technique from Tigard Public Library and they provided the basic kit for this technique.  

Ingredients for this technique

watercolor paper

tissue paper (I am not sure if all tissue paper will work.  I heard that art tissue paper will work best)

water

tweezers

white crayon

First, draw a design on watercolor paper with a white crayon.   I drew flowers.  Spray the watercolor paper with water.  Then place pieces of tissue paper on watercolor paper using tweezers. Using tweezers makes the paper easier to place and keeps your fingers clean.    Tap down where necessary.  Spray again with water.  Let the color move on its own.  Let dry.  I let it dry overnight.  Then remove the tissue paper and discard them.  

Here is the watercolor paper after I removed the tissue paper.  

 

Tag #13 and a Card

Stamp the images of the sheep, text, and x's (Viva Las Vegas Stamps) in Archival Ink Jet Black onto a tag of watercolor paper. Using a pencil with an eraser and acrylic paint in three colors of neon stamp the circles randomly.  Let dry.  Using Golden High Flow Acrylic in Fluorescent Pink create drips from the top of the tag.  Tapping the tag on the desk will help the drips flow. Let dry. 

This tag inspired me to create greeting cards from it.  

 On a watercolor panel, stamp the sheep and text using Archival Ink Jet Black. Using the pencil eraser, stamp the circles in neon acrylic paint.  Let dry.  Edge the panel with Golden High Flow Acrylic in Fluorescent Pink. Let dry.  On a kraft card, adhere vintage dictionary page and then adhere the sheep panel on to the card.
