Hello my crafty friends, my design team post for Crafty Catz Challenge Blog this week is a beautiful super sized tag. The theme is “Something with Wings” so I chose a butterfly. I love butterflies. There are so graceful and bring a sense of serenity when you watch them flutter by. I painted the butterfly with vibrant, metallic spray inks from Lindy’s Stamp Gang in order to capture it’s beauty.
I have a simple tutorial below showing how I made this tag. The supplies I used are:
- jumbo manila tag
- texture paste
- stencil
- spray inks. I used Lindy’s Stamp Gang
- gesso
- black ink stamp pad
- rubber stamp
- makeup sponge
- glue
- charcoal pencil
- paintbrushes
- water
- scissors
Instructions
Step 1: Place the stencil over your tag and apply the texture paste with a palette knife.
Step 2: Remove the stencil carefully and allow to dry.
Step 3: Paint with gesso and allow to dry thoroughly.
Step 4: Stamp you image and color. I painted with the spray ink.
Step 5: When your tag is dry, spray with inks. You can spray with water also to help inks move around.
Step 6: Gently dab to remove excess paint and allow to dry. When dry, stamp your image. It doesn’t have to be perfect as you will be gluing a the image you already colored on top. What you really want is the antennas.
Step 7: Splatter some ink on your tag.
Step 8: Using your ink applicator or make up sponge, apply a shadow off dark ink around the edges of the tag, quote and butterfly.
Step 9: Glue everything in place and you are done.
