Hello Unity Friends! I am excited to be back today to share a fall inspired tag using the beautiful Love Never Leaves stamp set as my focal images for this week’s project! I shared a handmade tag last week using these beautiful leaves and I wanted to create another project with them! So let’s get started!
I started by stamping the leaves onto Hot Press Watercolor paper. I added the leaves to my stamping platform and colored the leaves using Distress watercolor pencils. I dipped the pencils into water, then added the color directly to the stamp. I then spritzed the stamp with my water bottle and stamped the images. I continued to repeat this process using a variety of colors. Once the leaves were complete, I allowed them to dry completely, then fussy cut the leaves. I then added distress ink to the edges and set them aside.
Next I started to work on my tag background. I started by stamping along the tag using the Reversed Punchinella and the Let it Go and Focus stamp set. Next I inked the background using a combination of Distress Oxide Inks, Distress Inks, as well as sprays. I continued to build color and texture using a variety of inks. Once the background was complete, I added additional texture using a stencil and paste. I allowed everything to completely dry.
Next I started to to adhere both the ephemera and leaves onto the card front. I used a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. I then added additional splatters using white acrylic paint. I completed the tag using a sentiment from the Autumn Dictionary Words.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great week!
