One Little Tag Craft Challenge #76

This tag uses stencils and acrylic paint in a different way.  When every I paint with acrylic paint I like to have a layer of gesso to prime the base (in this case a manila tag) so that less acrylic paint is needed and the paint is more predictable. 

A manila tag was covered with Gesso.   Two colors of Claudine Hellmuth Studio Acrylics were applied to gessoed tag with a scrap of cardboard to give it texture.  Colors are Pastel Yellow and Purple Palette.  Claudine Hellmuth Studio Acrylics Smidge of Blue was applied over a mask from the Dylusions  the Suits stencil.  Images from Sideshow Stamps were stamped inside the hearts with Archival Ink Jet Black.  The stencil part was used as a way to mask off the image.  Pieces of decorative tape were applied to tag.

This week's challenge from Craft Test Dummies is to use acrylic paint.  The background of this tag was completed the week before when the challenge was using stencils.  So bang, two challenges one tag. 

Gesso was applied to a manila tag.  Once dry, acrylic paint (Claudine Helmuth Studio Paints Smidge of Blue) was applied through a Tim Holtz stencil with a baby wipe.  Then image (Oxford Impressions) was stamped on tissue paper with Archival Ink Jet Black and applied to the tag.  Sentiment was stamped on notebook paper with Archival Ink Jet Black.

I often use ordinary graph paper to stamp images on and then cut out. The lines of the graph give an interesting aspect to the image without overbearing it. 

Acrylic Paint was applied to a manila tag with a credit card. Claudine Hellmuth Studio paints were used.  Decorative packing tape was applied on tag once paint was dried.  Images were stamped on graph paper with Archival Ink Jet Black and adhered to the tag.  All images are from Tokyo Mars/Adorned Surfaces.
