One Little Tag Craft Challenge #124

Using Kool Aid Drink mix in cherry, sprinkle dry drink mix on a manila tag and then spray with clean water to activate.  Let dry.  Using a palette knife spread the molding paste through the stencil (Momenta).  Let dry.  Using Archival Ink Jet Black stamp the sentiment (Invoke Stamps).

The Kool Aid is used like one would use watercolor powders like color burst or brushos.  I am always searching for alternative art supplies since they are usually more affordable.  I saw this technique from Craft Test Dummies.
