One Little Tag Craft Challenge #81

This tag was created using rubber cement as a mask. It requires patience because to work the cement must cure for at least 24 hours. It does create a wonderful grungy piece of work. 

A manilla tag was painted with red and yellow acrylic paint to create and ombré background.  The Sprite(Zettiology) was stamped with Archival Ink Jet Black and then masked with rubber cement. The rubber cement cures for 24 hours then orange acrylic paint. After that layer dries, the clock image from Non Sequitur was stamped repeatedly with Archival Ink Jet Black and masked with rubber cement. Again it was left to cure for 24 hours. The final layer is white acrylic paint over the entire tag. Once paint is dry the rubber cement is rubbed off revealing the images and layers of paint. 

One Little Tag Craft Challenge #30

As part of the Tag Craft Challenge, there are weekly prompts.  They do not have to be used but are great suggestions and I use them a challenge to learn new techniques or use neglected supplies I have in the craft hoard. This three piece stencil from Plaid was one such neglected supply.  

Using an ink blender tool, Distress ink was applied to a manila tag through a three piece stencil.  Different parts of the stencil were used to get the different color effects.  Colors of distress ink used were Shaded Lilac and Weathered Wood.  Images were stamped directly onto the tag using Archival Ink Jet Black. Images are from Non Sequitur Stamps and Lost Coast Designs.  Washi tape and Tim Holtz Tissue Tape were adhered to the top of the tag.
