Topic: Multi-Technique
Round 2 of the May 12 Tags of 2016 is up today. As a reminder, here are the tags Tim Holtzgot his techniques from:
And here is the tag he challenged us with using those techniques:
I didn't use all of the techniques Tim did as my stamps really didn't lend themselves to florals. But these are the steps I used on my project
- Select multiple stamps to use
- Apply tissue tape to selected areas where featured stamps will be used
- Stamp featured stamps over tissue tape using Archival black ink (I used fish)
- Stamp other images to cardstock as background (I used coral and seaweed)
- Use a palette knife to apply clear texture paste through a stencil in selected areas (I used medium dots)
- Let dry completely
- Colorize surface wiith Distress stains (go lightly)
- Mist with water to blend
- Dry completely
- Blend on Distress inks to highlight
- Buff to remove excess ink from tissue tape and stenciled areas
- Mask off tissue tape areas
- Spritz with gold metallic paint
- Trim to card size
- Border with black cardstock
- Mount on colored base card
Here is the bottom half of the finished piece that I used for the second card:
Now that I'm caught up with these challenges, we won't see another '12 Tags' project until June.
