12 Tags of 2015 - September
Topic: Multi-Technique
It's time again for an art pieceinspired by Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2015. We're up to September now:

Here are the steps I used to create this
- on non-stick craft sheet scribble metallic mixatives from the alcohol ink line
- shake and scribble several colors of alcohol ink directly over mixative
- shake blending solution over top
- swipe glossy cardstock through inks
- set aside to dry
- on heavy cardstock use foam tool and distress inks to blend color to complement alcohol inked piece.
- mist with water and dry with heat tool
- trim alcohol piece to desired size
- select stamps for feature
- ink with Archivel black ink and stamp on alcohol piece. dry with heat tool
- place stencil over top
- use plastic card to squeege clear mmatte medium through the stencil
- carefully remove stencil (wash it immediately)
- allow piece to dry naturally
- stamp the same stamps on heavy vellum using Archival black ink
- heat dry and cut out
- shape if desired
- over dried matte medium very lightly sponge with Archival black ink to show the texture
- use sponge to ink edges of piece with Archival black ink
- use sponge to also ink edges of the heavy cardstock piece with Archival black ink
- tear a piece of black cardstock the same width as alcohol piece
- pierce four corners
- cut label shape from metallic cardstock and add metallic text sticker
- string thin wire through ends of label
- place metallic brads into pierced holds
- wind wire ends around brads
- assemble piece: alcohol piece to heavy cardstock piece, black strip to bottom, stamped vellum over stamped alcohol piece
- spritz surface of piece with spritzer and Distress marker in black

Yes, I made another display piece instead of a tag like Tim does.
