Topic: Multi-Technique
Yep, back with another in the 12 tags series. In this case I actually made a single piece and then cut it in two to make separate cards.
Here are the tags that Tim combined this month:
And here is the project he created with that combination:
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 top of the finished piece that I used for the first card:
Tomorrow, I'll show the bottom half - also made into a card.
