Here we are to a brand new challange over Simon Says Stamp!

 

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2898″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I cut a tag from a watercolor paper – I used a Sizzix die to do so. I love this Die Cut because it allows me to cut out tags from any kind of paper! I also cut out some Scrolls – I glued the scrolls to the Tag and then I covered it with gesso. I let it try and then I then I started to add color.
I took my time in this process and I really enjoyed doing it so.
I wanted a really grungy background, I wanted a rust feeling (there is not much rust at the end of the project tho, lol!) and I wanted it to be really textured![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2906″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]While the backrgound was drying, I die cut another piece for my tag. An heart from the Heart Primitive dies, another of my favorite dies from Sizzix. I used an old and ugly tissue tape to mask the area I wanted to color with blue, then I did the same with the part I wanted to do red. I let it dry before removing the tape, this helped me getting a clean edge. I added a couple of stamps to add texture and interest, then with the white and black paint I added a bit of color to the edges of the heart.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2904″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I stitched the tag around the sides then I took the white paint and with a sponge I added some more white to the edge of the tag. Then I took the black paint and another sponge and I did the same thing. I stitched again around the tag and I stitched also around the heart. The heart didn’t come out good, I am not really good when I have to do curves, but hey, it does not have to be perfect!

I added a paper doll and a stickers and the tag was done.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”2897,2898,2899,2900,2901,2902,2903,2904,2905,2906″ img_size=”large”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
