SimonSaysStamps Monday challenge:Lucky + step-by-step

hi everyone,

Just dropping in quickly to share a tag I made for SimonSaysStamps Monday challenge:Lucky..

I made a simple tag with lots of stamping...just made sure it has green over it for st. patrick's day theme...

Materials: a tag, prima stamps, doodlebug designs alphas, Faber-castell gelatos, gesso/whilte acrylic paint

Step-by-step 

1. I started with a plain tag and covered it with old book page(a dictionary page also works). That gives you a nice printed background.

2. Adhere the book page completely over the tag and stick it with glue or whatever suits your need.

3. Brush gesso or white acrylic pain all over the tag and just slightly rub it with baby wipes.

4. Then take faber-castell gelatos(color of your choice) and just rub it over the places you want on your  tag.

5. Spritz some water or you can just rub it with your finger all over.

6. Now comes my favorite part i.e. stamping...take the stamp of your choice and stamp on the tag.  I took the prima stamp for flowers and the bo-bunny for hexagons(barely visible). 

7. To end it just stamp the borders of the tag with archival ink and put alphas and then you can add a few black dots with any black ink or you can put some crystal dots or enamel dots on your tag.

Just hop over to the BLOG for more fabulous inspiration from the talented DT members....thanks for stopping by!!....
