Tutorial - Mixed Media Tag

We going to show you how to create Mixed Media Tag, using stamps , along with pattern paper from My Minds Eye and Stencils.
Start out with a Tag cut from using the Silhouette - any tag can be used - cut your own

To cover the tag, tear and sponge pieces of My Minds Eye Pattern Paper adhering it to the tag with Gel Medium

The Doll stamp from Prima is stamped on the same My Minds Eye Pattern Paper, and paper pieced - all edges are sponged with Ranger Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, color was added with STAEDTLER Ergo Soft Watercolor Pencils

Add additional stamping to the tag using the Border stamps from Prima and a sentiment from Verses, then add pops of color to the tag by dabbing Teal/White Acrylic Paint through the Just a Trace Tiny Dangle Stencil.

Place the Doll image onto the tag for placement, then sponged Gathered Twigs Distress Ink through the Just a Trace Tiny Ornament Stencil for added interest.

To finish the tag, adhere the Doll image with Gel Medium, then distressed the edges and sponge on Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, and swipe some Gesso over the tag to tone it down a bit. To embellish add some Vintage Seam Binding, button and a charm.
