Creative Expressions - 'Scent' sational Shabby Chic Tag

Hi all, it's time to show my creation for the Creative Expressions Blog and this month we are playing with some of Sue Wilson's new Single Stamps for Creative Expressions and they are lush. As always I shall highlight in my step by step the products from Creative Expressions, pop on over there to see who is your local supplier, they also have tutorials and lists of new releases :-)

The main image perfume bottle is by Sue Wilson Crystal Cut and

the sentiment is from Sue Wilson Murano Glass.

And now for step by step ...........

To start with I took a Ranger Tag, tissue paper, Archival Inkpad Jet Black,

Ranger Studio Multi Medium and stamps Creative Expressions Textures and

Alpha Writing.

I stamped on the tissue using no block, and the Archival inkpad, it

is easier to get random stamping while curving the stamp in your palm.

You must heat set the stamping so it will be permanent.

Next paint on multi medium on the tag, add the tissue making

sure it scrunched in areas.

Next paint over the top of tissue and leave to dry.  When dry cut

around the tag to remove excess tissue.

With Eco Green Craft Paint White brayer over the top of the tag,

don't cover everything, you want a really thin layer so you can still see text

in some areas.

Next take Eco Green Craft Paint Rose and repeat the last step

with the brayer.  Add less paint as the white.

While that dries, take a Creative Expressions Ribbon Rose in white,

add Cosmic Shimmer White PVA glue and then sprinkle Cosmic Shimmer Glitter

Jewels Iced Snow, then leave to dry.

Next repeat the brayer technique as earlier using only white

and add less again, so this means you will still see some text and some of

the pink in areas.  I also painted a Creative Expressions Decorative Metal Corner

with the white, I gave it 3 coats to completely cover it.

To add interest use Cosmic Shimmer Watercolours Red Blaze and drip

in area and then move the tag around so it drips in random places.

Next using Cosmic Shimmer Drawing Ink Cherry Glow tap

the brush over the tag to make small splashes. This all helps

to add texture and depth to the tag.

Do the same on the flower.  I didn't use the pins in the end :-)

Using the script from Creative Expressions Texture Stamp Set,

stamp in areas with Archival Inkpad Rose Madder.

I wanted a pink wax but I didn't have any.  Using Creative Expressions

Metallic Gilding Wax in Pearl moon and Deep red, scrape some on 

a non stick mat, and then add a droplet of Creative Expressions Solvent Blending

Solution, keep mixing to make a nice pink colour.

It turned into a really nice vintage rose pink :-)

After highlighting the tag edges with the pink wax, stick to a page

from the Creative Expressions Teresa Collins Patterned Paper Pad

and cut around leaving a border, then sew around the edges and 

add wax to the outside edges.

I used some pink seam binding and sewn it to some lace, I also

added the pink wax to the flower and corner.

I then added the ribbon and the flower to the tag, that way I wouldn't loose them lol.

Next I stamped the image from Sue Wilson Crystal Cut Single Stamp with

Archival jet black onto book paper and then painted it with Cosmic Shimmer

Watercolours Red Blaze and Lava Red.  I then sewn around the edges and

ripped the image out, I added the pink wax and then used the Archival Rose

Madder Inkpad to edge again over the wax.

I didn't have any of the Creative Expressions Adhesive Swirl Gems so

I used the Creative Expressions small Pearl Gems to mimic the 

swirls coming from the image.

I liked how the Rose Madder inkpad gave a darker edge with the image

so I went over the pearls, the edge of the corner and the top of the flower with

the inkpad.

Next I used the Glitter Jewels randomly over the tag, just adding dots of glue as

I didn't want many.

Next I took the sentiment from the Sue Wilson Murano Glass Single stamp,

I actually decided to cut the words out as I tend to use sentiment stamps

that way, but they come together attached so no worries lol.  I stamped

the words on the Teresa Collins paper that was left over with Archival black,

then edged with the wax and then the pink inkpad.

Wow hope you managed to get this far lol.  Hope you enjoyed the tutorial, any questions just let me know and I will try and answer them.
Happy Crafting :-)
