Hello, Jingle here today and I am so excited because today I get to share something that is very much outside of my usual comfort zone. If you have seen my posts, you may know that I love a good clean, simple design and don’t get messy very often. Well, for my project today, I DID get messy! I used some of my favorite adhesives to create a Fangtastic Mixed Media Tag!
Design Idea for Fangtastic Mixed Media Tag
To create this fun design, I began with a simple tag. Would you believe that it is actually pink?! Yup. It is! But I ended up covering all of that up with textured goodness! You may recognize that bat! I used the same one for a fun shaker card I posted earlier this month, the Batty Halloween Shaker Card! I love getting the most from my supplies.
Mixing It Up with the Tag
The bat was stamped and embossed and then set him aside until the very end. For the tag background, I used some really cool stuff. Start with painting three different shades of blue watercolor gouache. Next, add some E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser and cover with blue foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors toward the top section of the tag. Remember to face the color side towards you before rubbing the foil into the stars. Then layer on some silver paste to add luster and shine. Once dried, use black ink over it. Paint for additional color and texture, lending to the spooky feel.
Adding More Mixed Media Layers
To provide a bit more dimension and shine, add 3D Foam Stars and cover with silver foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. Stamp the sentiment on a strip of white cardstock and adhere it to the tag with E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispense. The Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack provided a perfect silver photo corner for the bottom of the tag and secured it with my E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.
I added the bat with two layers to really make him pop off the tag, a combination of Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix and 3D Foam Squares Black Regular was used. Complete the tag with a couple of strips of metallic tape on the opposite edges. Lastly, tulle material was threaded through the hole at the top!
I hope you are inspired to do something out of your comfort zone in your crafty space today! Get messy and have a Fangtastic Day!
