Etcetera Tag with Tissue
I was inspired by the Facebook Live with Tim Holtz on 30 May 2020, discussing Distress Paints. I hope you enjoy this brief tutorial.
First I painted the tag with Distress Speckled Egg Paint and allowed it to dry. Then I applied Collage Medium and put the tissue paper from Idea ology (this print is called Botanical) on top. Once the medium was dry I colored the flowers using Distress Crayons in Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Shabby Shutters. Then I stamped the insect from Stampers Anonymous Stamp Set CMS 328-Entemology. I cut the insect out using Sizzix 663068. I colored the wings of the insect using the watercolor technique with Distress Markers in Wild Honey and the body in Black Soot. I dried it with my heat tool and then I added some collage medium and distress glitter in rock candy. I didn't use enough glitter--It's very hard to see! Next, I used went to the Field Notes Snippets and selected a small Field Label. I inked it with Distress ink in Frayed Burlap and Speckled Egg. I placed that down. I punched some small leaves from the Kraft Stock and some dictionary pages. I inked the dictionary pages with Vintage photo. I put the label down and glued in the leaves. I used a foam dot to raise my insect up for dimension. I inked the edges of the tag with Vintage photo. There was a small space at the top where the collage paper didn't cover; so I used Sizzix Die 664178 and cut one from the Kraft stock. The other piece I inked some mixed media paper with Speckled Egg Oxide Ink and Frayed Burlap Oxide Ink. I lightly misted the paper to get some oxidation. Then I cut the smaller lace out and positioned it over the other one. I added one of the Idea ology Antiqued Gems to the leaves just to give it a little sparkle. I really like the effect of the paint showing through the tissue paper and the coloring of the flowers using the Distress Crayons.
