Peace and Joy

 

Hi all, Monique here to show  you how to make this tag.

I originally thought this was going to be quick and easy but it turned out to be a lot more work than I thought. Worth it though,  so enjoy!

Supplies

Sin City stamps: Cherub border background and Vintage wavy banner

Liquid masking fluid
watercolor paint
pencils
stencil
Wire
Cardstock
dies
modelng paste
3 d foam
waterproof stamp ink in black

 1) Stamp the images using waterproof black ink on a tag

 2) Cover the stamps with liquid masking fluid using an old paint brush (the masking liquid dries into a rubber like mask that will resist water color paint)

 3)Mix water and blue and green water color paint on a piece of plastic or acrylic stamping block and press it onto the tag to create the background.

 4) Repeat till you like the result and let dry.

 5) Scrape modeling paste through a stencil and let dry.

 6) Remove the masking fluid (you can rub it off but be careful not to remove the modeling paste too much.)

 7) Colour the modeling paste and the stamp impressions, I used Inktense pencils.

 8) Die cut a swirl and stars , use gilding wax on the swirls and paint the stars yellow.

 9) Adhere the swirl to the center of the rays.

 10) Wrap some wire into a circle like in the photo.

 11) Attach the wire to the swirl and hang a star in the wire circle

12) Use foam tape to adhere the smaller stars and add a sentiment to the banner.

 Here is some closer looks at the stars.
