You can see the foiling I was telling you about earlier popped up again on this tag! I really liked the Distress Paints. I do use acrylic paint and I really liked the versatility of this product. Easy to apply direct from the bottle, great coverage but doesn't overload the paper and dries with a smooth finish which is great for stamping over. Needless to say I will be adding to the 4 bottles I purchased to try out this faux patina technique. Ha ha!
Here is the link to the video I made of how I got from A - Tim's Inspiration April Tag to B - my finished April Tag.
It's looking a bit messy on my desk there but this shot is nothing compared to the state of my desk when I had finished playing with my new Distress Paints!! Steel yourself.......
See how I push everything out to the sides so I can keep my video frame looking all neat and tidy ish!!!!
The reason I am posting this as a Trash to Treasure Post as well as 12 Tags of 2013 is because I did actually use my plastic wrap to make the little bubbles to capture my bugs under.
I know it is a bit naughty to keep bugs in a jar but this is ok right?!!! I am a bit late doing this but I promised to send a card to someone that commented on my Last Trash to Treasure Post and the winner is.........The lovely Mo! I hope you read this Mo. I will get that card off to you soon with a little surprise for you too. Better Late than Never ;-)
I am off to finish off one of the tutorials for my Etsy shop. I have two projects almost done and I keep way laying myself.....Focus Helen.....Focus!
Thank you for popping by X
Very cool tag! I love that you show your process! I love the use of the plastic packaging to make the little shaker elements on your tag! Such cute bees! I am loving those paints! Your ribbon turned out great too. I had doing April's tag, I just realized I have to get going on May soon!
