tag tutorial by Maria McGuire

today Maria outdid herself with lollipop flowers and printed fabric. Check out her step by step tutorial.

VersaMark was stamped directly from the pad through the stencil. White embossing powder was added and heated.

After Embossing.

A light watercolor wash was painted over the tag in pink.

Foam stamp image was stamped using grey acrylic paint.

A piece of fabric was cut and adhered to the tag with Matte Medium. A piece of Prima trim was added to the center of a Prima flower.

A Faber Castell Pitt Pen in Black was used to outline the fabric. The quote was stamped and highlighted with watercolor paint. A bird was stamped and cut by hand to place on the tag.

I have never thought to use a stencil that way- with the white and watercolors- so cool! You have so many layers and they work together. So many things in your tag but the focal point is very clear. There is so much creativity in you- thanks for sharing it with us!
