| Anything goes and add a touch of lime green says Wendy from the design team from Tag Tuesday, and that is exactly what I did for the current challenge .. all a bit of an experiment. |
Here is how I created these tags ....
 |
| 1. Tear up some magazine pages and randomly glue on a base sheet of paper |
 |
| 2. Measure approximately that a tag size has been covered with torn paper. |
 |
| 3. Make a paper mask to find the part of the collage which looks best for the tag. |
 |
| 4. Cover the collaged paper with a stencil ( this is a Tim Holtz stencil) and dab acrylic paint on the stencil . Have an old plastic gift card or credit card ready. |
 |
| 5. Push the paint through the stencil with the card. This does not have to be evenly distributed. |
 |
| 6. Remove the stencil carefully. I quite like the way the random pattern seems to make the collage more cohesive and it has softened the obvious bits like the number 4 |
 |
| 7. All that is left to do - cut the piece to fit the tag, punch a hole and add a hanger. |
Fantastic tags! So glad you are back with us again! Hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeleteA great way to use small bits of paper and the texture paste gives some lovely texture.
