Tropical tag # 2



This is the second tag I made today.


 
On this tag I stamped the leaves with Versamark  and clear embossing powder. I used my inkpads and watercolor pencils to color the leaves and the background. On the parrot I used Prismacolor pencils,  I cut the image and used foam tape to adhere it. For the flower I used  a Sizzix Framelit die and the center was created using some plastic flowers from the dollar store. On the edges I used Tim Holtz distress ink and finished it with some fibers.
 
Materials used:
  • Stampendous Jumbo Parrot Stamp
  • Tim Holtz distress ink- frayed burlap
  • Prismacolor pencils
  • Sizzix Framelit- Flowers # 3
  • Clear embossing powder
 

Tropical Tags


Today I was playing with the Jumbo Parrot Stamp from Stampendous and this is what I created...tags.




 
The parrot in this tag is made  of cold porcelain. You can find recipes on you tube.
I made the porcelain, stamped the image, cut the excess off and left the image to air dry for a few days. I used watercolor paper to create the background. I stamped the leaves using Versamark then used clear embossing powder. I  used watercolor pencils and my inkpads to color in the leaves and the background. I added some aged embossing enamel for the grass and around the edges of the tag. I finished with some fibers on the bottom border. The background was sprayed with glimmer mist in green and yellow and the parrot has blue pearl ex on the feathers.
 
The top image is stamped on cardstock and the bottom one is the porcelain. You can see it shrinks a bit.


 
The image on the left is the parrot stamped on regular cardstock and the one on the right is the back  of the porcelain one. I left it unpainted so you could see what it looks like.
