1. Using 30 gsm cardstock cut tag

to approx 9 cm x 16 cm2. Squeeze a little light blue and

white acrylic paint in to a pallet.

Above I have used Americana Spa

Blue and Warm White.

3. Apply one coat of blue and dry

with a heat tool.

4. Turn over and apply one coat to

the back.

Note: This is optional but I find it

is the best way of stopping the tag

from curling.

5. Pick up a small amount of

white on a square brush and start

to drag horizontality across the

tag to give the appearance of

clouds.

6. Pour A little Adirondack

blending solution into a small

plastic container and have a small

paintbrush and a clean sponge

applicator to hand.

7. Apply small dots of Raspberry,

Pool and Red Pepper Alcohol Ink

onto the applicator along with a

little blending solution and

pounce onto the tag starting at the

top work the ink half way down.

8. Pour a little blending solution

onto the clean sponge applicator

and pounce gently blending and

fading the alcohol ink into the

background as you work down.

9. Dip the end of a small

paintbrush into the pot containing

the blending solution and dab on

top of the alcohol ink, this will

cause it to disperse and createinteresting patterns.

10. Once dry spray with a light

coat of Americana matte spray

sealer.

11. Pick up some Chipped Saphire

Distress ink onto a blending tool

and lightly blend onto the edgesof the tag.

12. It should now look something

like this.

13. Now its ready to stamp.

I have used stamps from two of

my sets, Altered Easter and

Nature. Above I have stamped at a

slight angle and painted in some

grass with Willow Alcohol ink

14. I have stamped this tag using

Stazon but you could use

Archival.

15. To finish I have tied the tag

with fibres from Maya Road.
