Two Peas in a Pod Embracing Happiness - Mixed Media Tag

Happy Saturday!  Let's create a mixed media tag using just a few items that I had on hand.

Ingredients:
#5 Manila tag
Brusho Colours - I used turquois, scarlet, ultramarine, and purple
Mini water spritzer
Shimmerz Dazzlerz in Foiled Again
Stencil with various size circles
Dew Drops in lovely shades of blue  (You need to get your favorite colors in a variety of shapes)
Tim Holtz Ideology Paper Dolls
A pen and straight edge
Rub on sentiment
Liquid adhesive and dimensional tape

Directions:

1.  Spritz your manila tag with water and sprinkle with your desired colours of Brusho watercolour crystals.  Let dry.



2.  Add dimensional texture paste (dazzlerz) through the stencil in the upper left corner and on the right side.  Let dry completely.



3.  Add the rub on.  Notice if you look closely there was a tiny problem with adherence of the letters in two tiny spots.  I filled that in with a black pen.  Shhhhh! Don't tell.



4.  Add the paper dolls with dimensional tape.




5.  Create a border with a pen and straight edge or whatever you choose.

6.  Adhere dew drops as is pleasing to you for accents with liquid adhesive.  Let dry and share your photo with us on our Facebook page!


Hope you've enjoyed this quick little project.  It would really brighten any gift and was just the "art therapy" I needed to brighten my mood as we are staying home and staying safe in the US at this time.

Best wishes and happy crafting to all of you!
