MDF Tag


Hi everyone

Well, where did that week go?   I seem to have done loads and achieved nothing, but hey thats the way it goes sometimes. 

This afternoon, a large cuppa and a custard cream (or two) found there way with me into the studio for another crafty session.    Yet again I found myself drawn to the Craftascope goodies designed by Nick Roberts and this tag is the result.


The mdf tag was painted with black gesso, one dry the flower orbit stencil was laid on top and Izink organ and green texture past was used through to create the design.     While that was drying a stamping platform was used to stamp one of the flowers from the Bloom and Grow set with spiced marmalade distress ink, the ink was then drawn in using a water brush, once dry the flower was cut out. Cuts were also made in between the petals to give movement. 

The words Imagine, Trust and Believe, also Craftascope stamps were stamped using black archival ink onto white card, once dry they were cut out, edged with spiced marmalade distress ink and layered onto green then black card then added to the tag with foam pads. 

Izink diamond was painted on the tips of the petals, a gem coloured with yellow alcohol ink was added along with two metal leaves underneath, the who think was added to the tag with glue gel.

There were other projects started but are work in progress to be finished and shown another day.

Well time to sort dinner out for the others so until next time........

Happy crafting xx
