Hey there Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. Happy early Canada Day! With Canada Day being tomorrow and a few of us from the design team have created projects for a Canada 150 Blog Hop which started yesterday with Tracy from My Grandma's Tea Cup, Emerald Creek Craft Supplies and a few other designers, I created a Canada 150 tag. Although I shared my finished project on my blog yesterday, I wanted to share with you all a tutorial on how to create my Canada 150 tag at home which features a variety of our wood and chipboard pieces which are embellished with a variety of different mediums. Grab a cup of your favourite beverage and read below as I share with you how I created my Canada 150 tag.
To start, take the moose out of the Canada 150 Set. Apply two coats of Walnut Stain Distress Paint to the bottom portion of the moose. Once the Walnut Stain Distress Paint has dried, apply two coats of Antique Linen Distress Paint to the top portion of the moose.
Use the small Abstract Heart Frame from the Abstract Heart Frames set. Apply two coats of Candied Apple Distress Paint to the small abstract heart frame.
You'll need all six maple leaves from the Canada 150 Set. You'll also need to get one more Mini Wood Maple Leaf out of the package. To all seven maple leaves, apply two coats of Candied Apple Distress Stain to each maple leaf. Once the stain has dried, apply Festive Berries Distress Crayon to each maple leaf. Rub the distress crayon into the surface of each maple leaf. Before moving on to the next element, you'll need to apply Candied Apple Distress Crayon to each maple leaf. Rub the distress crayon into the surface of each maple leaf.

Take the Canada 150 Maple Leaf out of the Canada 150 Set. To start, use a VersaMark pen and apply ink to the Canada 150 section of the Maple leaf. Sprinkle Oh Canada Embossing Powder to the Canada 150 section of the maple leaf. Emboss the Canada 150 portion with your heat tool. Let cool. If needed, reapply the VersaMark pen to areas that need it and then sprinkle the Oh Canada embossing powder overtop. Emboss with your heat tool. Use theVersaMark pen to apply the ink to the outside portion of the maple leaf. Sprinkle Candy Crimson Red Embossing Powder over the outside portion of the maple leaf. Emboss the outside portion of the maple leaf with your heat tool. If needed, reapply the VersaMark pen to areas that need it and then sprinkle the Candy Crimson Red embossing powder overtop.

Take the Maple Branch out of the package. To start, use a VersaMark pen and apply ink to the branch portion of the maple branch. Sprinkle Weathered Wood Embossing Powder over the branch section of the maple branch. Emboss the branch portion with your heat tool. Let cool. Using a blending tool, blend Festive Berries and Candied Apple Distress Ink over each maple leaf. Once the ink has been applied, apply Festive Berries Distress Crayon to each maple leaf.
