Birthday Mixed Media Tag with Karen Jiles

Hi there, 

It’s Karen sharing a Birthday Mixed Media Tag that I created with the Birthday Greetings, Garden Sign Combo and Intricate Butterfly chipboard sets.  I loved how this tag and all of the elements that were used to create it. Take a peek at my tutorial below.

Step 1: Distress the edges of an inked manila tag using oxide ink (Evergreen Bough) and a foam tool.

Step 2: Adhere flowers, clear pebbles and beaded pins using adhesive.

Step 3: Form and round the wings on the butterfly with finger and adhere to the tag with adhesive.

Step 4: Adhere “Happy Birthday” worded chipboard and birds from the Garden Sign Combo chipboard set to the tag using E6000.

Step 5: Add dyed ribbon to the tag. Using a paintbrush, highlight the flowers and dyed ribbon with gesso. Tap on gesso using paintbrush.

Step 6: Continue embellishing as desired.
