“Loved” Mixed Media Tag with Karen Jiles

Hi there,

It’s Karen sharing a “Loved” Mixed Media Tag that I created with the Bubble Wrap Stencil and chipboard border. I love the combination. The use of the stencil enabled me to add a pop of colour and the chipboard border added some great elements throughout the tag. The chipboard and stencil really paired well with the flowers and pins that I embellished the tag with.  The Stone Drops added some vintage and aged effects. Take a look at how this tag came together in the tutorial below.

Step 1: Lay Bubble Wrap stencil on top of manila tag and secure stencil using washi tape. Transfer Bubble Wrap pattern onto tag using a Blending Dauber and Panama Rose ink.

Step 2: Cut chipboard border down to size of tag and adhere to tag. Note: Save the leftover chipboard for a future project. Add flowers, leaves and clear pebbles to tag.

Step 3: Add additional flowers, metal charm, beaded pins and dyed ribbon. Distress edges to tag using Panama Rose ink.

Step 4: Add White Stone Drops to edges of tag and heart pins.

Step 5: Using white paint and a paint brush, highlight the flowers, leaves and dyed ribbon.

Step 6: Tap on white paint with paint brush to enhance the overall design.

Step 7: Add crystals to the tag using Crystal Katana tool.

Step 8: Continue adding texture to the tag. Note: I added white Stone Drops to the chipboard border to add some more texture.

Step 9: Continue embellishing as desired.
