Pair of Mixed Media Tags By Dutt Preety (December Challenge Inspiration)

Hi friends :)

Good Morning 

Preeti Datta (aka Dutt Preety) here. 

Today, I'd like to share a Pair of Sea Inspired Mixed Media Tags.

This is my inspiration for the December Challenge.

We have a beautiful, cool, summery, sea & beach themed December moodboard.

I've prepared a lil' pictorial for these tags. 

Hope you are inspired & join the challenge to win amazing prizes! 

Pair of Sea Inspired Mixed Media Tags

Tag 1: Original

Tag 2: Be True

Pictorial:

Step 1: Cut out 6 by 3 inch tags out of thick cardboard & then applied modelling paste through Tim Holtz stencils to create background texture on the tags. Then adhered chippies, sea shells, charms and art stones of various sizes onto the tags to create visually pleasing compositions. Used 3d Gel Medium for heavier items and Soft Gel Medium for the lighter items & then applied white gesso to everything to prepare them for coloring.

Step 2: Created the first layers of color, by adding Lindy's sprays in different shades of blue and brown. Dried between each layer. 

Step 3: To get more shine & intensity of color, applied Finnabair's metallic acrylic paints (sprayed with water to create movement of the color)

Step 4: Highlighted the textures and toned down the intense colors on the raised surfaces by applying Nuvo Mousse in different shades of blue, Inka Gold wax & then did dry brushing with white gesso to highlight some of the areas

Step 5: In the end, tied hemp twine to the tags, added Tim Holtz quote chips for the titles, added one little glass bottle filled with sand to each tag, adhered cheese cloth with soft gel, distressed the edges of the tags with distress inks & created white ink splatter.

Art Journal page by ... Lynn Good

Hi everyone, Lynn here

Today I would like to share an art journal page with you - I am not sure about you but here in Tasmania I am over winter and September is suppose to be spring - not snow, hail, rain and freezing temperatures that we are getting.  So I have created a spring layout in the hope the weather changes soon!

I have used the Dyan Revealey art journal and I LOVE it - the paper is beautiful.

I prep the page with clear gesso 

I have then applied Deco Art paints using a brayer

On water colour paper I have stamped images from the Paper Artsy JOFY53 stamp

I have coloured these with the same Deco Art paints that I have used on the background with the addition of the green

I have used some scrap pattern paper on the bottom of the journal.  I then begin outlining the flowers with Stablio ALL black watercolour pencil.

I then add some detail with a white sharpie pen

and some splatters

the title is a combination of Making Memories Rub on letters and Tim Holtz small talk letters.  I have also added some flowers - Dylusions "where does your garden grow" stamp.

Thanks for stopping by and I have linked the products below to the Art and Soul store.

Til next time - Happy Crafting
