Tando Creative: Fragile Heart Tag

Hi there! Hannah here with my very first post for Tando!
I am so excited to be sharing my designs with you all and hope you enjoy the journey with me.

This weeks theme is "Tags"

Using a Tando tag, I have built up layers of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic Paints and crackle medium Weather Wood to create a really distressed and grungy background.

Work up from the base layer, from darkest to lighter colours. With each added layer, rub areas back to reveal the layers underneath.

Add detail in the form of stamped images and greyboard bolts, treated with a rusty paint effect in keeping with the design.

Create your central motief using a greyboard heart loaded with DecoArt Dimensional Effects paste dry brushed with Metallic Gold to highlight the texture.
