It is 'Anything Goes' week on the Tando Creative blog so I thought I would have a go at something a bit different. I am really loving my alcohol inks at the moment and wanted to use them on one of the greyboard technique tags but as they would not work on the board surface I decided to cover my tag using YUPO paper which is a special synthetic paper that works with the inks as it is non porous...
I started by drawing around the tag onto the YUPO paper and then cut it out. I used Decoart Decoupage Matt to stick it to the tag. Using a selection of pink, yellow and orange alcohol inks I applied the ink and blew it around until I was happy with the look, then added gold foil which adhered to the tacky areas...
The tag was left to dry overnight and then I used alcohol lift ink from the re inker bottle onto a foam blending tool and placed it through the distressed diamond mini stencil. I then dabbed off the residue before burnishing the areas to lift the ink...
Next I used some red archival ink with a script stamp...
As the background was quite bright I wanted the focal points to have more of a silhouette look, so I chose a butterfly from the Tando butterfly grab bag as well as two Tando flowers with stems.
These were painted with black gesso then I added a couple of layers of black embossing powder which I stamped into with the same script stamp from earlier. To help the texture stand out I rubbed on a little bit of gold gilding wax...
These were then adhered to the tag using glue and foam pads for extra dimension and a Tim Holtz sticker added as a finishing touch...
Here are the products that I used:
* Tando Creative Technique Binder and Tags
* Tando Creative Flowers with Stems Grab Bag
* Tando Creative Butterfly Grab Bag
* Tando Creative Mini Stencil - Distressed Diamond

Happy crafting,
