Tando Creative: It's A Beautiful Day- Tag Plaque- Fiona Randall

Morning All Fiona here with a Tando Tag Plaque

and of course using a Butterfly theme.

I used one of my Gelli Printed backrounds which was cut to size and adhered to a Tando size 10 Tag.

I then inked the edges with black Archival Ink

Onto a lighter portion of the gelli print waste that was left after cutting the tag shape,

I stamped the large butterfly from the Butterfly Mind set from Chocolate Baroque and fussy cut it out.

I then layered and attached a pale blue organza butterfly to the larger fussy cut butterfly with a spot of glue.

Next I die cut the pediments for the top and bottom of the tag from Tando Grey Board using a Tim Holtz Die. I gave them both a coat of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Silver and dried with a heat tool. I then applied a coat of DecoArt Antiquing Cream in Carbon Black to the pediments and wiped back with a damp paper towel to give an aged effect.

I then glued and attached the pediments to the top and bottom of the tag as shown.

The layered Butterfly was then glued to the tag at a jaunty angle.

A rub on was added to the top left of the tag and a sentiment to the bottom right of the tag.

Shading was then added around the sentiment strips and under the pediments with a stabilo All pencil and blended out with a water brush.

I then cut a piece of Tando Grey Board to size and gave it a coat of DecoArt Premium Acrylic in Carbon Black.

The tag was then attached to the grey board base using offcuts of grey board to give depth and dimension.

A simple project with limited supplies with a vintage feel.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read.

Hugs Fiona.
