Summer tag - upcycle and create

Dear friends

Today I'm sharing a mixed media summer tag I created for ColourArte.

I used the cardboard and the plastic cover from the package I had from a Mechanical set by Finnabair.I had so much fun upcycling and altering them and I really love the result!

I hope you will enjoy my video with the process and get inspired! Don't forget to leave me a comment, as well give me thumbs up on my You Tube channel  :)

Altered heart tag

Happy Sunday dear friends!

Today I'm sharing a Valentine's Day project, an altered heart tag I created for ColourArte.

For this project I used: 

ColourArte products:

• H2Os Shimmering Watercolors: Guatemalan Green, Pink Crocus, Jasmine , Periwinkle
• Radiant Gel: Vavoom Red

Other products:

• heart tag
• 7 Dots Studio tags
• 2Crafty chipboard flower
• arrow stencil
• flowers
• White Gesso
• 3D Gloss Gel
• glass beads and glitter
• wire
• black grass

First I applied the 3D Radiant Gel with a pallet knife on the stencil. It dries pretty quickly, but if you are impatient like me you can speed the process with a heat gun.

 Then I sprayed some water on the Twinkling H2Os to activate them - that takes about 5 minutes, so I had the time to glue everything down with the 3D Gloss Gel.

When the H2Os where ready, I used a paintbrush and colored some spots here and there...

Last step was to glue the glass glitter with the 3D Gloss Gel and make some splashes with white gesso.

That was pretty easy and quick, don't you think? :)

With this project I'm entering the 'Hearts' challenge at Studio 75

I hope you got some ideas on how to make a Valentine's Day protect.
