Hi everyone, I am loving creating with Bee Arty's December kit 'Grateful Heart' designed by the amazing Michelle Grant and I thought I'd share an inspiration piece I made using some of this kit.
Step 1. Firstly I cut out a large rectangular of black card stock.
Step 2. Placing some Colour Blast White Heavy Gesso onto my working mat I used a roller to spread it out evenly. I positioned the black tag over the gesso and pressed it down and lifted it off slowly. After letting it dry, I cut the corners to make a tag and punch a small hole for the string to be added later.
Step 3. I used my Big Shot die cut machine to cut out a few black and white leaves and string leaves from black and white cardstock.
Step 4. Colour Blast Olive Mica powder with a little water was perfect to sponge some colour over the lined stencil, adding some of the colour in a variety of spots on the gessoed black tag, as well as using a brush to add some colour to the kits chipboard leaves.
Step 5. I then began layering the die cuts, flattened straw cut in 2 and a few different flowers and leaves. After positioning all the pieces the way I wanted, I began to glue them in place, adding some of the pearls into the flower centre to soften the look and add depth to the tag.
Step 6. To complete the tag I added some words which I edged with black ink and some string in the top of the tag.
