Growing in Unity Day 4

 

Good Morning everyone. Today I am sharing two tags I made.  I started out by using gesso on my tags so my colors I was going to use would show. These tags were brown in color and would not hold much color if I tried to add it without gesso.  Gesso also helps so any liquid doesn't just soak straight into the tag. 

After the gesso dried, I started playing with Ken Oliver's liquid watercolor.  Adding a little water to help the liquid flow.  After I was happy with the colors I used my heat tool to dry them and set the color in.  I chose to make both of them different. The first one with an older, rustic look and the second with a very colorful look. The second one I also decided to add to the background and used a stencil in black ink using my blending brushes. 

 I used Unity Stamp Companies Feel the Joy stamp.  It comes with a flower stamp and a sentiment.  So I used both. One on each tag. Since the rustic tag is lighter in color I stamped directly on the tag.  The other I stamped on some white cardstock to make it pop.  

I hope you enjoyed my project today.  My week is coming to an end so tomorrow's post will be my last day. Make sure your getting those comments in on each day of my blog posts so you get the chance to win!!!
