Hello everyone!
I have made a gift bag and a matching tag to share with you. I also have a small tutorial for you. An easy one.
First let me show you the bag and tag...
I made that front panel with distress paints. These work amazing for back grounds. Mine isn't perfect but I like it! :p
This is the rear side of the bag. Kept it very simple...
Made a similar BG fro the tag also.
Do you want to know how I made the background and those flourishes on the BG?
Here is a small tutorial for you..
Sorry for the bad pictures..
Supplies required-
1. Distress paints (Available in Crafters Corner. Not uploaded but contact Shalini in case you want to buy these awesome paints.)- I have used Fired brick and wild honey distress paints.
2. Water colour paper
3.Craft mat or a laminated sheet
4. Mini mister (or just anything to spray some water to blend the paints)
5. An embossing folder- I have used a cuttle bug embossing folder.
6. Distress ink - I have used worn lipstick distress ink here
Step 1. Select distress paints of your choice.
Step 2. Dab them onto a craft mat
step 3. Spray lots of water
step 4. press down a water colour paper onto the paints on the craft mat. Swirl it if you don't mind blending the colours. Mine is a bit messy but I like the final look of it.
Paints once dry dont blend when you add an extra coating. This lets you achieve brighter colours. So I took some extra wild honey colour onto my paper.
Step 5. Take an embossing folder. As you all are aware there are two sides to an embossing folder. One thats smooth and another that's not smooth. Apply distress ink to the side of the folder which is NOT SMOOTH.
Step 6. Just press it down on to the BG you have already made...
Simple, isn't it? :)
I want to thank the person who helped me by sending her embossing folders without which I wouldn't have been able to do THIS post. It wouldn't have been possible without your help girlie! Love you! :)
So that's it for now. Have you played along our current challenge which is 'gifts galore'? You have five more days to play along. And the prize is...
The winner will get to choose TWO distress stains of their choice from a very wide range of colours! Isn't that great? :-)
Any queries, send a mail to Shalini at info@crafterscorner.in.
Any questions about the project or tutorial in this post, I'll be glad to answer.
See you.. Take care!
Love
Sindhu..
