Instructions:
-
Take the wallpaper
sample and stamp dress image onto it using the StazOn in. (Note: Palette
Hybrid inks and VersaCraft ink (TAC) could, also, be used for this).
After stamping the dress, color in with color pencils and blend with
blender pen. Then, color in the hanger with a black fine-tip pen and cut
out dress image (let pen ink dry/set completely before assembling on
tag).
-
Cut out flower print
from the wallpaper piece and set aside.
-
Of the remaining
sections from the wallpaper sample, tear off three pieces: Tear 2 ¼” x
1” for the top, 2 ¼” x ½” for the bottom and 1 ½” x 1 ½” piece for the
center.
-
With the Pink
Flamingo paper, tear four pieces: 2 ¼” x 1” for the top, 2 ¼” x ½” for
the bottom, 1 ¼” x 1 ½” for the center square and 2 ¼” x ½” for the
center strip.
-
On the cut wallpaper
piece for the bottom of the tag, stamp “beautiful girl.”
-
Ink all of the side
of the torn wallpaper/paper pieces with StazOn ink. Layer all of the
torn paper/wallpaper pieces together and cut wallpaper flower print as
shown on the tag. Adhere the pieces with Yes! Paste (or other thick
/strong bonding adhesive like glue dots or E6000 as thinner adhesive
will not bond to the cork surface completely).
-
Use a little of the
StazOn ink to highlight some of the edges on the silk flowers, attach
brad through the flower center and adhere each flower on the tag as
shown.
-
Attach the concho to
the top center of the tag and thread cut pieces of ribbon and fiber
through and tie-off.
-
Ink the edges of the
wax paper piece and adhere to the center of the tag by spreading a
small, thin amount of adhesive on the edges only. Adhesive will dry
clear.
