MDF Tag Canvas

Hello everyone.

Sharing a canvas made with MDF tags and a background using beautiful stamps and stencils.

For the canvas I used

Lisa Horton crafts MDF tags and panel,

Majestic and Jewelled butterflies stamps,

Trailing foliage Ivy stamp set,

Daisy Burst stamp,

Nested banners dies,

Bubble wrap, Script stencils,

Mica powders,

Sisal,

Gold embossing powder,

White card,

White Gesso paint,

Inks and glue gun.

I used the panel at the back of tags with hot glue gun.

 Added white gesso paint to the edges of tags as you can see on the photo.

I blended dye inks with stencils randomly to the white card, used purple and green colour inks.

I drawn around the canvas with pencil on the back of blended card, also I marked little dots where the little holes of the tags are. 

Cut around the card then I draw lines of the edge around 0,4 cm to make slightly smaller then the canvas itself.

I used my punch holes and punched holes from the back of the card where I marked little dots.

As you can see the photo above, the card shape is slightly smaller the the canvas.

I did added some splatter by mixing some ink with water on acetate and adding to the card. Used distress tool for the edges and tore some edges little bit and blended some ink around the edges.

I stamped some daisies and ivy with inks, some daisies I stamped with Versa mark sticky ink and added pink mica powder to the stamped flowers. Then glued the patterned card with tacky glue to mdf tag canvas.

Stamped the butterflies and Ivy coloured them with distress inks using a bit of water. Fussy cut out the butterflies and ivy. I mixed little bit of pink mica powder with water and coloured the butterflies on top of red colour. Stamped the sentiment with Versa mark sticky ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I layered some ivy and butterflies into canvas before gluing them as you can see the photo above.

Who said hearts have to be red? MDF tag

Hey everyone! 

Today, I'd like to share with you my MDF tag with GREEN hearts. 

Yes, GREEN - anyways... who said they have to be red?

Start by glueing the greyboard hearts to your MDF tag - this is to add dimension.

Then paint it with a base colour - as usual, I used ivory but white will be just as good.

Next, use the hearts stencil and run texture paste through it - but only on the hearts.

It might be a bit tricky but you can clean up all the excess when taking the stencil off.

Next is colour - I opted for two shades of fluorescent green.

Now decorations... Green and yellow flowers, some lace and green sisal (which you can find in Lisa's shop). 

Al you need to do is arrange the elements into a lovely cluster with sisal and lace as the base.

To 'spice it up', I have also added some purple buds, glass cabochons and outlined the edges with a white acrylic pen.

Your tag is finished and... looking awesome in green :)

See you next time.

Texture Tag with Stencils and Greyboard Heart

Hi everyone, Nikki here with my first blog post! Today I am sharing an MDF tag I have altered using the Heart Flurry Stencil - one of the stencils Lisa has designed.

I started by adding texture paste through the stencils and then with my palette knife creating additional texture by scraping into the surface a little. Once dry I covered the entire tag with black gesso.

I then dry brushed with white gesso carefully highlighting only the raised surface. This is one of my favourite techniques allowing me to then add washes of coloured paint over the surface that are only visible on the white highlights... the black areas remaining black.

I used the same technique on the MDF hearts but this time the texture was created without the stencil.

I added a little pink sisal underneath.

Finally I stamped one of the greetings from the Ticker Phrases stamp set.

See you next month
