Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media April - Travel


Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.



In my last HLS MM post I mentioned I had been on 
 a Tando Mixed Media Crafty Retreat with friends.
I said I would talk about about Andy Skinner's workshop in a later post...


On the first day of the retreat we made these -
 the decorated notebook and tag were from Andy Skinner's workshop.


The process of decorating this book started by attaching chipboard pieces.


Next came gesso, one step crackle medium and various acrylics and water based oil paint.



It was rubbed down to add a distressed look.



See the crackle?



Along side we were working on the tag - gesso, acrylics, crackle medium...





I really enjoyed it!!
So when I got home I used similar techniques to make my two tags for
 Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media Travel



My large tag has chipboard pieces and layers of acrylic and crackle medium.
The sentiment is from Graciellie Designs Friends Set.
This was printed on paper, stuck in place and then the whole was distressed with antiquing cream.


The small tag has similar layers and is over stamped in archival ink with a magazine freebie stamp.



Happy Crafting!
