Here is my latest Design Team sample for Polkadoodles. Mixed media is so much fun as you get to combine different mediums and there really are no rules. I used a combination of stamps, stencils, inks, sprays, pens and pencils to make this colourful over-sized tag.
To start, I made my own tag out a of an A4 sheet of mixed
media card stock. I then sprayed it
using a combination of Distress Ink and Distress Oxide sprays. Once dried I used the ‘Creative Angel ‘
stencil with distress ink pads and stamped the ‘Forever Special Angel’ head
stamp with Versa Fine Clair in ‘Nocturne’.
I coloured the skin tone using Caran D’Ache water soluble wax pastel in
‘Salmon’. I used water soluble Woody
pencils for the hair, lips and eyes.
To add detail to the tag, I used a text stamp from the
‘Vintage Text’, stamp set and a border stamp from the ‘Forever Special Angel’
stamp set, highlighting with a white Sakura pen. To ground the angel I stamped a leaf border
from the ‘Believe’ stamp set and continued with the leaf motif using a large
leaf stamp from the ‘Little Kingdom’ stamp set which I coloured using Distress
Oxide ink pads. I wanted to enhance the
teal colour from the tag, so I stamped a circular shape from ‘Magic Garden’,
colouring it in the same teal blue oxide as the background.
To finish the tag, I stamped the sentiment from the
‘Believe’ stamp set. This project really
highlights how the different Polkadoodles stamp sets work together.
I look forward to seeing your projects this month. Happy Crafting!
