Thursday at The paperie

I am trying to go to The Paperie every Thursday. This was the second week I got there and again I got  a lot done......

I will show how I did these tags later. Only have 6 left to do for my Tag Book.

Glass Bead Tag # 3

This Tag ended up being a bit funky. I went crazy with the acrylic spray paint which I made myself (Liquitex Basic Acrylic Paint  with Water in an Inkssentials 2oz Misters)  and Glass Bead Gels.

I added the Glass Bead Gel  in just a fun way and got the following.

Added some blue Staedtler Watercolor Paint

Wiped some of the blue paint off and got the following.....

Glass Bead Tag #2

Here is Tag #2 of the Glass Gel Beads

I used White size 16 Creative Tags ,Snowflake Stencil from The Crafter's Worksop and Staedtler Watercolor Paints

I used a palette knife to spread the Glass Bead Gel on the stencil. This is what I got when I removed the stencil.

I dried the tag with my Ranger's Craft Heating Tool and I the applied blue watercolour paint to the whole tag.

I then wiped off the excess paint from the tag and the Glass Bead Gel.

Perfect Pearl, Perfect Pearls Mist was sprayed over the whole tag

After it dried I got the following tag.

I also did the back of the tag using watercolour paint.

I really like the way this tag turned out.

Happy Birthday Michelle!!!

Michelle a week before she died

Happy Birthday too you!

Happy Birthday too you!

Happy Birthday my Darling Michelle

Happy Birthday too you!

It is Michelle's Birthday today and I always celebrate and remember the day she came into our families life. She would have been 26 years old.  She is always there for me and I still miss her. She gave me soooo  much and I believe I am the person I am today because of her. I never forget her and people who know me know I always talk about her. " If you do not talk about the people who have died then how are other people to know that they lived!" 

I love you and Happy Birthday Michelle. Have a Great Day!!

Glass Bead Gel Tag #1

I am doing 3 tags using Golden Glass Bead Gel  and size 16 white Creative Tags

Here is Tag #1 I mixed Golden Fluid Acrylics with the Bead Gel ......

The following are the supplies I used...

Glass Bead Gel, Adirondack Color Wash,Water Mist, Palette Knife,  a Stencil and of course a Tag

I coloured the tag using stream and lettuce Adirondack Color Wash and using the water mist to blend the colours.

It was fun

After the tag dried I mixed glass bead gel with the fluid acrylics and using my 6x6 Wood Grain Stencil from The Crafter's Worksop and a palette knife I added a design to the tag.
Notice the colour change in the design. The design on the right is dried and a slightly different colour to the newly added design on the left..... 

Another look at the difference in colour...

After all the glass bead gel dried I sprayed the tag with Goosebumps Spray.

And here is the Tag #1

I coloured the back of the tag with colour wash but not sure what else I am going to do. I well have to see when I make my book but here is the back......

Hopefully I will get one done each day and in two weeks I will start my Tag Book.

The Beginning of My Tag Book

I am starting to do my tag book. I will need 14 tags that are done on both sides. I plan to do a tag a day and I am not sure if I will do both sides at once.
I am going to do the tags using the same products I used on the tags I did at The Paperie
Here it goes......

Fun at The Paperie

I can't believe it has been a week since I last blogged! I have been recovering from the flu and I finally got  the energy to do some work.
I have been wanting to use all the Golden Mediums I bought. So I decided to try these mediums on tags and today I did them. I have used the Fiber Paste and Molding Paste before on the canvases I have done but the other are for the first time. I went to the The Paperie and had a lot of fun trying my mediums.
This is what I used........

My Golden products

I used The Crafter's Workshop Stencils,which I forgot to put in picture, to use with the mediums.
I coloured the tags with Adirondack Color Wash and Perfect Pearl Mists.
The mediums I used are Fiber Paste, Clear  Tar Gel, Extra Heavy Gel Medium, Light Molding Paste, Coarse Pumice Gel, Glass Bead Gel and Gesso......

My stenciling

Tag #1
I mixed the Extra Heavy Gel with Ultramarine Blue Golden Heavy Acrylic Paint and used it with the Numerals Stencil and got the following tag.

Tag #2

I used Clear Tar Gel with the Numeral stencil

Tag #3

I used Coarse Pumice Gel with the Fish Scale Stencil

Tag#4

I used Glass Bead Gel with the Wood Grain Stencil (Picture does not show how really nice this is. It is my favourite)

Tag #5

I used Light Molding Paste with the The Fish Scale Stencil

Tag #6

I used Fiber Paste with the Fish Shell Stencil

Tag #7

I used Gesso (which I did not like the effect) with the Cherry Blossom Stencil

Doing these tags was fun and the effects were great. I can see how I would used them again and hope to do a Tag Album in the near future using these mediums.

If you can give them a try.
