Anatomy of a Tag with 7 Dots Studio and Helmar

Today a thought I would share a quick pictorial of the process I used for creating the tags for the 7 Dots Studio & Helmar Promo Week.

Gather all  materials

Squish Distress Ink directly on non-stick craft sheet

Spritz with water...look how the colors

have intensified

Oops...left tag MUDDY...why?

This was the 2nd tag and 2 complementary colors

 had mixed together...not pretty!

Fixed tag by adding Distress Ink directly on tag ;)

Distress edges with my favorite brown...

Gathered Twigs

Adds just the right amount of depth & interest

The muddy tag all fixed...happy dance!

Embossing with Distress Ink applied to embossing plate

Layering papers for tags

                                     

Hmmm...thinking...the hardest part ;)
