For my fifth project for CreativeJumpStart 2014? I am and
me too. To enter the challenge for a Giveaway by Sponsor StencilGirl I needed
to use their product or household items . . . and sad to say I don’t have any
StencilGirl {big droopy sad face} – But I have good news . . .
I do have household items to Art this project with
I took a flap off of a hoarded handy cardboard
box, pulled the paper from one side. Note:
I did NOT wet/dampen it before pulling the paper off because sometimes I want
the rustic look. {end of this Note} I cut it into a Tag shape.
I then cut a paper doily roughly in half, found a
leftover ink stained circle from another project, {this set the color theme} stamped
a face on it and trimmed that to more or less fit the doily; Glued those
together and onto the corrugated tag with regular white school glue. I rummaged
through my Alpha / Word Bin* and found the scrapbooking embellishment that says
“Journey” I stuck that on. I then found a tiny dragonfly bead and glued that
onto the Journey embelli.
The Tag needed something else, oooo Washi Tape but when I
looked through my stash nothing really seemed to fit {ah shoot} So being the
Artist that I am, I found my First Aid Box and pulled out the Paper Tape that
is normally used with gauze for covering cuts and I stamped the word Timeless
on that. It wasn’t dark enough so I went over it with a black Sharpie marker. I
used matte medium to make sure it stuck on really well and would be sealed.
I was really liking the Tag, but still . . . ah ha
buttons! I found three Pearl shanked buttons and the shank fit very nicely in
the trough of the corrugate. This time I used thick tacky glue to adhere them.
It needed sparkle so I found some shimmery watercolor paint and very, and I do
mean very lightly washed some over portions of the tag. (you may be
able to see some glints of it in the ^close up photo^). I went over the whole tag
front and back with matte medium to seal it.
Finally I added the hole with eyelet and used pale green crochet
thread for the tag pull. Bam a Lam and Voila Tag’age was made.
Thanks for checking out my Project #5 for CJS2014 using
household items and StencilGirl challenge.
*Alpha / Word Bin – the place I keep words, letters, phrases,
cut from junk mail / magazines, leftover scrapbook stuffs and one mustn’t
forget fortune cookie love notes.
Happy Art’ing Y’all
