This month for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts I've used their 3 tag set to create something starry and dreamy.
With some layers of paint, chipboard stars and glitter those kraft coloured tags are transformed.
They are the perfect backdrop for the sentiments and vintage images found on THIS Stars and Dreamers Collage Sheet (which is totally free to download because I love you.)
If you need a little guidance putting these beauties together, I've put together a video tutorial for you.
I do use a fair few layers of colour... but I honestly think that multiple washes add a depth of colour and visual interest that is incomparable to a slap of thick paint.
But hey! if a thick coat of acrylic is your thing... go for it! Art and craft is all about YOU, the maker. I wholeheartedly encourage you to do what works for you.
Here are all the bits I used to create these starry sparkly tags:

ReplyDeleteThese are so very pretty, and have given me inspiration to make some gifts for my sisters. Not exactly like yours, but growing from your idea, and using photos of our mom who passed on a few years ago. She was a miniaturist, doll maker, and artist, and would have loved these sparkly, dreamy tags. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYour tags are brilliant! So dreamy and I love the colors. I must give these a try at some point this week. Thanks for sharing and for the print out.
