Compendium of Curiosities III, #34

Challenge #34 is Layering Stencil: Monoprint which I made a tag. This technique is on page 48 of the Compendium of Curiosities III book.

The sponsor for this challenge is The Funkie Junkie Boutique who is giving away a $25.00 shopping spree.

Again, I made a tag for this challenge.

“CREATIVITY BUTTERFLY”

TAG

To start off with, I inked the front of the tag using three colors: Wild Honey, Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves. Then I inked the bottom portion only on the reversed side using the same colors.

Then I misted or dropped water on the tag to add to the background.

Next, I used two stencils. One for the front of the tag and one for the back of the tag. The Layered Stencils: Monoprint technique was used for both stencils as well as the same colors as I used for the background.

Score 1 3/4″ from the bottom and fold on score line to make a pocket.

I used Tim Holtz Butterfly Duo die with textfade and and Tim Holtz Trellis die. Which I inked using the same colors.

Next I used Tarnish Brass Distress Spray Stain.

I used Alcohol Ink – Gold Mixative on a small star.

Then I used gold paint on a word band and distress stain for ribbon.

Then put it all together and added some washi tape.

I made a small 2 x 3″ tag for inside the pocket. Inked it with Wild Honey and Seedless Preserves. Then added a star stamp with Peacock Feathers ink. Lastly, I add a phrase.

This was the final challenge in this series. I do plan on doing the next series where ever Tim comes out with the next book.
