Altered Chipboard Tag

 

TAG YOU’RE IT!

Ingredients:

Time and Keys die sheet from The Artistic Stamper

Powder watercolour paints

Chipboard Tags & Wings

Archival Black inkpad

Sandpaper

Watch face

Printed twill

Glue

Hole punch

Instructions:

Mount and cut out your stamps

Mix the powder paints with water, using colours you like

Paint your large tag and small tag making sure you have a full coverage.  Don’t be afraid to combine colours, although it is best to leave the first colour to dry before applying another over the top

·         Paint the wings using your choice of colours – it may be preferable to use a different colour for the wings so they contrast with the tags

·         Set the wings & tags to one side to dry

·         Ink up your clock face stamps and stamp these onto Post It notes, making sure you have stamped over the sticky part of the note. Now cut these out. These will be your “masks”

·         By this time your tags & wings should be dry.  Using your sandpaper, gently distress the edges of your tags and lightly brush the sandpaper over the wings until you have the distressed look you want

·         Now take your first clock face stamp, ink it up and stamp directly onto the large tag on the top left hand side

·         Place the corresponding Post It note “mask” over the image on the tag

·         Now ink up a different clock face stamp and stamp this partly over the “mask” and onto the tag

·         Repeat this process (remembering to leave the “masks” in place) until you have got a complete line of clock images down the left of the tag

·         With the masks still in place, ink up a phrase stamp and stamp this diagonally down the right hand side of the stamp.  You can stamp this randomly so the words actually will read down the tag

·         Now turn to the wings.  These can be left plain or stamped onto depending on your taste.  It looks good either way and you can always re-use your masks if you wish to have more clock images on them

·         The little tag can be decorated as you would like, you could add a few words or add a clock image if you would like to

·         To add a little dimension to the whole project you could drag your inkpad gently around the edges of the tags and wings

·         You will now need to take your metal watch face embellishment.  It is personal taste whether you would like to distress this but it does look nice if you gently rub your sandpaper over the face and then just brush the edges with your inkpad.

·         Place your wings onto the lower half of the large tag and once you have them placed where you want them, snip the thicker rounded ends off, this will mean you can butt them up together so they can stick together flat.  Once you have them positioned correctly, you can go ahead and stick them down

·         Next, take your watch face and place this in the middle of the wings and stick it down

·         Using your twill, fix the little tag to the large one and tie the twill through the holes

·         You should now have a completed Altered Tag!
