Fairy Dreams Tag


This month we are teaming up with Sin City Stamps to bring you some fun combo projects using stamps and/or chipboard from this fun company.


Today I wanted to share my fairy themed tag...

Fairy Dreams


The green background was created by placing a stencil over a piece of white cardstock. Spread a layer of heavy body gesso, modeling or embossing paste over the stencil.  Carefully lift off the stencil and you have a fun design left on the cardstock.  Once dry you can color with desired medium.  For this example I used Silks Acrylic Glaze.


The Anime fairy was stamped on watercolor paper and colored using watercolor pencils and blended with a Niji Waterbrush.  A bit of clear Stickles Glitter Glue was added to her wings for a bit of  sparkle.  Once everything was dry I fussy cut her and mounted her on the tag using double stick foam tape to pop her off the background for a bit more dimension.

  1. Roni, I really like the tag. The soft aqua color almost makes her look like a water sprite. Very pretty!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
