A Note:
This tag is a bit unusual for me as there is absolutely no stamping on this project! I could have stamped Lady Vagabond from the Lady Vagabond Foam Mounted Stamp Set or Sir Vagabond from the Sir Vagabond Foam Mounted Stamp Set, but instead I opted to fussy-cut the seated Lady Vagabond from the Lady Vagabond 8x8 Paper Pad by Stamperia.
Instructions:
- Add drops of Wolf Eye, Sea Glass, Cloudy, and Double Denim Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints to a piece of Cut N'Dry Foam.
- Smoosh the foam onto a craft mat then apply to the top and sides of the ETCETERA mdf tag.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you're happy with the coverage. Heat set, though the paints are quick drying.
- Position the word "Discover" on the Discover Word Series Stencil where desired. Use repositionable tape to secure it in place.
- Apply Media Modeling Paste over the stencil onto the tag. Lift the stencil.
- Immediately sprinkle Aged Silver Frantage Embossing Enamel over the wet modeling paste, dump off the excess, and heat set.*
- Use Decou-Page to adhere the patterned paper from the Sir Vagabond 8x8 Paper Pad to the painted tag. The map is of the New York/New Jersey area and actually includes the town where I reside! How cool is that?*
- Apply Decou-Page over the patterned paper to seal it. Heat set.
- Edge the tag with Vintage Photo Distress Archival Ink and heat set.
- Place a small strip of Washi Tape 2 onto a craft mat and sponge with Vintage Photo Distress Archival ink onto the tape to tint it.
- Tear the tape and adhere to the tag as shown to add a bit more visual interest.
- Fussy-cut the seated Lady Vagabond from the pad and edge with a black permanent marker.
- Adhere the fussy-cut Lady Vagabond as shown.
- Working in sections, use a Vintage Photo Distress Marker to outline Lady Vagabond, then use a wet paintbrush to soften the ink outline.
- Wrap brown jute around the base of the tag.
- Wrap another strand of jute around the tag and thread through the bale of the compass charm. Knot.
- Use glue to adhere a magnifying glass or plastic where desired.
- Smoosh the mdf reinforcement onto a VersaMark pad.
- Drop the reinforcement into the jar of Aged Silver Frantage Embossing Powder, remove from the jar, shake off the excess, and heat set.
- Adhere the embossed reinforcement to the hole in the tag.
- Cut three pieces of seam binding.
- Spray a piece of seam binding with water, shake Infusion powder onto the wet seam binding, mist with water again, then heat set.
- Repeat step 21 until you have three pieces of dyed seam binding.
- Thread the three pieces of seam binding through the hole of the tag.
Notes and Tips:
- All the colors of Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints that I used were opaque, so there was no need to prime the mdf tag with gesso.
- Aged Silver Frantage Embossing Powder has a lovely mottled metallic finish.
- Bonus photo! My area of the world under a dome!
