"Life is Wonderful" Mixed Media Tag for Scrap & Craft

 

Welcome to my creative space!

I've created a shabby mixed media tag featuring Studio75 The Peony Avenue Collection along with stamps, chipboard, flowers, and trim from the Scrap & Craft store. A complete product list can be found at the bottom of this post.

I am so happy to finally work with Foamiran to create flowers. I created the large rose in the cluster and have a DIY video tutorial for these beautiful roses that you can view HERE. The Scrap & Craft store has a full line of Foamarin and flower making supplies HERE.

Tips and Techniques

 

 This beautiful focal rose is one of the first flowers I created with Foamiran. You can view my DIY video tutorial with tips on working with this fabulous product HERE.

 

I tucked in paper roses from the store along with one trimmed from Studio75 Organza Rose Trim. I had a few gaps around my cluster and a single organza rose cut in half filled those empty spaces perfectly. I also fussy cut flower and leaf images from bonus sheets in the Studio75 The Peony Avenue Collection paper set.

I adore mixing up textures and tucked in a couple fluffy white feathers along with one I molded from paper clay brushed with Finnabair's white gold art wax. The cluster is built atop a layer of wispy cheesecloth for even more texture.

 

The gorgeous Craft Molly Floral Corners Chipboard is heat embossed with Stampendous Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel. I've also added texture with Prima pearls, Prills, microbeads, glitter shards, Dusty Attic mini chipboard butterflies, and sequins. 

 

I stamped the background using Grille stamps from the Scrap & Craft store.

The background was stenciled with transparent crackle medium over a Tim Holz Stone Layering Stencil, then brushed with Lindy's Frosty Forest Green and Alpine Ice Rose Shimmer Sprays. I have a large collection of Lindy's sprays and adore how I can coordinate their gorgeous colors to my papers and elements. I also added spatters with white drawing ink then distressed the edges and colored with PanPastels.
