Artistcellar "Let Your Heart Sing..."

Hello Lovlies.....

Sarinda here with your mid week muse and a tag tutorial that will create oodles of texture on your works. This technique is stunning on canvas as well as smaller works. Also this technique I learned from an Artsy friend. Her name is Magda and her blog is also fun to go visit.

I have a secret that I what to let you in on....  I use all the time.  I love color and often when I have a creative freeze  I hop over to Design Seeds and look at all the color inspiration. This will always do the trick for me. Below is the color inspire image from Design Seeds that I used for this project.

Here is what you will need:

• Artistcellar Stencils TEXTures 2 and Tam's Inspiration
• Pitt Pens
• Tag
• Gel Medium
• Palette Knife
• Acrylic Paint
• Sponge Brush
• Distress Ink Walnut Stain
• H2O in spray bottle
• Tissue Ephemera
• Scissors

Step 1:
Apply generous Gel Medium onto your tag.

Step 2:
Adhere ephemera to the tag. I used an old pattern and some Tim Holtz Tissue. Then trim off excess around the edges.

Step 3: Add your layers of acrylic paint. I started with a Yellow.

Then a gray.

Next is white.

And Teal.


Step 4:
Find the TEXTures Stencils and add Raw Umber to parts of the tag.

Step 5:
Add a darker more intense Teal to parts of the edge and add water to blend.

Step 6:
Add Distress Ink to the surface and edges of tag.

Step 7:
Paint a yellow heart and fussy cut out.

Step 8:
Use Tam's Word stencil Loved.... Use the Pitt brush Pen and outline LOVE.

Step 9:
Give your new creation to a friend who needs to hear they are loved.

Thank you for joining me today. Wishing you all a very creative week.
Be Well-
Sarinda
