Simon Says -Tag It

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog...thank you for joining us for last week's challenge...we hope you can join us this week too because...

and the theme for this week is...
TAG IT

I decorated a canvas panel to look like an old stone wall and used Tim Holtz/Sizzix Stacked Tag Thinlits, covered with Idea-ology Botanical Collage Paper as a backdrop for theTim Holtz/Sizzix Large Stem flower and decorated with Idea-ology Keepsakes Ephemera

I applied a coat of White Gesso to a 6" x 8" Canvas Panel and fixed Idea-ology Botanical Collage Paper in place with Distress Collage Medium Matte.

I applied a light wash of Antique Linen Distress Paint and added Ranger Opague Matte Texture Paste randomly around the edges

I die-cut two tags from Distress Mixed Media Heavystock using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Stacked Tags Thinlits, covered with Idea-ology Botanical Collage Paper and a light wash of Antique Linen Distress Paint to tie in with the background.

I applied a coat of Distress Collage Medium Matte on the canvas panel, scribbled over the surface edges with a Black Soot Distress Crayon, blending it into the detail with a damp finger and highlighted the rough texture using a Picket Fence Distress Crayon.

I fixed the die-cut tags and Idea-ology Keepsakes Ephemera in place with Distress Collage Medium Matte and created shadows around the tags with a Tea Dye Distress Crayon and Distress Detailer Brush.

I die-cut the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Large Stem from Sizzix Matboard and brown foam. I intended to use the foam to create dimension but didn't use it). I coloured the flower with Tea Dye, Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint Distress Inks using mini round blending tool, spritzed with water and blotted with kitchen towel.

I added Ranger Opague Matte Texture Paste to the Etcetera Scallop Trims and coloured with Distress Crayons in the same way as the background. I fixed the flower in place with Tim Holtz/Sizzix Mini Foam Adhesive, the trims with Distress Collage Medium Matt and decorated with moss from my stash and Idea-ology Keepsakes Ephemera.

I applied Ranger Opague Matte Texture Paste through the Bubbles Mini Layering Stencil from Set 6. I added Collage Medium Matte randomly over the panel using a small paintbrush, sprinkled on the Prima Mini Art Stones and spent the next 20 minutes on my hands and knees with Mr Dyson removing all trace of the escapees from the floor and the soles of my slippers.

I added splatters of Black Soot Distress Paint and used the dabber top to add paint around the edges of the canvas.

I added a small wooden tag from my stash, painted with Antique Linen Distress Paint, decorated with Idea-ology Remnant Rubs and added a twine bow.
