Mixed Media Tag My Dream Girl Portrait Drawing

Hello, my talented crafty friends, welcome back for the new challenge. This week our theme at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is "Tag It" - simply create a tag or something with a tag attached. 

I was inspired to create a mixed media tag with her girl illustration using Sakura Pigma Professional Brush Pen and colored it with Sakura Koi Watercolors Sketchbox.

I started this project with applying the modeling paste on this size 8 tag. After it was dry, I colored the tag using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons with various shades on the tag. I blended the colors with fingers and then applied the crackle paint on it to create the texture.  

The background was stamped some sentiments using Tim Holtz Life Quote Rubber Stamp and Simon Says Black Ink Pad, and heat embossed using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder and a heat tool.

On a piece of watercolor paper, I drew the girl portrait and a flower using black Sakura Pigma Brush Pen and colored it with Sakura watercolors. The illustration was cut and pasted on the tag using Tombow Adhesive tabs on the tag. The Big Chat stickers were attached on the illustration.

As the final touch, I added some star sequins randomly on the background of the tag. I really love the Pigma waterproof brush pen and the beautiful vibrant colors of Sakura watercolors. I hope this tag inspired you to create "TAG IT" and join us this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
